Warriors’ Stephen Curry’s take on Dubs sacrificing future at trade deadline
Stephen Curry gave so much Golden State Warriors franchise, putting together an incredible career that would make him a first-ballot Hall of Famer. However, how the team understands its current situation until NBA trade deadline next month, the superstar guard is aligned with the idea of maintaining stability over the long term.
After the Warriors’ game against the Toronto Raptors, Warriors’ Athletics reporter Anthony Slater spoke with Curry about potential team activities before the Feb. 6 trade deadline. His answer showed that logical sense is the deciding factor in whether or not a franchise should make certain trades.
“There’s a responsibility to keep the franchise in a good space (long term),” Curry said, according to Slater. “If there was a situation that made sense for our team, I’m pretty sure we would have known about it.” That’s how we’ve always acted.”
“The nice thing about being in the space we’re in is that Steve Kerr, Steph Curry and I don’t agree to mortgage the future of this organization, saying let’s go for it right now.” Bad teams do that. Bad organizations do that. We’re neither,” Green told Yahoo Sports Thursday night after the Warriors’ 107-104 win over Detroit.
“So for us, if something is going to happen, it needs to be the right thing.” We’re not going to jump in and make the wrong decision because we panicked. That’s how you set your organization back five to seven years.”
