Stephen Curry discussed Klay Thompson and the possibility of him leaving the Golden State Warriors after the team’s loss to the Sacramento Kings.
Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors saw their season end on Tuesday night after they failed to defeat the Sacramento Kings in the Play-In Tournament. The loss doesn’t just end their season but also increases looming questions about upcoming offseason decisions.
As things stand, the Warriors have a decent mix of veteran experience and young talent, but the questions highlight the topic of their current core of stars. And after a woeful 0-of-10 night from the field against the Kings, the biggest name to monitor is Klay Thompson, whose future is up in the air.
The three-point specialist is slated to become a free agent and has not come to terms on an extension. With that in mind, many are wondering what the future holds for Thompson, and, as a result, Draymond Green, the other superstar on the roster down the line. Curry was asked to comment on this after the season-ending loss to the Kings, and as reported by Ben Golliver of the Washington Post, the four-time NBA Champion gave a somewhat ambiguous response.
“I can never see myself not with those two guys. I understand this league changes and there are so many things that go into it…I know they want to win and I want to win. That’s all I’m worried about.” – Stephen Curry
Curry’s response raises a lot of questions. For starters, he made clear his loyalty to both Thompson and Green. Having shared the court with them for so long, it’s understandable why he wouldn’t want to play without them. But, at the same time, he does acknowledge that the NBA is a league that is constantly changing, and more than anything, both he and his teammates want to win.
