Stephen Curry: 'I wish it would have gone differently, in the sense of whatever Klay needed from the Warriors to not feel disrespected'

- by

Stephen Curry: Klay turned (the extension) down, and, you know, we ended up here. I wish it would have gone differently, in the sense of whatever Klay needed (from the Warriors) to not feel disrespected. I can’t answer that, because that’s a Klay thing to talk about. I wish that’s how it would have gone down. But I also know that because he needed a fresh start, things were kind of looked at a little differently. And that was kind of the throughline of this whole last season. It’s a two-way street on that front. I think that’s why Klay was so adamant that I not get involved, because whatever outcome he wanted, he wanted to make sure it was a kind of a pure process. And at the end of the day, we all have to make decisions that are in the best interest of yourself. I’ll do that at times when it’s what’s right for me.

“It’s why I’m here.”
When I asked Steph Curry what winning a gold medal at the Olympics would mean for him after accomplishing so much in the NBA, it became clear why this means “everything” to the Warriors superstar nbcsportsbayarea.com/nba/golden-sta…2:25 PM

Something to monitor: Steph Curry keeps looking down at his right hand and rubbing finger during Team USA’s scrimmage. He’s still playing but he’s looking down at it whenever he gets a chance – 4:55 PM

More on this storyline

What about Stephen Curry? There are so many cool things about playing with him. But what’s your favorite experience playing with Steph? Brandin Podziemski: “The game-winner that he hit against Phoenix and off the inbounds pass that I passed to him. That’s definitely my favorite moment for the year. He’s an incredible person. The thing that’s different about him in regards to other stars is that people want to play for him. He’s a great leader. He inspires others. He doesn’t ask for much. He gives everybody the credit and the limelight. He just goes out there and works his tail off as much as he can. He lets us have our shine. He’s a super personable person. People want to play for him. So as a young guy coming in, that’s all you can ask for in a mentor.” -via SportsKeeda / July 8, 2024
Evan Sidery: Paul George confirmed on @PodcastPShow the Warriors were his preferred destination, but a sign-and-trade agreement fell through: “It would’ve been dope, man. I was looking forward to it, if it happened.” Golden State viewed George as their missing piece alongside Stephen Curry. pic.twitter.com/4JnlwpRgkN -via Twitter @esidery / July 8, 2024
