He will be a Warrior for life – GSW general manager Mike Dunleavy on Steph Curry

Golden State Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy is focused on making the team around Steph Curry for the upcoming season of the NBA. The Warriors have already lost the services of Klay Thompson, who has moved to the Dallas Mavericks on a three-year, $50 million deal.

The Dubs registered 46 wins in the previous season but failed to even qualify for the playoffs. Meanwhile, Curry’s contract is set to end after the 2025-26 season but it is eligible to extend for an extra year this summer. Curry has made his intentions clear that he wants to be a Warrior for the remainder of his career.

“That guy can get whatever he wants,” Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy said in a news conference Friday. “It’s been a sprint here getting through the draft and free agency and summer league, but all of that will get figured out. Steph, I think I can say pretty confidently, that he will be a Warrior for life.”

Curry averaged 26.4 points, 5.1 assists, and 4.5 rebounds in 74 games in 2023-24. He was selected to play in his tenth All-Star games. Dunleavy admitted they had to make the changes after failing to make it to the playoffs in the previous season.

“I think it would have been hard to run the same team back,” Dunleavy said. “Although 46 wins is pretty good, we didn’t make the playoffs. But this isn’t something where it’s like broken completely. We just need to tune some things up. I think we’ve been able to do that, and we’re excited about this group.”

Dunleavy added the franchise is still open to bringing in another player but doesn’t think it will happen immediately.

“Free agency stuff has calmed down. We’ve got 14 guys and are against the first apron, so adding in that regard right now would be tough,” Dunleavy said. “But you’re always looking around the league to get better, talking to teams and exploring stuff.

“I like our team, but there’s also some things that we can look to improve at.”
