Over the course of the offseason, one of the biggest questions that the Golden State Warriors needed to address was franchise star guard Steph Curry’sfuture with the team.

At 38-years-old, Curry’s illustrious career is winding down and Curry was headed into the final season of his previous contract.

After a disappointing 2025-26 season, the Warriors were clearly feeling the pressure of needing to improve the team around Curry to better the chances of giving their star one last chance at a deep playoff run before his career came to an end

Ultimately, the offseason wasn’t as star-studded as the Warriors initially planned, but that seemingly didn’t do much to dissuade Curry from staying with the team that drafted him nearly two decades ago and Curry ultimately secured his future with the team by signing a two-year, $116 million extension in late September.

Team-Friendly Extension

That deal, as massive as the payout may be, was stillless than the max amount that Curry was eligible for, a move that gives the Warriors some freedom to continue building around him.

We were going to take care of him and make sure he stays, no matter what,” Lacob said (via the San Francisco Chronicle). “Most players don’t ever take less, and he didn’t have to… if he had demanded to take all of it, we’d have paid it. He deserves it… The most important thing is he stays a Warrior for life, because he’s so important to this franchise.”

His newest extension doesn’t guarantee that he’ll retire as a Warrior, he’s remained productive through the later years of his career and could feasibly continue playing into his 40s, but it goes a long way in making the idea that he’ll spend his entire career with the Warriors possible.

Lacob’s confidence is only natural considering the importance of Curry to the Warriors and even if times have been hard for the team as of late and the upcoming season looks to still be difficult considering how difficult the Western Conference is as a whole, the one thing that that will never be in doubt about the Warriors is their commitment to Curry.
