The Golden State Warriors have undergone significant change this summer. Klay Thompson left for the Dallas Mavericks, forcing the front office to begin adding new talent to help fill the void left by the future Hall of Famer. De’Antony Melton, Kyle Anderson and Buddy Hield have all joined the franchise since Thompson’s departure.
However, the Warriors did miss out on Lauri Markkanen, who, by all accounts, was their top trade target. The Utah Jazz eventually signed the impressive forward to a contract extension, ending the Warriors’ chances of securing a trade and forcing them to pivot or potentially head into the new season with their current roster.
According to The Athletic’s Anthony Slater, Curry has remained calm this summer, showing no signs of “panic or unrest” with the current situation.
“Dunleavy keeps him in the loop on the options and ultimate personnel decisions,” Slater reported. “Curry hasn’t, team sources said, expressed any signs of panic or unrest. But there’s a choice of action or inaction in the coming months that’ll give a clearer hint about his long-term mindset.”
Golden State’s performance at the beginning of the season will likely dictate whether Curry remains calm regarding the franchise’s current direction or starts to pressure the front office to create some movement in the trade market.
Of course, a lot will depend on how Golden State performs between October and the Feb. 6 trade deadline.
