After showcasing the highest level of basketball in the Olympics, Steph Curry will now be heading back to the Bay. The Chef had an absolute blast in his first-ever Olympic appearance, however, it’s time to get back to business.
And speaking of business, the Warriors front office hopes for things to work out next season after a poor summer. They tried to bring in Paul George, but the realistic rumor was short-lived. This was followed by targeting Lauri Markkanen, whose trade talks stretched over weeks.
Unfortunately, the Finnish forward decided to stay in Utah, crushing the Warriors’ dreams of adding an All-Star alongside Steph Curry. But in recent news, Curry was well aware of the talks in the front office. “Curry was in on the recruitment of George.
Dunleavy keeps him in the loop on the options and ultimate personnel decisions. 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.” Athletic’s Slater reported.
This brings out two key takeaways. The main being Steph Curry’s mindset going into the next season. Yes, the roster isn’t fully equipped to win a championship this season, but the Chef is quite patient before he can judge the upcoming season’s trajectory. And secondly, failing to add major assets may just be alarming for the Warriors in more than one way.
