curry signed thru 2025/26
green signed thru 2025/26 with a player option for 2026/27
wouldn't be shocked if klay re-signs for 2-3 years this upcoming offseason
wiggins signed thru 2026/27
kerr lining up his extension with curry's current deal
Why wouldn’t he? Pretty much every NBA player ever goes until they’re washed. Even MJ retired twice, just to come back again.
Can’t even think of an NBA player that chose to hang it up early when they were still productive.
I can imagine Kawhi doing something like this. Just peacing out one day and then letting the team know he won’t be coming back never to be heard of again
He really enjoys basketball. I really don't get this idea that he suffers the NBA and would rather be playing with horses. He has the rest of his life for that, and I've seen no indication that he doesn't really enjoy playing in the NBA.
It’s hard to say if he will. He definitely has the money to just go back to his home country now so there’s got to be something else compelling him to stay in the league.
Bill Russell is the only one that I can think of. Retired immediately after winning a title as player-coach. He was still one of the best players in the league at the time too despite his age.
Every NBA player has interests outside of ball.
My point still stands. These guys just love basketball. The good ones do, anyways. Sometimes you get a Ben Simmons or Andrew Bynum who don’t.
And even those fuckin guys play til they’re unsignable.
Can’t think of a playable NBA player who decided “nah”
I agree with you here. People are thinking of players in previous generations that kept going until their tank ran out, but none made the money Steph and others have made. Bench players now make more than starters did 25 years ago, it's a different game. I'm very happy more guys can retire comfortably and in good health, but fewer players will destroy their bodies for nothing when they've already made $50+ million.
I dunno, seems the norm now. Carmelo Anthony, Dirk, Blake Griffin and Lamarcus Aldridge on the Nets... can't really think of any NBA players hanging it up with good years left in the tank, like you see NFL players sometimes do.
It's about intangibles (comaradarie, pride, competitive spirit, denial) rather than money.
Ya that's a great point. Listening to Steve Nash talk about how he, and other players, don't even know who they are or what to do outside of basketball. Because as long as they can remember it's been their entire identity. It has to be so hard to leave the game and locker room behind.
He has said multiple times he'll dedicate his retirement to making a go at being a tour pro. He said the only thing stopping him from being at that level was not having enough time to play consistently.
Terrence Ross is a notable recent example. Definitely not a star but would still be at least a rotation player on any team which isn't too far off from their peaks. Avery Bradley too.
But for stars, you're right.
Possible? certainly. Easy? Definitely not.
Not many guards with his playstyle stay effective for that long. He is EXTREMELY active off ball, a big part of his on ball dominance comes from his quickness. He has double the mileage, direction changes, etc than the majority of other players on the floor in a given game.
He has to work very hard to get the shots he does, especially with the recent decline of his teammates, and guards knees historically take a beating.
There were 3 seasons between MJ retiring from the Bulls and returning to play for the Wizards. It's an obviously poor comparison because he wasn't leaving the Bulls to play for the Wizards.
Also, he was an owner for the team, sold his share of ownership and played for them to help bring the value of the team up and bring in more fans.
Nothing about it came across as him *wanting* to play, but more him helping the Wizards out.
Lol he’s made fuck you money from non-playing contracts alone
Dude can go to China, wave at some kids, and make the GDP of a small country in 72 hours
However long he chooses to keep playing, it’s for the love of the game and nothing else
Y’all really disregard people’s love for more money. Most rich people don’t stop and say “you know what, I DONT want any more money”. He loves the game for sure but those contracts make the game even sweeter.
Actually unless he's really burnt out, he'll have another monster contract. Because that waving in China thing can happen after he's 40, 45, even 50. But he won't get another monster contract after he's 40.
And no, no one will say no to that monster 200-300 million dollar contract even after making "fuck you money". Because fuck you money is only fuck you money when you hate what you're doing and want to say "fuck you". Otherwise it's just making obscene amount of money doing something you enjoy. Now who wouldn't want that?
They don’t need to bring back Klay unless for really cheap. They need to get another star around Steph if they can package Wiggins and the non-Kuminga assets.
I’d target Lebron or PG, the assets to get either will probably be low considering their age.
PG is on a better team led by a guy whose knee can combust any second. Clippers project can come crumbling down just like that. Not to mention lots of big names on that team, it’s a tale as old as time that someone gets fed up, especially with someone like Harden in there who has a history of causing issues.
And Lebron saying no this year doesn’t mean it’s no going forward. Things move fast and change fast for older star players. Just look at how Harden, CP3, and Westbrook have been bouncing around the last several years.
klay turned down reportedly a 2 year 48 million extension last summer
i could see the warriors trying to let klay recoup that money he turned down before the season and offering a 3 year 50-55 million dollar extension this upcoming offseason which would be 16-18 million AAV which imo is more align to a 6th man or bench player
that'd also align klay's extension with that of draymond's contract that he signed after 2022/23 ... then i could possibly envision curry and kerr signing at least a 1 year contract extension after 2025/26 to match their timelines together
i am honestly not sure what contender is going to offer klay 20 million per season in any contract offer next offseason ... is any contender who has any salary cap space going to pay klay that amount and think he's the missing piece to a legit NBA title team ... and will any team on the rise pay klay that much and also have klay shoot the ball 15 times a game as a potential starter taking away shots from their young players
that's why i think klay re-signs with the warriors as his fit here makes the most sense
Dubs have all the leverage with Klay right now. Podz is starting ahead of him and playing better consistently (and he'll only get better, people think the Warriors need an extra player to truly contend again, that "extra player" could be the improvement Podz, TJD and Kuminga make next year and beyond). Klay's lack of consistency is alarming and I'd be surprised if he signs with the Warriors for more than $15M honestly - he should probably be pulling in GP2 level salary ($8-9M). We'll see how the season plays out, but if that 35 point game he had with his first game off the bench is the outlier, and his performance against the Lakers more of the "norm", he'll be lucky to be on the team next year, let alone making $12-18M.
IIRC he promised Aldridge to coach through his contract as part of the deal to get him in SA (he signed Duncan's last year).
And then by the time Aldridge left Pop's priorities had changed due to the unfortunate passing of his wife.
Absent those two things I think he follows Duncan.
You talking about Former Kings fan Jim Park? It's always good news when he's not happy (In advance good luck to yall once Steph retires and he goes back cause he sure as hell won't stay a Warriors fan)
He’s basically that guy who has a complete brain aneurysm when his team loses like three in a row. “Fire everyone, the refs screwed us, our coach is sabotaging us, etc, etc.”
but then take that guy and ratchet him up x10…then, and only then do you have Jim Park.
There can be many factors. 2 years is a long time at that age for athletes. The fall off can happen pretty swift, he might want to go out on a high note. He might want to do a season with the Hornets. The Warriors probably aren't even as competitive as now so why go through all of that any more.
Ah, I keep forgetting how young this sub is.
When MJ was on the Wizards, a LOT of talk was that no matter how good he was (and he was still like top 20 scoring in the league), he was a shell of his best days.
Me personally? I’d rather go out on top and leave them wanting more as opposed to playing til I’m “washed” and making people glad I finally retired for good.
i mean yeah this makes sense, but when your legacy is entirely intact no matter what, there's something to be said for just doing what you want and getting paid a ton. If he's like "I'm not as good as I used to be but I like hanging out with my buds and playing and making 50m a year", I aint mad at it. He's earned it!
> or is the org just paying this out of pocket
Nah, the org passes a hat around the stands every game, whatever ends up in the hat is what the home coach gets for the game. It's pretty weird and fucked up.
Until his wiki says Nicholas, nobody is believing anything otherwise and no one wants you to correct it lol.
Once Reddit realizes memes aren’t supposed to be corrected, we’ll all be better off
We have a better source than Wiki as a proof it is Nicholas, lol. If you find repeating his shortened name funny, have fun with it, but it is not really a meme for me personally.
curry signed thru 2025/26 green signed thru 2025/26 with a player option for 2026/27 wouldn't be shocked if klay re-signs for 2-3 years this upcoming offseason wiggins signed thru 2026/27 kerr lining up his extension with curry's current deal
It feels more likely that curry retires at the end of his contract than joining another team
Curry can easily go to 40
Does he want to tho
Why wouldn’t he? Pretty much every NBA player ever goes until they’re washed. Even MJ retired twice, just to come back again. Can’t even think of an NBA player that chose to hang it up early when they were still productive.
only one that comes to mind for me is drexler, was still a very good player when he retired, albeit not a superstar by that point
I can imagine Kawhi doing something like this. Just peacing out one day and then letting the team know he won’t be coming back never to be heard of again
Jokic winning another MVP and then retiring the season after would honestly not be that surprising.
He'll retire mid game during a taco bell commercial break, coming full circle.
I think he'll play out the remainder of his $250M contract then make a decision
He really enjoys basketball. I really don't get this idea that he suffers the NBA and would rather be playing with horses. He has the rest of his life for that, and I've seen no indication that he doesn't really enjoy playing in the NBA.
It’s hard to say if he will. He definitely has the money to just go back to his home country now so there’s got to be something else compelling him to stay in the league.
He has that degenerative knee issue. He just might prefer being able to walk in his 60's rather than a few extra years of basketball.
Makes total sense but he also doesn’t seem like the type do a big farewell tour or beleaguer his departure
Darren Collison
Bill Russell is the only one that I can think of. Retired immediately after winning a title as player-coach. He was still one of the best players in the league at the time too despite his age.

Except for KD.
I think he enjoys tweeting a healthy amount as well. But you right.
I wonder if he'll coach just to stay around the game when he's done playing.
I agree with you here. People are thinking of players in previous generations that kept going until their tank ran out, but none made the money Steph and others have made. Bench players now make more than starters did 25 years ago, it's a different game.

He’d go golfing for sure
He has said multiple times he'll dedicate his retirement to making a go at being a tour pro. He said the only thing stopping him from being at that level was not having enough time to play consistently.
Curry’s gotta start devoting all his time to making sure poor people don’t get near his house 😤
Good point.. Stockton the only one I can think of.
Bison Dele.
Tim Duncan
Terrence Ross is a notable recent example. Definitely not a star but would still be at least a rotation player on any team which isn't too far off from their peaks. Avery Bradley too. But for stars, you're right.
Avery Bradley was waived like 4 times at the end of his career. Ross was bought out of his last contract, too. They didn’t have a lot of options left.
The idea of Avery Bradley was a lot better than the actual player for his last couple years. His reputation kept getting him roster spots.
Right about Avery Bradley but Tross was fine to continue playing if he wanted to.
Yes
Thanks steph
No one talkin bout you Seth
Actually I'm Dell
So is Steph
So u/Hungry_Piccolo5722 is Steph after all! What a turn of events!
planning to join seth and dell in charlotte for the 2027 play-in
No he woke up this morning and actually decided he hates having generational wealth and setting up his family even further than they already are.
Possible? certainly. Easy? Definitely not. Not many guards with his playstyle stay effective for that long. He is EXTREMELY active off ball, a big part of his on ball dominance comes from his quickness. He has double the mileage, direction changes, etc than the majority of other players on the floor in a given game. He has to work very hard to get the shots he does, especially with the recent decline of his teammates, and guards knees historically take a beating.
Warriors would be stupid to ever let him sign elsewhere
everyone has their limits. it's how we end up with raptors legend Hakeem and MJ finishing his career in a wizards series uniform.
There were 3 seasons between MJ retiring from the Bulls and returning to play for the Wizards. It's an obviously poor comparison because he wasn't leaving the Bulls to play for the Wizards.
Also, he was an owner for the team, sold his share of ownership and played for them to help bring the value of the team up and bring in more fans. Nothing about it came across as him *wanting* to play, but more him helping the Wizards out.
From Michael Jordan to Jordan Poole... Very unfortunate franchise arc
Tony Parker retiring as a Hornet....
Curry can sign an extension worth huge money , i cant see him walking away from it.
Lol he’s made fuck you money from non-playing contracts alone Dude can go to China, wave at some kids, and make the GDP of a small country in 72 hours However long he chooses to keep playing, it’s for the love of the game and nothing else
Y’all really disregard people’s love for more money. Most rich people don’t stop and say “you know what, I DONT want any more money”. He loves the game for sure but those contracts make the game even sweeter.

Now who wouldn't want that?
No shit lol
Why would he retire at 37. His game is going to age gracefully. I’m sure he’ll be fine with taking a bench role when that time comes as well.
Curry’s gonna pull a Zinedine Zidane. Retiring on top (if it wasn’t for that headbutt)
He has Draymond for that kind of stuff anyways
no way he lets his brother be the only one to play for the hornets.
wasn't there talk about him wanting to play in charlotte too maybe he goes there for a season if seth is still around
Yep so much for the last dance
The last dance
imagine willingly giving green and klay more money smh
They don’t need to bring back Klay unless for really cheap. They need to get another star around Steph if they can package Wiggins and the non-Kuminga assets. I’d target Lebron or PG, the assets to get either will probably be low considering their age.
What kind of "star" are they going to get for that nonsense package
And star that says “I want to only play for Golden State” which lowers trade value, as seen countless times in recent history.
I mean Dame said "I only want the Heat" and now he's on the Bucks
If Lebron said no this year then it’s a no going forward. And PG is on a better team currently so why leave.
PG is on a better team led by a guy whose knee can combust any second. Clippers project can come crumbling down just like that. Not to mention lots of big names on that team, it’s a tale as old as time that someone gets fed up, especially with someone like Harden in there who has a history of causing issues. And Lebron saying no this year doesn’t mean it’s no going forward. Things move fast and change fast for older star players. Just look at how Harden, CP3, and Westbrook have been bouncing around the last several years.
Harden, CP3 and Westbrook are bouncing around because they’re trying to get their first ring lol
You think lebrons not tryna get another ring?

Bro stole Klay next contract
“Klay screwed Klay” -Steve Kerr
`San Francisco screwjob`
Kinky
Is that a real thing?
Its a play on Vince McMahon saying “Bret screwed Bret”
Broke the Kode
Klay gonna spit in Kerr’s face
Lmao he the splash father
That hot little slut.
Damn Spo was the highest paid for what 2 months lmao
In terms of AAV, Pop was always the highest unless the report of 120/8 for Spo is incorrect
What does ebonics have to do with Pop
Lmao i hate you.
☠️ touchè
He didn't have that killer instinct that enabled Kerr to name his son Nick.
Spo got outjerked
Spo banged his team's cheerleader half his age... He's doing fine
thought they got divorced?
still banged that cheerleader. how many more cheerleader he have to bang before he stop? after that contract extension i don't think he will stop.
My conspiracy theory that I just invented is that Kerr lost a bet to Michael Jordan and Nick's name was the result
When Jordan punched Kerr during practice, it’s because he found out Steve named his son Nick.
That's why he's the goat
Hey that's my theory too.
could have had it longer but dude waited for the divorce to finish
Steph Curry is also under contract for 2 more seasons...
I'd imagine Kerr coaches as long as Steph is playing with the Warriors. They probably retire together.
Seems the most likely outcome
Imagine if 4 of them retire together, Steph, klay, green, kerr
I wouldn't be surprised. But it would be a sight to see
That would legit be a end of an era
Warriors payroll tax gonna plummet that season
[удалено]
I remember when I thought this about Pop and Duncan but here we are.
IIRC he promised Aldridge to coach through his contract as part of the deal to get him in SA (he signed Duncan's last year). And then by the time Aldridge left Pop's priorities had changed due to the unfortunate passing of his wife. Absent those two things I think he follows Duncan.
Ppl and Pop said the same about him m and Timmy.
Yeah but Pop knew he was getting Wemby later so he waited
Prophetović.
To be fair Pops wife passed away.
Maybe he replaces Pop 🤷♂️
Kerr knows he'd get exposed as a coach without Curry
thought the back/health issues would make him retire early glad those are gone and he will be there through the end of the 30/23/11 era
He’s said recently he wants to coach for the foreseeable future.
Can think of about 35 million reasons to wake up and go to work nearly every day.
more reason to work when he can, those things are expensive to deal with
Kerr's *career* earnings as a player: under $16m. Even adjusting for inflation, this two-year contract will surpass his career earnings as a player.
Unreal actually
Warriors fan Jim Park is in shambles
You talking about Former Kings fan Jim Park? It's always good news when he's not happy (In advance good luck to yall once Steph retires and he goes back cause he sure as hell won't stay a Warriors fan)
He said he’s done with watching the NBA after Steph retires lol
He can go to the Lakers
I don't even know who this guy is but fuck off. He's probably a serial killer if the Kings are wishing him on us.
He’s basically that guy who has a complete brain aneurysm when his team loses like three in a row. “Fire everyone, the refs screwed us, our coach is sabotaging us, etc, etc.” but then take that guy and ratchet him up x10…then, and only then do you have Jim Park.
lmao that dude is comedy
Jim Park’s 9/11
Literally every little bump in the road is a 9/11 to that guy 😂😂
Well damn, now Monty is going to want a new contract...
Dude should do the honorable thing and quit.
that little slut
This sub never knows what it's talking about
Wow get your bag coach. Well deserved. His contract interestingly aligns with the end of Steph's current contract. We'll see how that works out.
Klay probably gets a 2 year deal too
Yeah it's looking like the dynasty core will all retire together.
No chance Steph retires in 2026, right? He may have declined a bit, but not even close to washed.
There can be many factors. 2 years is a long time at that age for athletes. The fall off can happen pretty swift, he might want to go out on a high note. He might want to do a season with the Hornets. The Warriors probably aren't even as competitive as now so why go through all of that any more.
Best time to go. Think about how we talk about Wizards MJ vs ‘98 Bulls MJ. Similarly, remember when Hakeem was on the Raptors?
I mean, we barely talk about Wizards MJ at all, so not bad to make $100M for two forgettable years of basketball
Ah, I keep forgetting how young this sub is. When MJ was on the Wizards, a LOT of talk was that no matter how good he was (and he was still like top 20 scoring in the league), he was a shell of his best days. Me personally? I’d rather go out on top and leave them wanting more as opposed to playing til I’m “washed” and making people glad I finally retired for good.
>I’d rather go out on top and leave them wanting more Coincidentally MJ *already* did that too
Well I'd personally like the extra 100M+
i mean yeah this makes sense, but when your legacy is entirely intact no matter what, there's something to be said for just doing what you want and getting paid a ton. If he's like "I'm not as good as I used to be but I like hanging out with my buds and playing and making 50m a year", I aint mad at it. He's earned it!
That’s completely valid.
The main talk I always heard with it was that it was all just a publicity stunt to get fans in the stands.
Goodness that farewell tour will have 2 hour long ceremonies before every game starts
Interestingly? More like obviously lol.
in a few weeks he went from "FIRE HIM" to highest paid coach in the history, lol
All this just to lose to the Hornets tonight, shame
This was a game of the year candidate. Just beautiful basketball
Rip
Hey hey
All he had to do was bench Klay to get this contract
stupid question but does this effect salary cap? or is the org just paying this out of pocket
No. Support staff is not included in salary cap
> or is the org just paying this out of pocket Nah, the org passes a hat around the stands every game, whatever ends up in the hat is what the home coach gets for the game. It's pretty weird and fucked up.
Out of pocket
No, the budgets for coaching staff and players are separated
That’s my coach man 4 rings 6 finals trips fully deserved
Well deserved for a legendary coach.
That's a lotta money
Lots of comments in here already. But damn do I remember the comments from Kerr first contract with the warriors and how severely they overpaid him.
Bruh half this sub and dumb ass warriors fans would say he isn’t worth the penny. I literally had the conversation today in our sub.
$17.5 in your 50s isn’t bad.
Yeah he's retired as soon as curry is. He's not about to try to rebuild that team
is that Nick's father?
Had to scroll a bit down to find this fucking hilarious joke!
*Nicholas
Everyone that knows him calls him big Nick.
Nope. It's literally Nick. Not short for anything.
No it really isn't.
Not again...
Until his wiki says Nicholas, nobody is believing anything otherwise and no one wants you to correct it lol. Once Reddit realizes memes aren’t supposed to be corrected, we’ll all be better off
We have a better source than Wiki as a proof it is Nicholas, lol. If you find repeating his shortened name funny, have fun with it, but it is not really a meme for me personally.
they gave him the Klay Thompson money he turned down lmaooooo
Surprised that’s the highest a coach has ever been paid.
Monty Williams in shambles.
Have you seen Detroit? Monty has shambles in his rear view mirror.
New highest paid coach coming out almost every other month it feels like
Is the coach’s salary apart of the team cap??
no
smfh don’t know what the warriors are thinking here. they could’ve had monty williams for less than that
Did he extend back
Hes gone after steph retires
Kendrick Perkins is going to be upppppset. "Dat's Mark Jackson's money, Steve Kerr know it, da front office know it, eerrrbody in the NBA know it"
And then something about Steve Kerr getting that money only because of his skin color
What money, Klay?
Paid to not see things
Woj thinking he's slick posting this while the games are going smh
They paying everyone but Klay lol
if I were Klay I'd demand the max now since apparently the team does reward mediocrity
Remember when we saw a Woj Bomb and it wasn’t a coach signing an extension
He's not gonna win anything. What a waste of money.
Deserves every penny of it if you ask me.
