Golden State Warriors 2026 offseason and Curry extension

Overview

The Golden State Warriors' 2026 offseason has focused on roster stability and the future of Stephen Curry. After announcing a plan to prioritize turnover reduction and retain core veterans like Draymond Green, Al Horford, and Kristaps Porzingis, the team re-signed role players De’Anthony Melton, Gary Payton II, and Charles Bassey, while adding rookie Yaxel Lendeborg.

Amid trade speculation, Curry reaffirmed his commitment to the franchise, dismissing rumors as “smoke without fire” and expressing a desire to avoid a rebuilding phase. General Manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. noted that while the team would honor a trade request if Curry made one, stating, “He’s earned the right to do what he wants,” the possibility of Curry leaving is considered nearly zero.

On August 29, Curry officially became eligible for a contract extension. The Warriors are reportedly prepared to offer a two-year maximum extension valued at approximately $136.7 million. Curry faces several strategic paths: signing the two-year maximum now, waiting until next summer to negotiate a longer three-year maximum deal, or accepting a lower salary to grant the organization greater cap flexibility.

As of August 31, Curry has expressed his intention to finish his professional career with the Warriors, despite entering the final year of his current contract. While management, including owner Joe Lacob, aims to resolve his contractual future before the season begins, Curry has indicated that negotiations will occur at the ‘right time’ to avoid becoming a distraction from seasonal preparations. Due to the NBA’s Over-38 Rule, he is eligible for a maximum extension of roughly $136.7 million over two years. Curry is set to be the league's highest-paid player for the 2026-27 campaign, earning approximately $63 million.
