Warriors look to post‑Curry future as LeBron, Davis stalls

Entities: Joe Lacob · Stephen Curry · Anthony Davis · LeBron James · Golden State Warriors

Overview

Jimmy Butler’s ACL rehabilitation remains on track, with full‑speed running expected in about six weeks and a projected return to the Golden State Warriors around the holiday season, meaning he will miss roughly half of the current campaign. The Warriors have reiterated they will not trade Butler, viewing him as a valuable salary asset for future roster moves. Butler’s specialty coffee brand Bigface opened its first brick‑and‑mortar shop in Miami’s Design District, selling premium coffee bags priced between $30 and $40.

The Warriors’ pursuit of LeBron James stalled after the Washington Wizards made clear they will not part with Anthony Davis, removing a key piece from the Warriors’ super‑team plan. NBA insiders note the team has fallen behind other suitors such as the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat and Philadelphia 76ers, and significant roster upgrades are still needed to attract James. Draymond Green dismissed rookie Yaxel Lendeborg’s public pitch to recruit James as “pointless,” while Stephen Curry remains enthusiastic about the possibility. The roster still hinges on its veteran core, Butler’s health, and the promising rookie Lendeborg.

Owner Joe Lacob said the franchise is now planning for Stephen Curry’s eventual retirement. After last summer’s evaluation of high‑profile options such as James and Davis failed to materialise, the organization is concentrating on developing young talent, rejuvenating the roster and expanding training programs to sustain success after Curry departs. The strategy aims to integrate emerging players while maintaining a winning mentality and avoiding a prolonged rebuild.
