I also asked Curry how he dealt with watching teammates and many, many lesser players sign much larger deals almost instantly after he signed his four-year, $44 million rookie extension last October 2012 (which didn’t kick in until until 2013).

By the way, Curry has never been the Warriors’ highest-paid player and is currently their fourth-highest paid.

“I remember sitting in a hotel, at the Ritz-Carlton in Phoenix, right before our opening night game against the Suns and sitting with Bob Myers and coach (Mark) Jackson and signing that contract,” Curry said of the 2012 extension on the eve of the season.

“My perspective was, ‘Man, I’ll be able to take care of my family with this. Blessed to be able to know I’ll be playing at least in the NBA for four years and see where it goes from there.’

“But I literally told myself in that hotel room that day, knowing what the max was I think at the time was probably, 56 or 58, somewhere in there, I think Eric Gordon and guys like that were getting that money, I was, ‘You can’t think 20-20 hindsight, go back and worry about other guys are making.’

“One thing my pops always told me is you never count another man’s money. It’s what you’ve got and how you take care of it. And if I’m complaining about $44 million over four years, then I’ve got other issues in my life.

I understand what he saying however in professional sports the market dictates your value and income.

So during negotiations best believe him or his agent got huge posterboards of these bums with 70+ million like :martin:

He not gon take less money than Dellevadova so essentially you gotta count other nikkas pockets.

In his case there is nothing to negotiate. Hes getting that 5 year 200 million dollar contract.
