I know someone made a thread about the David Lee injury helping create this GS run.

But Stephs shaky ankles early in his career made it possible for GS to GROSSLY underpay him which in turn freed up cap space to pay the many important parts of a historically deep and good team.

GS has a player on one of the greatest runs in NBA history and they are paying him peanuts :wow:

It's crazy how things work out.
It wasn't the ankles. He signed a slave deal because he has a slave mentality

So only unanimous ROY and all stars get max deals??

Curry signed for half of what Roy did like two years after him.

You really think Curry couldn't get a better deal than 4/44 on the open market?

If you ain't saying that, STFU

From 2012


As Curry told NBA.com in August when asked what he would do as general manager: “I don’t know. You’re playing chess with it. If they were to take that approach to wait and I’ve had a great season, hopefully it would spark some interest across the league for the future and the price would drive up. If I were the Warriors, I’d offer a reasonable amount and sign me up now.”

An average of $11 million a year is definitely reasonable for Curry. This was no low ball. This was the Warriors taking on financial risk with a player who is clearly talented, but who has also been knocked from the lineup five times the last two regular seasons, not counting similar problems in past exhibition play. He would get hurt running downcourt without being touched. He had surgery on the right ankle in April. He hurt it again this preseason, though in a collision, and was held out of games.

The Warriors being proactive is nothing new. This is a new level of proactive, though, dependant on much more than gut feelings about hiring an untested coach and general manager or basketball evaluations on roster moves. They’re playing chess with it.

He's going to get fed when he signs that 5 year, 180 million dollar contract

The Truth
This nikka focused on a Ring, not just his "Brand"...


He's set himself up by increasing UA's stock every time he drops a 50 point game, or blows out a team while playing 3 quarters and carving up defenses...


And no one cares about Finals mvp's... Or mvp's in general. The players don't, that shyt isn't what make you among the greatest ever

Now he's just going to be overpaid once he's out of his prime and likely with a couple championships and league MVP awards to boot.

GS should give curry a piece of the franchise now and continue to pay him pennies (in an nba sense) to keep everyone togethor.
