SAN FRANCISCO — The Golden State Warriors have assured fans that Steph Curry’s unresolved extension will create no drama this season, announcing a detailed schedule for discussing the lack of drama at every available opportunity.
The organization’s communications staff has prepared a daily update. At 9 a.m., reporters will be told there is nothing new. At noon, the team will clarify that the morning’s lack of news should not be interpreted as a development. Before each game, Curry will answer three questions about whether answering questions has become a distraction.
“We’re completely comfortable with where things stand,” said a person familiar with the situation, speaking on the condition that nobody ask where things stand.
Curry remains under contract for the coming season, a detail the team hopes will eventually receive as much attention as the extension he has not signed. Warriors officials have also discouraged the phrase “contract watch,” preferring “ongoing observation of a perfectly normal situation.”
The team insists there is no deadline. It has nevertheless reserved a conference room through April, created a group chat called NO DRAMA, and asked the coaching staff to prepare a response in case Curry scores 40 points while a contract graphic appears on television.
Curry said the situation will not affect his play. Analysts immediately began examining what it would mean if he makes his first shot, misses his first shot, or looks in the general direction of the front office.
As of press time, there was no update. The Warriors expect to provide another one tomorrow.
