SAN FRANCISCO — The Golden State Warriors have agreed to a two-year, $116 million extension with Stephen Curry, formally securing the franchise’s long-running plan of continuing to have Stephen Curry.
The deal keeps Curry in Golden State through the 2028-29 season and gives the organization additional time to develop a secondary strategy if one ever becomes necessary.
‘We looked at every option,’ said one fictional Warriors executive. ‘Then we remembered Steph is still here.’
Golden State officials reportedly spent months analyzing roster construction, salary-cap flexibility, age curves and championship windows before arriving at the same conclusion they have used for nearly two decades.
Give Curry the ball.
The organization has tried several supporting casts, tactical adjustments and increasingly complicated payroll structures around the concept, but the central mechanism has remained largely unchanged.
If things become difficult, Curry shoots from farther away.
If that fails, the Warriors reportedly plan to ask him to shoot from slightly farther away than that.
Team officials insist the extension is about stability, leadership and preserving a championship culture rather than simply refusing to imagine basketball life after Curry.
Privately, however, one employee acknowledged that the post-Curry section of the franchise plan remains a blank page labeled ‘later.’
For now, Golden State has solved the problem again.
Their future is apparently still the guy they drafted in 2009.
