The Golden State Warriors are reportedly super open to handing two-time MVP Stephen Curry a max contract extension this summer. Yeah, you heard that right. While Curry’s still got one season left on his current deal, word from Anthony Slater is the Warriors are eyeing either a one-year or two-year max extension. Even with LeBron James’ status uncertain across the league, it looks like Golden State is all-in on their legendary point guard.

The One-Year Deal That Keeps The Core Together

Think about what a one-year extension means. It’s not just about keeping Steph in the Bay Area, it actually aligns his contract perfectly with coach Steve Kerr, who just inked his own two-year extension this offseason. That’s a massive power move for continuity, giving you your superstar and your championship coach synced up and ready to keep driving this dynasty.

The Splash Brother Reunion We All Want To See

And here’s the kicker, folks. That one-year extension for Curry? It could totally open the door for his “Splash Brother,” Klay Thompson, to rejoin him in Golden State for the 2027-28 season. Imagine that! The band back together, one more time. But there’s a big question hanging over this whole thing: Does Curry even plan on playing beyond the 2027-28 campaign? By then, he’ll be 40 years old, logging a ridiculous 19 years of NBA experience. That’s absolutely insane longevity right there.

It’s a wild thought, seeing one of the game’s all-time greats potentially still balling at 40, still draining those logo threes. The Warriors are clearly banking on his legendary impact and his ability to defy Father Time. The ball’s in Curry’s court now, but if Golden State gets their way, we could be watching him add even more chapters to his incredible story in the Bay. What an era!
