After LeBron James Miss, Can Warriors Maximize Stephen Curry’s Window?
Golden State is unlikely to chase major additions and may preserve assets for life after Stephen Curry, according to reporter Tim Kawakami.
- On Friday, LeBron James signed a two-year contract with the Philadelphia 76ers, rejecting the Golden State Warriors and the chance to join Stephen Curry in pursuit of a title.
- The Warriors remained inactive during free agency while awaiting James's decision, re-signing center Kristaps Porzingis to a two-year deal worth $40 million as their primary offseason move.
- Forward Jimmy Butler remains on the books for $56.8 million for the 2026-27 season while continuing recovery from his January torn ACL, with general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. not planning to trade him.
- Warriors Governor Joe Lacob is reportedly prioritizing long-term planning for life after Curry rather than aggressive roster moves, a strategy that has frustrated the team's fan base.
- Following a 37-45 finish last season, the franchise struggles to compete with top Western Conference teams, leaving the title window with Curry narrowing as he enters the final years of his career.
