Rumors

Stephen Curry confirmed something Warriors fans had assumed for months without ever hearing him say it outright: he actively tried to recruit LeBron James to join Golden State this summer, before James ultimately signed with the Philadelphia 76ers. Curry didn't shy away from admitting it. "If anybody didn't try, I think they'd be a fool," Curry said, adding that seeing a player of James' stature get to choose his own next chapter was good for the league as a whole.

Entering his 18th NBA season with his contract set to expire in 2027, Curry made it clear he has no interest in testing free agency or walking away from the franchise that drafted him. "I want to be a lifer with Golden State," Curry said.
