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.
Draymond Green: "I think wishing that the NBA took $50 million from a player is disgusting. I think it's purely disgusting. I like Gallo, I like Gallo a lot actually, but this is, this is disgusting to me. And the reason this is disgusting because number one, I don't, I don't want anyone getting fined. I think that, I think that shit is whack. You can go back and look where I said if this is true, I hope the punishment is they dismantle the CBA, not take $50 million out of Kawhi Leonard's pocket. That's so whack and I can't believe he said that."
Draymond Green: "Kawhi Leonard does not have the power to trade a player. He can request, hey, I want y'all to go out there and get this guy, but he don't have the ability to make that trade. That franchise have to agree, just like they had to agree that they were going to circumvent the cap. He can't make them do that. These are decisions that that franchise made. So in turn, you must have left a big enough impact on that franchise. But to blame another player and say he should have to pay off $50 million back, that shit is whack."
Draymond Green: Galinari is one of those guys who was extremely talented, who would give you fits, but was a little lazy. Uh, one of those guys who was not known as someone who give their all to the game of basketball. Uh, one of those guys who come in with a random back injury. One of those guys who isn't always in tip-top basketball shape because the word around him is he don't really care. To put your career mishaps on Kawhi Leonard coming to the Clippers and then you getting traded..

Draymond Green: "For the first time in my career, Coach (Steve) Kerr told me towards the end of last year, he pulled me to the side, he's like, Draymond, I want you shooting the three. And I was like, oh shit. Like it was like a, it was like a out of body out of body experience, because I had never really heard him like confidently look me in my eyes and say to me like, yo, I want you shooting the basketball. Even when I was shooting the ball great, it was just something that I had never heard. And so when he told me, like the confidence level raised immediately, like, oh man, like Coach want me to shoot."
Oh No He Didn't: Shams on rookie extensions for the rest of the 2023 draft class: "I'm told there is optimism with an Ausar Thompson extension in Detroit. And then I would also keep an eye on Cason Wallace, Brandin Podziemski, Jaime Jaquez...and Anthony Black who's also a high draft pick in that class. But I would look at both Brandon Miller and Ausar Thompson to have more and more conversations with their respective teams, the Hornets and the Pistons, in the upcoming days and weeks"

Heat Central: Draymond Green DEFENDS Giannis after Channing Frye called him a 7’0 running back who isn’t as skilled: “I think this is a dumb statement. To call one of the greatest in the game Giannis, a 7FT running back is PATHETIC. It takes a lot of skill to dribble end to end and dunk the ball. Takes lot of skill to get in the paint and get finished and kick outs. I’ve seen him take people to the post and put in the rim. — To act as ‘he’s a RB’ cause he don’t have the same skillset as Joel Embiid, ok cool. Then Shaq was also a RB. Kevin Garnett did not have the skillset as Joel Embiid… That’s wack. Calling somebody that great a 7FT RB, that’s clickbait.”
Draymond Green Show: Draymond reacts to Danilo Gallinari's comments on Kawhi Leonard "I think wishing the NBA took $50 million from a player is disgusting... that also wasn't his first time being traded, so for him to sit and act as if Kawhi Leonard ruined his career, that's bulls**t... I think Gallinari would choose Paul George over himself and if you won't, that's crazy, that's ridiculous... Kawhi Leonard does not have the power to trade a player, he can request... but he don't have the ability to make that trade."
Stephen Curry: "It was a great run. Under Armour had a great experience over the 12, 13 years I was there. I developed Curry Brand underneath Under Armour. They were able to take my brand out and search for a new partnership that for me is looking at the longevity and legacy of what I think is possible not just here in the US, but globally across basketball, golf, lifestyle, and training. Li-Ning has been an unbelievable partner. It's a long-term scope of what we're trying to do. It's crazy just from a product perspective, I got to try out a bunch of different shoes and I lived up to the free agent tag for sure. I tried literally everything and there was a reason that Li-Ning stood tall at the end because the product reigned supreme and so Dwyane Wade, Jimmy Butler, two guys that have been with the brand for a very long time, they kind of set the stage. I'm excited, we're five months in, I just got back from a tour the last week, so I'm excited about the opportunity."
