Stephen Curry Rumors
Seth Curry: 'Steph would love me to come over there and play with him'
As the best available shooter, Seth would be a logical candidate for any of those teams. He led the NBA last season in 3-point shooting percentage at 45.6 percent. His career 43.3-percent shooting from deep places him second among active players, behind Atlanta Hawks wing Luke Kennard (43.8) and just ahead of his third-place brother (42.3). “I always have to do what's best for myself,” Seth Curry says. “Obviously, Steph would love me to come over there and play with him. And the fans showed me a lot of love at all times. (Our) Family would love it. I've obviously I've always embraced the Warriors and their system and love the way they play. And you never know what can happen.”
According to Marc Spears of ESPN, Stephen Curry plays a potentially crucial role in how Horford may go about this decision. Spears claims that Horford's eldest son is a massive fan on Curry and could push his father to officially confirm the deal which has reportedly already been agreed upon with a handshake deal. "But keep in mind, do you know who I think is going to be in this decision? His 10-year-old son, Ean," Spears shared Tuesday on "NBA Today." "He just started traveling with Al on the road about two seasons ago. The kid loves basketball. I know he's like, 'Dad! Steph Curry, dad!' I can see Ean convincing his dad to keep playing."
Lev Akabas: Steph Curry was the highest-paid NBA player last season, including both salary and endorsement earnings, per @sportico.bsky.social . He made >$150 million 💰 Before Curry, the last player to earn more than LeBron in a season was Kobe Bryant in 2012-13
Steph Curry revealed the key to the Warriors’ success for the upcoming 2025-26 NBA season. In an exclusive interview with NBC Sports Bay Area’s Monte Poole at the American Century Championship in South Lake Tahoe, the four-time NBA champion detailed how Golden State can return to glory. “I mean, we’ll talk about X’s and O’s and the philosophy of how this particular team that’s coming in next year needs to play to win, and that’ll evolve over the course of training camp and the 82-game schedule,” Curry told Poole. “Right now, it’s everybody taking advantage of an unfortunately longer offseason to get refreshed and rejuvenated, mentally and physically. Our last 35 games and the playoffs felt like a full-on sprint.”
No one knows. However, Curry and the Dubs have been there and done that. The 11-time NBA All-Star isn’t too worried about Golden State at this point in time. “We know how to win; we know how to play; pieces fit," Curry told Poole. "We’ll kind of commit to that and embrace the challenge of trying to climb the mountaintop again.”

Warriors star Steph Curry came up short during the American Century Championship's final round on Sunday in South Lake Tahoe. The 2023 ACC champion won't be hoisting the trophy again after finishing with a score of 58, good enough for fifth place. San Jose Sharks legend Joe Pavelski was the victor, posting 73 points for his first ACC win in nine tries after second-place finishes in 2022 and 2024.
Stephen Curry on potential retirement: I'm just taking it two years at a time
Anthony Slater: Steph Curry out in Tahoe asked how long he planned to keep playing in the NBA: “I don’t know. I’m just taking it two years at a time. That’s what I have left on my contract right now.”
Kevon Looney: I had hip surgery before the season started, so I was out for a big chunk of that year, but I remember coming home from practices and talking with my folks, or friends back in Milwaukee and being like: “No joke, Steph … you don’t even understand. It’s insane. I’m pretty sure he’s the best player I’ve ever seen in my life.” We lost nine games all season. Nine. Total. For the entire regular season, 73–9. Like are you kidding me? Obviously I can’t take any credit at all for that excellence, but I can tell you that it was fun as hell to watch from up close. Steph and Klay and them, they like to say that I didn’t talk to anyone for the first six months. And I dispute that for sure. But I will admit that I only really started being myself after I saw Coach Kerr and Draymond screaming at each other during that game at OKC when Steph hit the half-court buzzer beater in OT.
New York went into the initial stages of the hiring process with Brown’s name circled. Per league sources, the Knicks liked Brown’s extensive résumé and the fact that he’s worn many hats in the NBA. Brown’s willingness to collaborate and the leadership qualities the franchise examined were also big selling points, league sources said. New York, led by stars Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns, liked that Brown has worked with James, Bryant and Curry.

NBA players forgo over $480 million from escrow fund
The NBA just wrapped its accounting on the 2024-25 season and pegged basketball-related income (BRI) at $10.25 billion, according to someone familiar with the accounting who was granted anonymity because the details are private. It’s a key number for players, as it determines how much of their salary they get to keep from last season. The news is not great for players, as they will forgo more than $480 million from the escrow fund set aside to make the math work in the shared-revenue system laid out in the collective bargaining agreement between players and the league.
Stephen Curry gets dinged the most as the NBA’s highest-paid last season at $55.8 million—he also made an estimated $100 million off the court. Curry will forgo $5.1 million, and other players taking big haircuts include Joel Embiid ($4.7 million), Nikola Jokic ($4.7 million), Bradley Beal ($4.6 million) and Kevin Durant ($4.5 million).
Players will ultimately retain 90.9% of their salaries for the 2024-25 season, as the 10% escrow was split 91% to teams and 9% back to players. A player with a $20 million salary would net $18.2 million before taxes and agent fees.
Jabari Smith, at $24.4 million, would have been the highest paid NBA player as late as the 2007-08 season. Stephen Curry was the NBA’s highest paid player during the 2019-20 season and the first to crack the $40 million threshold; that would make him just the 29th-highest paid player next season. The NBA will have 16 players earn at least $50 million during the 2025-26 season; the NFL, MLB and NHL will have six between them.
