Will Stephen Curry choose to leave Warriors?

Over the past couple of years, the Golden State Warriors have failed their best player.

They have swung and missed on several attempts to pair Stephen Curry with another superstar, making only marginal moves and acquiring aging and/or brittle former stars. The Warriors are reportedly bracing for the post-Curry era, even though he can still lead a team to the playoffs and, with the right supporting cast, championship contention.

Of course, that has prompted speculation about whether he'll ultimately force his way out of the Bay Area. According to NBA insider Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints, that's not even on the table. 

Stephen Curry will never leave the Warriors

“There’s been a lot of noise since they missed out on LeBron of, ‘Oh, does Steph Curry want out? What’s going to happen with Steph?'” Siegel said. “He does not want out.”

The renowned insider took it a bit further by betting his reputation on Curry staying put for the long run. It's not just that he won't be traded at any point next season; he will spend his entire career with the organization that drafted him.

“I can say that with 100% confidence that he will not be moved this offseason. He will not be moved during the 2026-27 season,” added Siegel. “Stephen Curry is going to remain with the Warriors very likely throughout the rest of his career. I don’t see any scenario in which he leaves. That is his team.”

In a time when players often choose ring-chasing over staying loyal to an organization, that's certainly less common by the year. That said, the Warriors also owe it to Curry to pay back his loyalty with the moves he needs to win another championship.

The front office doesn't seem to trust him to lead them to the mountaintop again, which, after everything he's accomplished in the past decade-plus, should be considered flat-out disrespectful.
