Some in the media have suggested this could be a ‘Last Dance’ season for the Golden State Warriors due to the uncertain future of Draymond Green both in response to his fight with Jordan Poole but also his contract status. The Warriors already have an exorbitant salary plus luxury tax bill that will climb even further next season if Green remains.
Stephen Curry was asked in an exclusive interview with Shayna Rubin to comment on the possibility of this season being the last season with a core of himself, Green and Klay Thompson.
“Whenever someone has success, the imagination wanders to when the end is and what is going to be the reason that it unfolds,” said Curry.
“I heard it back in 2019. I heard during the pandemic. We hear it a little louder now because we won again. We would have heard it louder had we not won. Nobody has any idea what’s going to happen.
“Nobody last year could have guessed that JP (Jordan Poole) and Wiggs (Andrew Wiggins) would be in the situation they are in now. Potentially being coveted free agents that we locked into extensions. Not a lot of people put money on that.
“The conversations are part of what we do. For Draymond, Klay, me, we’ve been through it and we’re used to it. We hope that the end is when we don’t win. That should be the end, when there’s a sense that we’re not a championship contending team. We know it’s not guaranteed to win a championship. When we know we’re a team that can legitimately win championships then you make certain decisions. We haven’t been in that situation.”
