When it comes to the progress of the contract extension, Curry once said bluntly that he undoubtedly wants to stay in the Bay Area for the rest of his life. "The time is not the most critical. The most important thing is for everyone to focus on preparations for the new season." According to Charania, the Warriors immediately offered Curry a variety of options, including taking the full maximum salary, accepting a slightly lower salary, or not making a decision for the time being and continuing to observe, depending on how much space the team can create by increasing salary flexibility in the future.

The 38-year-old Curry spent nearly a month considering these options, hoping to make a decision before the season. Today it was reported that he signed a two-year contract with the Warriors worth a total of US$116 million and is about to usher in the 18th season of his NBA career. Curry only played 43 games last season due to persistent pain and swelling in his right knee. He averaged 26.6 points, 4.7 assists and 3.6 rebounds per game, and shot 39.3% from three-point range.
