WAITING: Steph Curry's Warriors Future SPARKS Extension Debate as Talks STALL Before Season
Locked On NBA – Daily Podcast On The National Basketball AssociationShow Notes
Golden State Warriors face uncertainty as Steph Curry weighs an extension, casting doubt on whether he’ll remain a one-team icon. Can the Warriors front office regain Curry's trust and assemble a true championship contender, or will cap space gambits and injury recovery complicate their path forward? Tony East and Danny Cunningham debate the front office’s missteps, potential free agent targets, and the risk-reward of waiting for flexibility with stars like Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green also on the market. New York Knicks juggle financial limits with Karl-Anthony Towns’ extension talks stagnating and Jalen Brunson’s next deal looming. Will team owner James Dolan ever greenlight a second apron splurge to defend their title, or could the Knicks’ core be torn apart by the new cap era? The conversation covers Victor Wembanyama’s contract strategy, challenges for Marcus Smart and Gary Trent Jr., and injury woes for Dallas Mavericks’ Derek Lively.
