Analyst suggests Stephen Curry should consider leaving Warriors

Summary

Following LeBron James's departure from the Los Angeles Lakers to the Philadelphia 76ers, NBA analyst Jason McIntyre argued that Stephen Curry should consider moving on from the Golden State Warriors. The Warriors, who have not finished higher than the 6th seed since their 2022 championship, may struggle to contend in the Western Conference without James. Curry, averaging 25.3 points over the last two seasons, could seek a more competitive situation as the Warriors face challenges ahead.
