Kendrick Perkins advises Stephen Curry to leave Warriors for a chance at success
Summary

Kendrick Perkins suggests Stephen Curry should consider leaving the Golden State Warriors to pursue a championship. With the Warriors aiming to retain much of their 37-45 roster from last season, Perkins expresses concern that Curry, now 38, won't compete for another title soon. The team has made only minor offseason changes, drafting Yaxel Lendeborg and Lajae Jones while extending contracts for key players. Perkins opposes Curry leaving but highlights the need for him to play in meaningful games. Golden State missed out on signing LeBron James, who instead signed with the Philadelphia 76ers this summer.
