Stephen Curry's extension decision impacts Warriors' future plans

Summary

Stephen Curry's potential contract extension with the Golden State Warriors could shape the team's strategy in the upcoming season. The Warriors can officially extend Curry starting Saturday, with a maximum two-year deal worth $137 million. Three scenarios are possible: a straightforward extension, a discounted extension that allows for additional roster flexibility, or not signing an extension, which could lead to speculation about his future with the team. The Warriors also have the capacity to create significant cap space next season, depending on how they manage trades. Meanwhile, former All-Star Dejounte Murray is attracting attention as his performance returns from injury could revive his market value.
