The Golden State Warriors have answered a lot of questions over the past few days. First, they re-signed Steve Kerr to a two-year contract on Saturday, bringing back the 12-year head coach when it had initially been extremely uncertain if he'd return following the end of the season.

Then, the Warriors secured pick No. 11 in the NBA draft at Sunday's draft lottery, giving more clarity to their offseason plans that must revolve around smart roster construction in order to maximize their chances at contention over the next few years.

Now, new reports are emerging about how some of the players are evaluating the situation, and the most important of them all is reportedly ready to keep things going.

Steph Curry is the face of the franchise. He has been on that track since he was drafted 7th overall in the 2009 NBA Draft, and he's surpassed all expectations by winning two MVPs, leading the Warriors to four championships, and helping the franchise become the most valuable in the entire league.

At 38 years old, though, the end is on the horizon for Curry. No one really knows exactly how much longer, but it for sure won't be another decade.

Still, it seems like Curry is determined not to let this ride come to an end too soon.

After losing in the Play-In game a few weeks ago, Curry was emphatic when he said he wanted to play "multiple" more years in the NBA. At that time, he didn't say anything more, especially when asked about a potential extension, but following Kerr's new contract, reports came out that conversations between Curry and the Warriors' front office about a possible extension are expected to take place later this summer.

There is now a hard number on that "multiple" phrasing that Curry used, and more evidence that an extension could be in the works. Brett Siegel reported in his article for ClutchPoints that team sources have said, "Curry has made it known multiple times throughout the years that he would like to play at least 20 seasons in the NBA."

The 2025-26 season was Curry's 17th, meaning at least three more seasons from the all-time great. By the time he finishes a potential 20th season in 2029, Curry will be 41 years old, which would likely make him one of the oldest in the league, if not the oldest, depending on who retires before then. 

20 seasons in the NBA and playing beyond 41 years old is a tall task, but Curry might have one of the best skill sets to do it.

Oftentimes, players retire because athleticism is the first thing to leave as they get older. The NBA is filled with athletically gifted specimens, but that means a major part of their game goes away once that athleticism begins to fade. Unless you're superhuman like LeBron James or have a special skill, it's tough to keep up once the age gets up there.

Luckily, Curry's special skill is perhaps the most potent in NBA history. His shooting isn't going to fade over the next few years — it probably won't ever leave him, to be honest. Curry might not be able to run around the court as much as he does now or in years past, but his conditioning has always been the best part of his athleticism, even at his veteran age. If you can shoot in the NBA, especially at the rate that Curry does, while keeping up with the pace of the game, then there will surely be a role that you can play every day.

Right now, Curry just has to focus on his upcoming 18th season before looking ahead to the 19th and 20th. Siegel also reported that Curry's knee will not have any effect, saying "Curry will have no limitations entering the 2026-27 season and that his knee injury this past year was simply a product of overuse and wear and tear."

Thus, it's go time once the season kicks off in October, and with some sort of new look likely for the team, it'll be exciting to see just how well Curry and the Warriors can bounce back.
