Warriors fans got the best news they could hear in the offseason as Steph Curry announced that he was re-signing with the Golden State Warriors.

Curry signed the two-year extension, which kicks in next season, and took less money to remain with the only team he’s ever played for. This season will be Curry’s 18th year with the team.

Golden State has missed the playoffs in two of the last three years, but keeping Curry should give them a sense of urgency to keep the team competitive in an effort to bring at least one more championship to the Bay.

Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy agrees.

Speaking on Dubs Talk with NBC Sports Bay Area, Dunleavy stated simply that “the plan is to win” when asked about maximizing Curry’s final years.

The Warriors have star-chased in recent years, making efforts to land Paul George, Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonard, and LeBron James in recent seasons.

All efforts fell short, but they did acquire Jimmy Butler at the 2025 trade deadline.

The Warriors’ pursuit of stars shows that they are serious about winning, though their record over the past four seasons might tell fans otherwise. Having a commitment from Curry for the next two seasons, and a player option on the third season, will give them more comfort in making moves.

They aren’t one of the favorites this season, as they are running back a similar team that failed to make the playoffs last year and will be without Jimmy Butler and Moses Moody to start the year.

The addition of Yaxel Lendeborg should make them better, and if Brandin Podziemski or Will Richard can make a leap, they’ll be better than expected. The health of Kristaps Porzingis is looming large, as he’s effective when he plays but can’t stay on the court.

Curry’s willingness to take less money than the max and the Warriors being able to get off the current contracts of Butler and Draymond in the offseason will give them flexibility next year to bring in new pieces and potentially keep at least Draymond, who might be willing to take less money as well to remain with the only team he’s ever played for. Draymond opted out of his player option this offseason to give the team flexibility, but nothing worked out.

The plan for the Warriors is always to win, but their plan feels more concrete with Curry under contract.
