Siegel reports Golden State plans to offer Curry a two-year, $136.7 million deal and let him choose the structure. Separately, former Warriors guard D'Angelo Russell said on his podcast that he would rather see Curry finish his career with the Boston Celtics, citing a lack of support around him in Golden State. The two takes frame very different pictures of where Curry's future stands.Insider reveals big update on Stephen Curry trade rumor situationThe Stephen Curry trade rumor making the rounds this offseason has no basis, according to ClutchPoints insider Brett Siegel. Curry has stayed with the Warriors since he arrived in 2009, and speculation about his future picked up after Golden State missed on top targets including Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jaylen Brown and LeBron James this summer.Siegel shut that talk down on the Clutch Scoops podcast, saying there is zero truth to rumors that Curry could request a trade from Golden State. He added that the belief inside the organization is unequivoca, "The biggest part of everything, because there's just rumors going out of nowhere, Tomer, about, 'Oh, Steph Curry's going to be traded, he's going to request a trade,' None of that is true," Siegel said, citing what he described as extremely good authority from within the Warriors that Curry intends to stay for the rest of his career.Siegel added, "Steph Curry is not going to be requesting a trade. We have that on extremely good authority from the Warriors that Steph Curry is staying there; he wants to remain there his entire career, and this extension is basically going to lock him in for that."That framing matters because Curry has never publicly pushed for a move, even during the franchise's rebuilding stretch two seasons ago. The front office's recent swings at star talent were about building around him, not preparing for his exit.Will Stephen Curry sign extension with the Warriors?Curry becomes extension eligible on August 29, and Golden State can put a two-year, $136.7 million deal in front of him. Siegel said the Warriors intend to hand Curry an open-ended offer rather than dictate terms, letting him pick between a shorter deal, the full two years, the max number or even a discount.Per Siegel, the two sides already share mutual interest in finishing an extension this offseason, and he expects Curry to sign, possibly in September, likely landing on a two-year deal with some level of discount rather than walking away from the table entirely.The approach reflects how central Curry remains to the franchise's identity. Golden State has built its roster, coaching staff and long-term plans around him for over a decade, and nothing about this offseason's shopping suggests that is changing.D'Angelo Russell wants Stephen Curry to leave the WarriorsNot everyone close to the situation agrees Curry should stay put. D'Angelo Russell, who spent two stints with Golden State, said on his own Backyard Podcast that he would like to see Curry finish his career elsewhere, specifically in Boston. "I would love to see Steph Curry go to Boston," Russell said.Russell's reasoning centers on the supporting cast around Curry rather than fit. He questioned who takes pressure off Curry late in games given Golden State's current roster, pointing to uncertainty around Jimmy Butler's health and a young rotation still finding its footing. He argued the Warriors can close out games once they get to crunch time, but doubted their ability to consistently reach that point.Russell went on to picture Curry alongside Jayson Tatum and Paul George in Boston, calling the pairing something he would want to watch. He also noted Curry has spent his entire NBA career inside one system, aside from Team USA duty, and said seeing him adapt somewhere else would be worth watching in its own right.Whether that scenario ever becomes real is a separate question. For now, the extension talks point toward Curry staying exactly where he has always been.
