Owner Real Deal Posted October 31, 2012 Owner Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 The Warriors and point guard Stephen Curry have agreed to a four-year, $44 million contract extension, according to a team source. Curry is expected to sign the $11 million-per-year contract on Wednesday before the Warriors play Phoenix in the season opener. Wednesday at 9 p.m. was the deadline for the Warriors to extend Curry’s rookie contract. Curry had said he wanted the situation settled before to avoid distracting him from the season opener. The source said Curry is excited about the contract because it gives him the three things he wanted: to stay with the Warriors, security, and a “reasonable” salary. His deal doesn’t include any bonuses or incentives. Curry has said all along he wanted to stay with the Warriors. In exchange Golden State got Curry, who has been hampered with ankle issues the last two seasons, at a discount price. (Tuesday, Denver’s Ty Lawson signed for four years, $48 million. Without the ankle issues, Curry likely would have gotten at least that amount).http://www.ibabuzz.com/warriors/2012/10/31/warriors-stephen-curry-agree-to-4-year-44-million-extension Well, that's still a decent amount, years and money-wise, for someone who seems to be hobbled every year by chronic ankle problems.

AboveLegit Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 That's a pretty safe investment, and provided he gets healthy, it could be a steal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChosenOne Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 That's a pretty safe investment, and provided he gets healthy, it could be a steal. My thought exactly. Good move by both sides, more so for Golden State. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sħãlïq™ Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Reminds me of when EJ (Eric Gordon) signed a max offer sheet and only played nine games last year... I just hope Steph will be healthy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
