Jason Smith: “The question is no longer ‘who is going to come play in Golden State?’, the biggest question is at what point does Steph Curry think he might have to go somewhere else if he wants to win another championship? You think he’s the ‘Forever Warrior’ and he’s going to stay with his team until the end, but in the NBA EVERYBODY leaves at some point. At some point, and it might be after this season, he’s gotta go ‘maybe I need to go somewhere else.’ Nobody else is coming there because he’s over 30, and now he’s gotta be the guy who goes to team up somewhere. Maybe Steph Curry goes to form another Super Team somewhere else. I would put my money more on him leaving than them getting another star. Is he just going to sit there and put up empty stats for 5, 6, 7 years? He’s not that kind of guy, he wants to win. He wants to be a Finals MVP at some point, and say that he doesn’t need Kevin Durant. Suddenly now his championships are at 5 and 6. I wonder the chances of that happening, and I say they’re PRETTY GOOD. I would say ‘70%’ that at some point Steph would leave and go play somewhere else to play out the end of his prime like LeBron did with the Lakers… You think it’s not going to happen, but it WILL happen.” (Full Audio Above)
Listen to Jason Smith explain why he thinks there’s a really good chance that Steph Curry leaves the Warriors in the next 1-2 years to go team up with another one or two superstars to chase rings in the final few seasons of the prime of his career.
Curry is 32 years old, and the 20/21' Warriors’ season isn’t looking too formidable in the wake of 5-time All Star Klay Thompson’s season-ending Achilles tear.
Check out the audio above as Jason details why he can't picture Curry ending his career with 5 or 6 years of ‘empty stats’ and fading away into the ether, and why he believes he’s too old to get players to come join him, so rather would need to jump around somewhere else to be in position to win more rings.
