Three weeks before Stephen Curry becomes eligible to extend his contract, Warriors GM Mike Dunleavy expressed confidence Curry will finish his career in Golden State. "That's always been the message... that's tracking quite well," Dunleavy said. Curry can sign a two-year, $136.7 million extension starting August 29. Sources remain optimistic about a deal.

The Warriors had a quiet offseason, missing on LeBron James and re-signing veterans. Injuries to Jimmy Butler and Moses Moody create attrition. Dunleavy acknowledged the team chose talent over availability. Curry missed 39 games last season due to a right knee issue. The team hopes he plays more but recognizes the risk.

Dunleavy said if Curry asked to be moved, they'd talk, but "that's not a thing we're looking at." He reiterated: "He really, really wants to win and he wants to finish his career as a Warrior. I don't think that changes." Both Curry and coach Steve Kerr have emphasized reestablishing culture over obsessing about a title.
