Episode notes
Why Curry May Delay His Extension
- Stephen Curry’s extension delay probably reflects timing and team dynamics, not uncertainty about staying.
- Tim Kawakami and Marcus Thompson expect him to sign before or shortly after camp, limiting distractions for Jimmy Butler’s return.
Curry’s Discount Would Not Solve Everything
- Curry taking slightly less would help only after Golden State clears substantial expiring salary.
- The hosts compare this flexibility with the maneuvering required before Kevin Durant’s signing, when the Warriors moved several contracts.
Podziemski’s Extension Has A Narrow Price Range
- Golden State may delay Brandin Podziemski’s extension because his projected cap hold already approaches $16 million.
- The hosts view four years around $80–86 million as reasonable, while noting his value could rise after another season.
