Stephen Curry Open to Warriors Pay Cut

Stephen Curry told ESPN’s Anthony Slater he’s open to taking less than a max contract if it gives the Warriors more room to build a contender. Curry is set to make $62.6 million in 2026-27, and Golden State has offered options ranging from a max deal to smaller pay cuts. He hasn’t made a decision heading into preseason practice next week. Curry said winning is the priority as he weighs the deal. He averaged 26.6 points in 43 games last season, and the Warriors could have more than $100 million in cap space next summer, per Spotrac. Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis, Karl-Anthony Towns and Kyrie Irving could be in the 2027 free-agent class.
