Early Predictions For Where Top 2017 NBA Free Agents Will Sign

2. Stephen Curry, PG, Golden State Warriors (Unrestricted)

Where he will sign: Golden State Warriors

It’s always interesting to imagine players like Stephen Curry jumping ship and taking on a new challenge. Heck, Durant did it only a year ago, so it’s not completely out of the question for a superstar to sign elsewhere during free agency.

However, in the instance of Curry, I just don’t see that happening. He broke out with the Golden State Warriors, has won two MVPs and one ring with the Warriors and appears completely happy with his situation. So why would he mess that up by spurning them during free agency?

The only situation I could see him entertaining the idea of leaving is he wins this year, and decides he needs a new challenge. He’s already asserted himself as one of the best in the game with all of the awards and a championship.

Although he was born in Ohio, Curry spent most of his life in North Carolina while his father was playing with the Charlotte Hornets. Maybe a trip back to Charlotte could be in his future?

Unless everyone bails this offseason (i.e. Durant, Andre Iguodala, Shaun Livingston), there’s no reason for Curry to leave. The Warriors can give him the most money and a terrific opportunity to keep winning rings. Don’t expect Curry to even listen to other offers when the time comes.
