Stephen Curry Waits as Warriors' LeBron James Pursuit Stalls Offseason
Stephen Curry's offseason has been put on hold as the Golden State Warriors prioritize signing LeBron James.
The Warriors' front office is reportedly targeting a trade for Anthony Davis to lure James to the Bay Area.
This move has left the Warriors shorthanded, with analyst Daryle 'Guru' Johnson saying Curry deserves better support.
The Warriors have re-signed De'Anthony Melton, Kristaps Porzingis, and Al Horford, but a true needle-moving signing is still lacking.
The front office is undecided on Jimmy Butler's torn ACL situation, with almost $57 million tied to salary next season.
Waiting for LeBron James has also meant making other sacrifices, including losing Pat Spencer to the Suns and potentially Quinten Post to the Memphis Grizzlies.
On Monday, ESPN's Anthony Slater reported that optimism about signing LeBron James has decreased, but the Warriors will keep a roster spot open.
If they fail to sign James and are unable to trade for Davis, it creates a huge problem for General Manager Mike Dunleavy Jr.
Draymond Green has declined his $27.7 million option and will return on a lower contract to free up more funds for the eventual Big 4.
The Warriors are hoping to get LeBron James, but teams like the Cavaliers, Wolves, and Heat remain in contention to land the 22x All-Star.
The clock is ticking, with the Warriors having until 11:59 p.m. ET on Tuesday to decide whether to match the Memphis Grizzlies' offer sheet for Quinten Post.
And the Warriors' fans are left wondering what the future holds for Stephen Curry and the team.
But one thing is certain - Curry deserves better support, and the Warriors need to make some moves to ensure his success.
So the question remains, what will the Warriors do next?
The answer will have to wait, as the Warriors continue to pursue LeBron James and try to build a strong team around Stephen Curry.
