The Golden State Warriors are the only team in the NBA who have yet to add or resign a player in the 2025 offseason, but their lack of moves isn’t a worry for superstar Steph Curry.
Speaking at his annual summer camp, the four-time champion commented on the Warriors’ quiet summer, highlighted by Jonathan Kuminga’s contract standstill with the team.
“My confidence has been built on the identity we were able to create over the last third of the regular season last year. You know, the playoff journey,” Curry said. “We have a really good team, and we do know we need some pieces to help take us to the next level.”
Golden State lost Kevon Looney in free agency to the New Orleans Pelicans this summer. They also lost Gary Payton II, but he, alongside Al Horford, can sign with the team once their Kuminga situation is sorted out.
Curry Is Confident
Though Curry spoke positively about the Warriors, their lack of offseason moves comes as a surprise for a team predicted to be one of the league’s busiest this summer. Their last roster change came at the 2025 NBA trade deadline, acquiring Jimmy Butler for a package that sent Andrew Wiggins to the Miami Heat.
They had a 23-7 record with Butler in the lineup, but lost in the playoffs to the Minnesota Timberwolves after Curry suffered a hamstring strain in Game 1 of the second-round series.
Regardless of their finish last season, as well as the questions surrounding Kuminga, Curry remains confident in him, Butler, and Draymond Green leading the team.
“I think the veteran presence that we have — me, Jimmy, Draymond — we understand how to prepare through that uncertainty and be able to hit the ground running at training camp, knowing you should have some movement by then,” Curry added.
The 2022 Finals MVP also said, despite the offseason rumors, he is focused on controlling only what he can control.
“But, you control what you can control,” Curry said. “And no matter how many new experiences you have or whatever the difference is from this offseason to the previous ones, you don’t let it affect your own personal preparation for the season and then the conversations that we’re having on what we need to do to get ready.”
The 3-Point Leader’s Future With the Warriors
While Curry’s comments share little worry about his faith in the team next season, questions have arisen about his future in the NBA. All expectations point to him finishing his career with the Golden State Warriors, but it remains unknown as to when his retirement will come.
Speaking with Complex earlier in the summer, Curry said rehabbing from injury and preparing for the upcoming season are always the most difficult parts about playing in his late 30s.
“The offseasons for me are the hardest,” Curry said. “Once you get into the 82 games, it’s repetition, it’s ‘you know what you need to do’…. The games are the most fun. If you get hurt in the middle of the season when you’re walking off the court and know something’s wrong with you, that’s the worst feeling in the world. All you’re thinking about is the rehab process.”
Curry is currently the ninth-oldest player in the NBA. While his play style is a good sign of his ability to continue as a face of the league, his recent injuries have cast come doubt on his future.
“Rehab is scary, and you don’t want to do it,” Curry said. “So if I can get through offseasons, I feel like that’s the marker as to how long I can push it.”
The Warriors’ summer has been highlighted by Kuminga, and their lack of offseason moves as a result of his contract dispute. Despite some worries about their future, Curry remains confident that he and his veteran teammates can make a strong push for the franchise’s fifth title since 2015.
