The Warriors are the only team in the NBA who haven’t made an offseason move leading up to the 82-game slate in 2025-26. But Golden State superstar guard Steph Curry isn’t worried.
At his Curry Camp on Thursday, the 11-time NBA All-Star detailed to reporters where his confidence in the Warriors comes from, particularly before training camp starts in late September.
“It’s different, for sure,” Curry prefaced about Golden State’s move-less offseason. “But … my confidence is built on the identity that we were able to create over the last third of the regular season last year (and) the playoff journey. We have a really good team, and we do know we need some pieces to help get us to the next level.
“I think the veteran presence that we have — with me, Jimmy [Butler], Draymond [Green] – like, we understand how to prepare through that uncertainty and be able to hit the ground running in training camp, knowing we should have some movement by then.”
Curry, a four-time NBA champion and 17-year veteran with his Warriors, isn’t writing off the campaign before it even starts. And unlike those fairly critical of Golden State’s current makeup, Curry is choosing to remember just how good the Warriors were after acquiring Butler right before the 2025 NBA trade deadline — they had a 23-7 regular-season record with Butler on the floor.
Curry also lightly mentioned the Warriors’ promising playoff run, which was cut short after he suffered a Grade 1 hamstring strain that kept him out of the devastating second-round series loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Whether it’s the acquisition of veteran center Al Horford, the trading of up-and-coming forward Jonathan Kuminga or something else up Golden State’s sleeve, Curry isn’t losing any sleep over the Warriors’ current roster.
After all, he isn’t the one making decisions.
“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.”
