In a recent interview with CNBC’s Jessica Golden, Curry disclosed his long-term vision: becoming an NBA team owner. This goal isn’t just a passing thought; it’s a serious consideration for the two-time MVP, who has spent his career understanding the intricacies of basketball both on and off the court. With his wealth of knowledge and strategic thinking, Curry’s potential entry into NBA ownership could bring a fresh perspective to the league, blending his on-court experience with the challenges of running a successful franchise.

But Curry’s influence isn’t limited to post-retirement dreams. He has already made significant moves in the Warriors’ ongoing quest for NBA dominance. During the latest offseason, Curry took on an active role in the Warriors’ recruitment efforts, particularly in their attempt to sign nine-time NBA All-Star Paul George. The Warriors, guided by Curry’s input, engaged in advanced negotiations with the Los Angeles Clippers to orchestrate a sign-and-trade deal. Despite their best efforts, the Clippers rejected the terms, and George eventually signed a four-year, $212.5 million contract with the Philadelphia 76ers. This near-acquisition underscored the Warriors’ relentless pursuit of excellence and their willingness to make bold moves to secure top-tier talent.

The prospect of George joining the Warriors excited many, including George himself, who later reflected on how close he was to teaming up with Curry and Draymond Green. Describing the opportunity as “dope,” George acknowledged the allure of playing alongside such elite talent. However, the deal fell through, leaving fans to wonder what could have been as George chose to take his talents to Philadelphia.

Despite this setback, the Warriors’ determination remains unshaken. Owner Joe Lacob has made it clear that the team is committed to extending their championship window with Curry still at the helm. Lacob’s recent remarks highlight the ongoing efforts to strengthen the Warriors’ roster, emphasizing that the team will continue exploring every avenue to bring in the right players to maintain their competitive edge.

This commitment was further demonstrated in the Warriors’ pursuit of Lauri Markkanen from the Utah Jazz. Although the negotiations didn’t result in a trade, with the Jazz setting a high price for the forward, the Warriors’ willingness to engage in intense discussions shows their dedication to staying at the forefront of the NBA.

As Curry continues to build his legacy, both on and off the court, his influence in the NBA is set to grow even further. Whether it’s recruiting top talent or envisioning a future as a team owner, Curry’s story is a testament to dreaming big and pursuing those dreams with passion and determination. The Warriors, under his leadership, remain a force to be reckoned with, always pushing forward in their relentless pursuit of greatness.
