When Will Stephen Curry Become a Free Agent?
The Golden State Warriors are a team that has had a very bumpy road this season. They are standing tenth in the Western Conference with a 23-24 record. However, this is still much better than what everyone expected of them in the absence of Klay Thompson. It was speculated that they would end up at the bottom of the conference just like last season. However, thanks to Stephen Curry, they were able to prove the critics wrong.
But it looks like the Warriors will have to face another challenge very soon. And it might be even tougher than struggling to get to the playoffs. One might be wondering what could be more taxing than that? Well, making sure that Stephen Curry doesn’t slip away.
Stephen Curry is about to hit the free agency market
Most people think that Curry will be playing for the Golden State Warriors for a long, long time. One of the greatest shooters in NBA history has achieved the most success with them and likewise. His entry into the Dubs changed the fate of the franchise forever. It is safe to say that there might not be a Warriors’ dynasty to look back at if it weren’t for him.
Unfortunately, Curry’s current contract will expire after the 2021-22 season and he will be entering unrestricted free agency. The two parties had an opportunity to draft an extension last offseason, but they did not agree with the terms.
While most fans and colleagues are not worried about Steph leaving, the recent All-Star game has put things into a perspective nobody had thought of before.

Although the most likely scenario is that Steph will not leave the Warriors, unexpected exits are the league’s specialty. However, Curry will have to tread lightly before he makes any decision. Abandoning a team that relies on you is never taken well by anyone. What do you think Curry will do?
