The recent NBA landscape was significantly altered when the Dallas Mavericks made the bold decision to trade their franchise star, Luka Doncic, in exchange for Anthony Davis. This transaction underscored the fact that no trade is too substantial if it addresses a team’s needs. The consequences of this major move are resonating throughout the league, prompting teams to reassess their lineups. Among those under scrutiny are the Golden State Warriors.
According to a report by Brian Windhorst of ESPN, as the February 6 trade deadline approaches, the Warriors regard only one player on their roster as untouchable: Stephen Curry.

The insights from Windhorst indicate that any other player on the roster could be subject to trade discussions if the right offer materializes. This came on the heels of Draymond Green’s comments suggesting that anything could happen as teams approach the deadline, particularly following Doncic’s surprising trade.
Curry, who signed a four-year, $215 million extension in 2022 and added a one-year extension thereafter, is secured with the franchise until the conclusion of the 2026-27 NBA season.
The Warriors superstar’s performance this season supports their confidence in him, as he is averaging 22.1 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 6.2 assists per game.
Steve Kerr Highlights His Dedication to Coaching Stephen Curry
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr has made it abundantly clear how much he cherishes Stephen Curry, both as a player and an individual. In a conversation with The Ringer, Kerr elaborated on the profound connection he has with Curry and his eagerness to continue coaching him for the foreseeable future.
“I would love nothing more than to coach Steph for the rest of his career because that’s what he means to me. If he told me, ‘I want you to coach me another year,’ as long as the Warriors agreed, I’m doing it. It’s automatic. I’m not even giving it a second thought,” Kerr shared.
Since Kerr took over as head coach of the Warriors in 2014, the pair has captured four NBA championships. For Kerr, coaching Curry transcends mere basketball; it’s about the trust and rapport they have cultivated over nearly a decade.
