Curry Urges Patience Amid Warriors' Struggles

Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry has expressed his desire for the team to avoid making desperate trades that could jeopardize the franchise's future as they approach the trade deadline. Following a 104-101 loss to the Toronto Raptors, which marked their 17th defeat in 24 games, Curry emphasized the importance of maintaining a balanced approach rather than making rash decisions in response to their struggles. He stated, 'Desperate trades or desperate moves that deplete the future' could harm the franchise, urging the team to focus on long-term stability. Despite the team’s poor performance, Curry believes in continuing to seek improvements without sacrificing valuable assets like young players or draft picks. He reiterated this sentiment in alignment with the views of general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. and head coach Steve Kerr, who advocate for a careful assessment of the roster before making any moves. The Warriors, currently under .500 and positioned poorly in the Western Conference, are reportedly no longer pursuing Jimmy Butler but have shifted their attention to Nikola Vucevic.
