Steph Curry Trade News: Warriors coach Steve Kerr shares honest thoughts on possibility of 2x MVP leaving team 

Steve Kerr opened up on the possibility of Steph Curry requesting a trade to move on from the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday. With the team dropping to a game below .500 after a close loss to the nine-win Toronto Raptors on Monday, Curry's chances of a fifth title seem bleak in the Bay Area.

The two-time MVP, 36, has a limited window. Despite being aware of the situation, Curry has seemingly accepted the Warriors' plan to prioritize retaining their young assets and draft capital to keep the organization in a healthy spot once he retires. Several veteran players eyeing a championship usually wish to move elsewhere, but Curry may not take that route.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr shared his thoughts on Steph Curry's future on 95.7 The Game's Willard & Dibs show, saying:

"I don't think so. I think Steph loves the idea of being a Warrior for life. I think that's so meaningful for him. He has no intention (of leaving). That's what makes him unique and different. That's why he's not asking the organization to trade everything to go get him help."

Since winning the 2022 championship, the Warriors have believed that maintaining two timelines is the appropriate call to keep the team competitive in the long run as Steph Curry, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson entered their twilight. Thompson has left the team since joining the Mavericks this past summer.

Meanwhile, Curry and Green are under contract until 2027. If the plan for both the former Golden State champions is to retire as Warriors, their contract situation aligns with their potential plan.

Steph Curry not forcing Warriors to go all in

Steph Curry isn't forcing the Warriors to go all in on mortgaging their future to make a final title push with him at the helm. Curry said he wants the Warriors to think long-term. However, if there's a chance they can get better without lavishly spending their assets, he believes the Warriors should be willing to make such deals and not waste those chances.

"There’s a responsibility of keeping the franchise in a good space (long term) when it comes to when we leave this thing when we're done," Curry told reporters on Monday. "Doesn't mean that you're not trying to get better. Doesn't mean that you're not active in any type of search."

The Warriors began the season 12-3, seemingly looking like they had one of the deepest roster. However, several players have failed to remain consistent throughout the season. The Warriors are 19-20 now and potentially settling for another play-in tournament finish if they don't improve at the trade deadline.
