Steph Curry told the Warriors' critics to "shut up" after tinkering with trade machines on X (formerly Twitter) to form packages that help the team ahead of the deadline. The buzz around the Warriors regarding trades has only grown each day ahead of the deadline. It amplified after the team hit a new low on Monday after losing to the nine-win Toronto Raptors and falling to a game below .500.
However, the Warriors bounced back emphatically in a close one-point win in Wednesday's clash against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Curry ensured he didn't miss the opportunity to take a brutal dig at trade experts on Twitter, saying:
“All the twitter fingers who got deals we need to make can kind of shut up a little bit and let us figure this thing out.”

Curry feels the team can be competitive as constructed. He downplayed the team's struggles this season, saying it's a unique year after several years of 'greatness,' so the Warriors, like every other team, just need some time to find their groove.
The Warriors started 12-3 with the same core but haven't been able to sustain that. That run suggests there is reason to believe this roster could make some noise when they hit their strides. That's what Curry seems to bank on, and he is confident that they can beat anyone if they find their way through the playoffs.
Steph Curry puts the Warriors on his back after sending fans into a frenzy with an unexpected admission
Steph Curry created a buzz after Monday's loss to the Toronto Raptors because of an expected admission. Amid the Warriors' glaring need for reinforcements at the trade deadline, especially in the form of a bonafide All-Star, Curry said he's not keen on the Dubs mortgaging their future to help him and Draymond Green have one final shot at a championship.
Curry believes it's their responsibility to keep the franchise in a safe spot for the future, even if it means fighting with what they have over trading young assets and draft capital to acquire immediate help. He did say the Warriors must maximize a fair deal if one comes their way, but other than that, Curry seemed to have accepted the team's fate.
That sent fans into a frenzy, feeling that Steph Curry and Co. had given up on a title push. However, the two-time MVP responded on the court on Wednesday with an impeccable 31-point game against the Timberwolves. Curry shot 7 of 12 from 3 and added eight assists to lead the Warriors to a 116-115 win, putting them at .500 again (20-20).
The Warriors played much better, especially on defense, to get the job done. Their attention to detail and intensity seemed different than what it had looked like amid their slump.
