Curry considers discount contract for more glory

-

STEPHEN Curry is likely to go from being the NBA’s biggest bargain to signing the richest contract in the league at more than $200 million.

But, like two-time reigning MVP and new NBA finals MVP Kevin Durant, they will consider taking less money to keep the core of the champion Golden State Warriors intact.

“It would mean everything. What we’ve built here is truly special, it’s unique, it’s something that you don’t want to see end at all,” Curry said.

“All the pieces that we have are important to the equation of winning a championsh­ip and competing for a championsh­ip every single year.

“I will approach it (talks) to get the most out of it I can as an individual, as a player, and something that I’ve been working for for a very long time. In the context of keeping the team together, if there are decisions that need to be made, we’ll talk about it for sure.”

Durant hinted he would opt out of a deal that pays him the maximum he can get in order to help the chances of keeping players such as Andre Iguodala or Shaun Livingston.
