Stephen Curry recently spoke with Chris Alvarez of ABC7 News in the Bay Area. Of course, the conversation included a discussion about the two-time MVP's future with the Golden State Warriors.

"There's no secret I want to be here the rest of my career," Curry told Alvarez.
While their franchise star is on an expiring contract, he conveyed that a new deal will get done when the time is right.
Some Warriors fans probably weren't worried about him leaving. However, that sound you just heard from the rest of them was a collective exhale. Or, if you live on the East Coast, a disappointed groan from Boston Celtics fans may have hit your eardrums.
Celtics fans' Stephen Curry pipe dream just burst
While D'Angelo Russell would love to see his former teammate take his talents to Boston, that was never anything more than wishful thinking.
It may take until the Celtics reset the repeater tax at the end of this league year, but they're well-positioned to take a significant swing. Finding Jayson Tatum a new co-star may be necessary to return to the NBA summit.
Curry being on an expiring contract and Golden State looking like a team that will compete in the play-in tournament again fed the thought of him in green.
However, he has a chance to spend his entire career with one franchise. That's an incredibly rare feat in modern sports. But his comments make it clear that him playing for his hometown team, the Charlotte Hornets, or joining the pursuit of Banner 19 in Boston are unlikely. The only mystery left might be the nature of the contract that keeps him in the Bay.
Brian Windhorst and Tim McMahon say there is no negotiation with the warriors and Stephen Curry:

The Warriors' quiet offseason could ultimately help Stephen Curry
Forget setting off summer fireworks, Golden State barely lit any sparklers. The organization brought back former Celtics centers Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford. They also selected promising prospect Yaxel Lendeborg with the No. 12 pick in this year's NBA Draft.
However, they opted not to trade for Jaylen Brown. They also passed on potentially acquiring Anthony Davis. Either move could have landed them LeBron James.
That disciplined approach was by design. Even with a healthy Jimmy Butler, it will probably send them back to the play-in tournament. However, the Warriors have the young talent, namely Lendeborg, draft capital, and financial flexibility to take a major swing next offseason. They control their first-round picks for the foreseeable future.
Turning down the options that were available this summer and asking Curry to be patient isn't an approach this author is keen on. However, it could pay dividends. More importantly, it doesn't appear like it will cost them the most important player in franchise history.
