The Deal Stephen Curry just locked in a $215M extension—keeping him in Golden State through 2028. At 38 years old, he’ll be collecting $53M+ in his final season. The Warriors are betting big on legacy over logic.
The Numbers
<ul>
<li>$215M/3 years (2026-2028)</li>
<li>$53.8M in 2028-29 (age 40 season)</li>
<li>$62.6M luxury tax hit next year alone (per @BobbyMarks42)</li>
</ul>
Big Mike’s Take &quot;Look, I love Chef Curry—dude’s a walking highlight reel. But this ain’t about basketball anymore. It’s about brand value. The Warriors are selling nostalgia, not championships. The real question: Can he stay healthy? If he drops 20+ at 39, it’s a steal. If he’s riding the pine? That tax bill’s gonna haunt them.
The Sharp Angle
<ul>
<li>Upside: Curry’s off-court empire (Under Armour, investments) makes him a net positive even if he’s limited.</li>
<li>Downside: Golden State’s already paying $500M+ in tax over the next 3 years. Another injury-prone season? That’s a $100M mistake.</li>
</ul>
Verdict: 6/10—Too rich for my blood, but I get the play. The Warriors aren’t building a contender; they’re selling Curry jerseys. And business? Business is booming.
