Stephen Curry lowers expectations for the Golden State Warriors this upcoming season.
As the organization fell short of acquiring superstars to play alongside its franchise star, the floor general mainly aims to stay healthy and rebuild, given how the Warriors do business.
“The success that we’ve had, we’re always going to be compared to championship level, as we should. That’s the way that we work. That’s the way we put everything together with how we run business with the Warriors,” Curry said, via CNBC Television
The 38-year-old superstar is aware of the reality of their current roster, but stayed optimistic about the rebuilding process in the next seasons.
“But I think building a new foundation of what this particular team needs to do to be successful… Obviously staying healthy. We have a veteran team coming back with some young guys that are ready to take a step in the right direction to be impactful here,” he added.
Despite striving to become a championship contender, the four-time champion said he missed many games last season, which he tries to avoid by staying healthy.
“Of course, we want to be in championship contention, but it’s kind of a fun opportunity for us to rebuild everything from scratch with the identity of what Warriors basketball is, but try to reimagine it… For me, I just want to be healthy. I missed 30-something games last year. My singular focus is just playing good basketball once we get started,” Curry explained.
Golden State won their previous championship in 2022, but also with the least expectations from the roster at that time.
Meanwhile, Gary Payton II sees similarities between the current situation and the circumstances surrounding the most recent championship.
