GM Bob Myers Reiterates Warriors' Stance on Signing Steph Curry Long Term

DANVILLE -- Everything the Warriors have said and done, as well as everything Stephen Curry has said, indicates there is no chance of a divorce, even though Curry becomes an unrestricted free agent at 12:01 a.m. Saturday morning.

Curry has pointed out numerous times that he plans to sign with the Warriors, implying that it would be pointless for other teams to pursue him on the open market.

And on Wednesday afternoon, Warriors president and general manager Bob Myers reiterated the team's stance regarding the two-time MVP by expressing Curry would be a top priority.

"He's got to be," Myers said at Monte Vista High School, where he and Warriors forward Draymond Green was subjects of a news conference/pep rally in the wake of Myers being named Executive of the Year and Green being named Defensive Player of the Year.

Myers was careful not to slight other players the Warriors expect to re-sign, such as Kevin Durant, and those the team hopes to retain, notably Andre Iguodala and Shaun Livingston.

"Actually, we've got a lot of priorities," Myers said. "But, certainly, touching all of them and making sure we do our job and make sure they know we want them is important," Myers said. "But he knows how we feel. I think he's happy. But he's a huge priority."

The Warriors are allowed to pay Curry about $200 million over the next five seasons, and CEO Joe Lacob has said he's ready to do whatever it takes.
