OAKLAND – Stephen Curry, back-to-back MVP and reigning NBA scoring champ, will be a free agent in July and so will Andre Iguodala, the 2015 NBA Finals MVP.
Another charter member of the Warriors’ championship core, Shaun Livingston, also will be on the market.
“There’s always going to be speculation and it’s easy to start looking ahead,” Livingston told CSNBayArea.com on Tuesday. “But that never does the player any good.”
Iguodala and Livingston love being Warriors, but it’s likely at least one of them may be sacrificed next summer for Patrick McCaw, who cracked the rotation as a rookie and in many ways is a composite of the two veterans.
Iguodala doesn’t hide from the fact that thoughts of the future will creep into his mind, and neither does Livingston, who is in the final year of a three-year deal worth $16.6 million.
“It’s human nature; we all want to get paid,” Livingston said. “We all want to perform well, to get numbers.

"But basketball sometimes in this league can get tricky,” he added. “You start worrying about that stuff, and you end up hurting yourself in the long run. But if you stay with it, stay on course, you may not have the same numbers but the team wins and you get paid more.”
