With the Golden State Warriors winning the NBA title and dethroning the Cleveland Cavaliers, the focus has shifting towards the offseason where the organization has a few major decisions to make in free agency.
One of which is All-Star point guard Stephen Curry, who is set to become an unrestricted free agent. In light of that, Warriors owner Joe Lacob has already voiced a strong desire to re-sign the reigning two-time league MVP to potentially a max deal.
Curry has become a huge part of the Warriors' success over the last few seasons as the primary conductor of their explosive offense. In the last four years, he helped lead the team to two NBA championships, earned four All-Star Game selections, a pair of regular-season MVP awards, two All-NBA First Team nods, and two All-NBA Second Team selections.
Although Kevin Durant was the clear-cut MVP of this year's NBA Finals, Curry was just nearly just as invaluable averaging 26.8 points, 9.4 assists, and 8.0 rebounds. He also recorded a double-double in each contest including his first career triple-double in the playoffs.
The 29-year-old is eligible to receive a max contract offer of five years worth $207 million due to the new CBA agreement. His play on the court has certainly put him in the bracket to earn that type of massive contract because of what he has accomplished over the last few seasons.
If Durant is indeed willing to take less than a max deal as reported last week, then Curry could be in line for a huge payday over the summer.
