Eliminated by the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2023 Western Conference Semifinals, Golden State then failed to make the playoffs in 2024 when it was eliminated in the Play-In Tournament. Now 21-21 and 11th in the Western Conference standings, the Warriors look far from a title contender.

Warriors head coach Steve Kerr rejected a potential Stephen Curry trade demand. Kerr can’t imagine Curry ever wanting out, per 95.7 The Game. “No way,” Kerr said. “I don’t think so. I just think Steph loves the Warriors. He loves the idea of being a Warrior for life. I think that’s so meaningful for him. That’s what makes him unique and different.”
