your jealousy is very amusing

how much is curry making off endorsement deals?
Yeah, I don't really understand your beef with Curry for not being a baby about his contract. He's making bank with his Under Armor deal, is playing on an all-time great team, is an MVP and champion, and will get massively paid when his current deal is up. Bogut and Iggy's contract will be up by then, they will likely have a mid-level exception, and they can resign Curry with going way above the cap since they have his rights.

I don't see Durant to the Heat happening. Maybe it wouldn't matter at all but I really don't think he'd want to "follow" LeBron by coming to Miami as a free agent.

They would need to get someone else too. I doubt he would want to go to a team filled with guys on the back 9 of their careers.

So curry is just supposed to be happy with being paid like Marcus Thornton or something based on his third place shoe brand deal? My point is eventually he is going to be expected to be paid like what he is which is the best player in the NBA. If he's cool with making shit pay relative to his production I guess I just don't get it.

What would he accomplish by complaining about it right now? He's locked into the contract. They can't cancel and do a new one. He will get paid when it runs out, both Curry and the Warriors know it.

I'm not saying he should complain now I'm saying if he takes a good guy discount on his next deal to play with 5 other all stars plus durant or whatever that's crap. He's the best player in the league and should require appropriate compensation.

What makes you think he will take a discount on his next deal?

Everyone seems to think the warriors are going to be able to keep everyone and sign every top free agent. I guess he'll have to right?
