The 2024 offseason saw the official end of the "Splash Brothers" era in Golden State. Klay Thompson joined the Dallas Mavericks on a three-year, $50 million deal, leaving behind Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and the only organization he's ever known.

While the Warriors ultimately elected to not bring one-half of the Splash Brothers back in Thompson, Golden State general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. made his intentions known on the other half of the duo while speaking to reporters on Friday.
When asked about Stephen Curry, who is extension-eligible this offseason, Dunleavy made it clear the team will do whatever it takes to keep Curry in Golden State.
"That guy, whatever he wants," Dunleavy said in regards to a potential contract extension for Curry. "Pretty confident he will be a Warrior for life."
Curry spoke with Yahoo Sports earlier this week as he prepares for the Olympics with Team USA. When asked about his own status following the departure of Thompson, he echoed a similar sentiment to that of Dunleavy.

"I mean, I can clearly say I want to be a Warrior for life," Curry said. "It's always been my goal, and I'm saying that sitting in this chair right now, but like you said, life, and especially life in the NBA, it is a wild environment, and things change quickly."
It appears both sides want to get a deal done, which is great news for Warriors fans. Since being selected with the No. 7 overall pick in the 2010 NBA Draft, Curry has developed into not only one of the greatest Warriors of all time but one of the greatest players in NBA history.
Curry is a 10-time All-Star, 10-time All-NBA Teamer, two-time MVP, four-time NBA champion, and a member of the 75th Anniversary Team as one of the 75 best players in NBA history. He's made more 3-pointers than anyone in league history and has almost single-handedly changed the way the game is played.
Curry, now 36, will retire as one of the best to ever play basketball. But before that, he'll look to win his elusive fifth NBA championship with the Warriors.
The Warriors missed the postseason this past season after losing in the Play-In Tournament to the Sacramento Kings. Since moving off of Thompson, the Warriors have made multiple depth additions, including De'Anthony Melton, Kyle Anderson, and Buddy Hield.
