Golden State general manager, Bob Myers also confirmed the deal on Friday, saying that the Warriors will finalize the contract once the free-agency moratorium ends Thursday.
‘An eight-year veteran, Curry has been the foundational star for the Warriors, who recently won their second NBA championship in three years.’
