Stephen Curry is about to enter the NBA free agency this summer and he has been asked over and over about the same question. Would Curry leave the Warriors if he didn't get the salary he deserved?

According to the CBSN, Golden State Warriors' star point guard Stephen Curry mentioned in his statement that there is no reason for him to leave the Warriors. This means that Curry will still be a member of the Warriors in the couple of years.

Stephen Curry also said that he is okay being the fourth highest paid player in their team. Curry signed with the Warriors back in 2012 for an extension that gave him $44 million over four years.

Next season, Curry will be entering the NBA free agency and is eligible to earn more than $200 million for a five-year deal. This number would be more than triple of his annual salary and would be the largest NBA contract that a player would sign.

Warriors are packed with players with more than $10 million and 1 player with more than $25 million salary which is Kevin Durant. As the NBA salary cap large inflation every and having the bird right to Stephen Curry, there is no doubt that the Warriors would provide such large sum of dollars for a star like the Babyface Assassin.

In an interview with the Fox Sports, Curry mentioned that his father told him if he is complaining with the $44 million, he might have an issue in his life. For his father, money is just a bonus that an NBA star would get, the primary benefit of being a star player is the trust of the fans and his achievement being an athlete.

Stephen Curry has been the player that nobody expects. Curry was named as the most dangerous shooter in the current NBA era. No player has been consistent as Stephen Curry from the 3-point line, with the fact that shooting from 27 to 30 feet is as easy as shooting in a free-throw line.

Needless to say, Stephen Curry will still wear a blue and yellow jersey and will continue to play as a home play in the Oracle Arena. Being a star player in a star studded team would be a rare part in every NBA player's career.
