Despite their short time together, Russell has long acknowledged Curry\u2019s legacy as one of the greatest players to ever play the game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Russell appeared on a new episode of his Backyard Podcast on Sunday, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=29Dcn2p0FwM&amp;t=449s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">discussing destinations for potential free agents<\/a>. Curry is one of the players he looked into, entertaining the idea of the veteran superstar going to the Celtics.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI would love to see Stephen Curry go to Boston. Yeah, I would love to see that. I just think he needs that type of help around him now. Who\u2019s taking the load off him in Golden State? The rookie? Healthy Jimmy (Butler)?\u201d said Russell at the 7:30 mark, who was traded to the\u00a0Memphis Grizzlies\u00a0in July.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think you have a veteran team that\u2019s going to know how to win the last three minutes of a game. They\u2019re going to know how to win. Just getting to the last three minutes is where they\u2019re going to struggle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What Lies Ahead for Stephen Curry amid NBA Future<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stephen Curry has four titles to his name with the Warriors, cementing a legacy with the franchise. However, his desire to compete for one more championship might require him or Golden State to make a tough move in the near future.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Curry continues to flourish with star performances at age 38. He took part in 43 games last season, averaging 26.6 points, 4.7 assists and 3.6 rebounds per game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Warriors ended the 2025-26 campaign with a 37-45 record, sitting at 10th place in the Western Conference standings. Their season ended in the play-in tournament, beating the Los Angeles Clippers before losing to the Phoenix Suns.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Golden State will need all the help it can get ahead of next season. If they want to make a deep playoff run, they will need young players to step up in the rotation throughout the ups and downs of the campaign.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2014\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebiglead.com\/subscribe\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Enjoy free coverage of the top news &amp; trending stories with The Big Lead Newsletter\u00a0<\/a>\u2014<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"D\u2019Angelo Russell went viral for his comments about wanting to see Stephen Curry in a different uniform that&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":850604,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[557],"tags":[64,63,1664,23896,5552,590,85,7903],"class_list":["post-850603","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nba","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-boston-celtics","tag-dangelo-russell","tag-golden-state-warriors","tag-nba","tag-sports","tag-stephen-curry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/850603","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=850603"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/850603\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/850604"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=850603"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=850603"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=850603"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
