Stephen Curry: Anyone Who Think I'm OK Being On An Average Team Is Insane

Two days after indicating that he didn't want Mike Dunleavy and the Golden State Warriors to make a "desperate" move ahead of the trade deadline, Stephen Curry clarified that he is still eager to win. Curry's comments came after a narrow win by the Warriors at the Minnesota Timberwolves.

"Anyone who thinks I'm OK being on an average basketball team is insane," Curry said. "Take whatever I said, I still stand on it. But that doesn't mean we're not in a situation where we are trying to get better, make appropriate moves that help you do that. Mike knows that. We've talked about it. That's the expectation from me. It doesn't mean you're reckless. What people's definition of that is is what I was talking about with Twitter fingers. Trade machines are fun. But what does that actually look like? We're gonna handle our business. Mike is gonna handle his. We will see where we end up."

Steve Kerr also spoke to the sentiment he shares with Curry.

"I hope there's not a misconception that we are not fighting and scrapping and doing everything possible to keep this going," Kerr said. "It almost feels like the narrative became the Warriors are giving in. We are not giving in. We're just not gonna give away the future. Those are two totally different things. We're fighting."
