    I don't believe he has an option, even though the article implied he did. BBREF, Basketball Insiders, Hoopshype, & Spotrac all say it's a one year deal with no option.

    I can think of A LOT of teams that need shooting, seems like the kind of guy who gets overpaid to me.

    Despite initial reports of a player option, I still can't find anything confirming that he actually has a one. Most contract sites have him as an unrestricted free agent.

    well, they have 112M guaranteed for 9 players. 116M if they pick up the option for Glenn Robinson who was pretty crappy this year; so maybe a doubtful option. The two free agents they may, or may not want to keep are Ish Smith and Wayne Ellington. What's weird is them targeting Curry if they were going to re-sign Ellington. Smith was their "starting" PG for 56 games so he'd probably be brought back but he won't be getting any good contract offers.

    say they cut Ellington and Robinson, & re-sign Smith for 7M. They'd be 19M under the apron. Their first round pick would put them 17M under and they'd be at 11 players. Pick up the option for Mykhailiuk and they'd be 15.5M under with 12 players. Curry would put them at 13 players. A vet minimum would put them at 14 players leaving 13M under the apron and then it would be what they gave Curry

    so they could use their full-MLE and have a safe margin under the apron. But you're right...why the hell do all that for Curry? Detroit appears to be firmly locked onto a treadmill, and Curry isn't getting them off

    The Athletic and their garbage reporter Jason Quick can suck my wad.
    This is exactly why no player on the team wants to talk to the fucking idiot. This dude Edwards ain't no better and he is playing a page right out of Quicks book.
    Why on earth would you post a story about trades and player movement right before quite possibly the players biggest game of his career.
    Seriously.... Curry might be the very missing piece this team need to play well tonight.

    Fucking dickweeds going after clicks because they are worried their chance to get them might go away after this game.

    Curry would be a good fit next to those bigs.

    I can see them going after Jrue Holiday this summer for Lueur, Galloway, filler, and picks.

    A Curry/Holiday backcourt conpliments each other perfectly, and Jackson as the 6th man would be the perfect role for him. Thatd be the start of something.

    I think they'll go after Conley, Holiday, or Beal this summer. Picks, Kennard, and expirings is a decent start.
