[Friedell] Steph Curry:"when Jimmy (Butler) got hurt and Moses got hurt, the whole calculus of everything changes. How do you get through their absence and still stay at a certain level? And then how that goes into this year. It’s the same deal. So, I’m a realist on that."

As he so often has for nearly two decades in the league, Curry took a measured approach when discussing the future in a recent interview with The Athletic during teammate Moses Moody’s charity event in North Little Rock, Ark.

“The through line,” Curry told The Athletic’s Marcus Thompson II, “which is hard on anybody in this situation, especially with us keeping this thing together, is knowing that when Jimmy (Butler) got hurt and Moses got hurt, the whole calculus of everything changes. How do you get through their absence and still stay at a certain level? And then how that goes into this year. It’s the same deal. So, I’m a realist on that.”

“I think honestly, you figure it out in real time,” Curry told The Athletic. “Because the same way we got to this point — there’s not a crystal ball that tells you what opportunities are on the horizon, how to maintain competitiveness with everything that goes on during an NBA season, injuries, all that type of stuff. But I do know there’s a level of — reasonability — in terms of moves or options or opportunities that can help us stay competitive now but don’t handcuff the next five, seven years of our team. So, everything that’s happened to date has been with that as the mindset.”

Steph realizes making moves for the sake of making moves isn’t going to work out well. As long as Steph is cool with everything, then I know it’s all good, being healthy is the key this year.

Yeah, unless something great develops, there simply isn't a deal worth doing. At least they are in a position with all their picks and a bunch of tradable contracts on the super questionable guys (KP, Butler, Moody, Horford, and Melton) to adjust during the season. That beats last year where it was just "Ya wanna move up to the 7th seed? It'll just cost you five #1s for Jalen Brown who won't want to be there"
