Warriors quiet offseason dooms Steph Currys glorious career to mediocre ending

Judge the two greatest NBA players of this generation by the way they spent their summers.LeBron James, after his fifth championship, left nothing to chance.The King methodically evaluated the league’s rosters, liked how the Sixers looked after adding Jalen Brown and signed a minuscule contract to secure a new, potentially final home for his throne.Steph Curry, also looking to join the exclusive five-ring club, has left everything to chance.

“We’re super aggressive.”Golden State missed out on Giannis, lost the LeBron sweepstakes and reportedly didn’t try for Brown.Many of the calls Dunleavy made were about players who ended up not being mo...
