原来 Stephen Curry 差一点签不了五年 2 亿美元新合约

还有印象的会记得七月首日，NBA 便带来多个惊人消息，Golden State Warriors 宣布和 Stephen Curry 达成新合约，并将以 5 年期 2.01 亿美元的金额签署，当时 Stephen Curry 摇身一跃成为签署 NBA 联盟历史上最高身价合同的人。虽然很快便已经被 Russell Westbrook 与 Oklahoma City Thunder 的五年 2.05 亿美元超越，但依然是值得留意的重磅交易。但根据 The Athketic 最近的一份报告指，原来 Stephen Curry 本来是差一点签不了这份合同，因为 Warrios 的班主 Joe Lacob 不希望 Curry 以最大合同留队，但球队总经理却持反见。

“On top of that, as the Warriors prepared for the postseason, Warriors owner Joe Lacob was considering offering Curry a contract below the max, even though Curry has been one of the most underpaid players in all of sports over the last three seasons. Warriors general manager Bob Myers kept Lacob from bringing a reduced offer to the negotiating table, but it was enough of a thing that Myers reassured Curry of the franchise’s commitment.

Curry knew there were mumblings of possibly asking him to take less than the max. He brushed it off as a meaningless until it was actually time to sign.”

最终同队的 Kevin Durant 愿意减薪留队，无形间帮助了 Golden State Warriors 能够和 Stephen Curry 达成这项交易，而是否实至名归，相信往后大家便可以看得到。
