In the aftermath of the Golden State Warriors’ thrilling 116-115 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday night, Stephen Curry had a pointed message for NBA Twitter.
The two-time MVP, who led the Warriors with 31 points and 8 assists, addressed the constant trade rumors and fan suggestions that have been circulating about the team.
“All the Twitter fingers who got deals we need to make can kind of shut up a little bit and let us figure this thing out,” Curry said in a postgame interview. “We know we can be competitive, we showed that toughness tonight. Obviously, every team is trying to find ways to get better. For us, you know, we’ve been great for a long time. This is just a unique year where we have to be able to stay relevant to give ourselves a chance.”

Curry’s comments came in response to the growing frustration among fans who believe the Warriors need to make significant moves to remain competitive in the loaded Western Conference. Despite starting the season strong with a 12-3 record, Golden State has since fallen to 10th place in the standings, leading to increased speculation about potential trades.
The Warriors’ recent struggles have been a stark contrast to their championship-winning years, and Curry acknowledged the challenges the team is facing.
“We have a whole lot of confidence that we can beat anybody,” he continued. “Trade machines are fun, but what does that actually look like? We’re gonna handle our business. Mike [Dunleavy] is gonna handle his. We will see where we end up.”
