The Golden State Warriors made major offseason moves despite complicated negotiations throughout the summer.
Optimism surrounds the franchise heading into the upcoming season, adding more than rosters like stretch big al-Horford and two-way guard De Antony Melton.
Stephen Curry reportedly improved his distribution to enhance his chemistry with Jimmy Butler.
The superstar also revealed that Jonathan Cuminga was committed to the team if he returned despite complications from the contract stalemate.
These developments spread optimism throughout the organization, particularly after Moses Moody shared insights into Curry’s pre-season scrimmage routine that demonstrates his championship mentality.
“I really like what he does when we scrimmage up and down, especially in the preseason. He’s not sitting. Often, everyone else gets abandoned, that’s the next group, you’ll rest,” Moody revealed.
“But just seeing him stay and it’s intentional and trying to build that resilience and just level, he doesn’t drop his level of play either.”
Moody emphasized how curry is used strategically using scrimmage rather than treating it as a routine practice session.
“He’s using those games and it’s a cool mindset, but also his training and his pace and drilling work, and it’s cool to see everything,” he added.
Curry’s approach, despite being 36, represents a sign of encouragement for the Warriors.
He remains one of the league’s elite players, but he can carry and raise Golden State against young competition.
Last season, the Warriors reached the Western Conference semi-finals before falling for the Minnesota Timberwolves.
With the addition to addressing the specific needs of Horford and Melton, heading into the next season, the Warriors could become a more powerful Kuminga, potentially becoming a more dangerous candidate.
Moody’s observation suggests that Curry could exceed 24.5 points per game since last season.
