With that being said, Stephen not signing an extension means this summer, he would be eligible to get offered a bigger deal with the Warriors.

Many believe that Steph would not go anywhere when the time comes to decide on staying with the Warriors or playing elsewhere.

Golden State is the only team he has ever played with, and it is hard to walk away from them.
