The Golden State Warriors have signed rookie guard Stephen Curry to a contract, as expected. The sharp-shooter out of Davidson was the No. 7 overall selection in last month’s draft and received a two-year guaranteed deal with two team options.

The amount if the contract is pre-set, based on the NBA rookie salary scale. Curry, based on where he is picked, is scheduled to make $2.26 million. Teams are allowed to pay up to 120 percent of the pre-set salary, which Curry received, according to a team source.
So Curry will make $2.7 million in his first year and $2.9 million in his second season. The Warriors have a team option for $3.1 million in 2011-12 and $3.96 million in 2013-14.
Curry is in Las Vegas with the team getting ready to play in the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas. He was previously mentioned in draft-day trade rumors as the Warriors talked with the Phoenix Suns about a trade for All-Star forward Amare Stoudemire. But Golden State is enamored with Curry, who will play point guard for the Warriors, and said he wouldn’t be traded. According to a team source, the talks with Phoenix about Stoudemire are still ongoing, and Curry is still not part of the negotiations.
