Warriors owner Joe Lacob considered not offering Stephen Curry the max?

The Warriors re-signed Stephen Curry to a maximum contract this summer.

But according to Marcus Thompson, Warriors owner Joe Lacob though about not offering the maximum to Curry.

However, according to an excerpt from Marcus Thompson's book "Golden," there was a point where Lacob considered not offering him the max. GM Bob Myers intervened (via CBS Sports).

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.
