Stephen Curry made headlines when he said, "Hopefully, it still smells a little bit like champagne," when asked about returning to play in Cleveland.

Well, it turns out the Cavaliers didn't appreciate him saying that. According to Cleveland.com, Cavs players felt the quote was "disrespectful." To that, Curry might respond to them the same way he responded to everyone else on Twitter.

Curry's full quote: "Obviously, walking in the locker room, it'll be good memories. Hopefully, it still smells a little bit like champagne."

That context provides enough to realize that Curry was reminiscing more than anything. Some people read the back-end of the quote and took it more as Curry saying he hopes the Cavs have to smell champagne every time they go in the locker room. That wasn't the case.

LeBron James even asked reporters why they didn't ask about Curry's comments — saying he said he had a response but not offering it unsolicited, according to Cleveland.com.

Guess we'll just to have to wait for that answer.
