Since the Golden State Warriors cruised through the playoffs onto their second NBA title in the last three seasons.

This has created a huge response across the Western Conference with several teams making moves to bolster their roster to better compete with the Warriors. It's something that has caught the attention of two-time league MVP Stephen Curry, according to Ron Kroichick of SFGate.com.

“You look around the Western Conference, and the amount of  talent up and down the board is going to be crazy,” Curry said. “… Everybody is trying to make moves to become championship contenders. Before our first Finals appearance, we were doing the same thing — trying to load up and put together the right combination of guys to take our team to the next level.”
