The Golden State Warriors already have the most talented team in the NBA right now. They just won their second championship in three years with the addition of Kevin Durant, but they will not be content with what they currently have.

Head coach Steve Kerr recently appeared on the latest episode of The TK podcast, hosted by Tim Kawakami of the Bay Area News Group. He talked about the Dubs wanting to be even beter next season, likening their situation to LeBron James after winning his first title with the Miami Heat:

“I think we will definitely be better next year, from the experience of this year — from having KD [Kevin Durant] have a year under his belt and a comfort level with his teammates and his surroundings. And being a champion — I think guys like KD, there's a weight lifted off their shoulders when they win their first one.”

“I think we saw it with LeBron when LeBron won his first title in Miami. To me, if you look at LeBron now compared to that first title, he's dramatically better. Dramatically. And I think a big part of that is just that weight being lifted. It's like you're playing with house money now. You don't have that pressure, nearly as much pressure anymore. So I think you'll see some of that with KD, you'll see some of that with our team.”

The two-time champion coach also added that he believes that both the Warriors front office and their players will be “greedy” in becoming better, hoping to further strengthen their defense of their title:

“There's two ways it can go — you can rest on your laurels or you can say, ‘Let's get greedy,' and I know our guys, and they're gonna get greedy, and they're not gonna stop working.”

It has also been reported that veteran shooting guard Vince Carter is open to joining Golden State, potentially bolstering their lineup. However, it will all boil down to signing their own free agents first before making any moves for outside reinforcements. If needed, they will make some moves to ensure they have the best group of players possible for next season.
