For more than a decade, LeBron James shaped a massive rivalry with Stephen Curry and the Warriors. Now he's gone. Left in his wake are two teams, each in dramatic transformation.
Warriors GM Mike Dunleavy expressed confidence once again that Stephen Curry -- who is on an expiring deal this season -- will remain with the Warriors until he retires.
LeBron James chose elsewhere, major upgrades never materialized and Golden State is again banking on continuity.
Stephen Curry will become the first active player to be honored at the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame with his own exhibit when it opens to the public Friday.
Andre Iguodala, the 2015 Finals MVP in the first of the Warriors' three titles over LeBron James' Cavaliers, says that the fact that Golden State is even a consideration for James in his free agency search is a testament to Stephen Curry.
"The pitch is: Do you want to play good basketball and be around people that know how to play the game? Hopefully raise our floor and our competitiveness this year. There's good golf in the Bay," Curry said.
