“It’s the hardest part of this business,” Kerr told reporters. “When you grow attached to people, and then people move on. Whether it’s a trade, free agency, coaches getting fired. You build these relationships that are really intimate, because you’ve gone through the fire together everyday, and then all of a sudden people are gone. It’s bizarre.”

"It's pretty clear where I stand," Steph Curry said, "trying to make the necessary adjustments to try to win."

The most realistic target for the Warriors is Heat star Jimmy Butler, whose ongoing suspension means that Miami has no option but to trade him ahead of the Feb. 6 deadline. That has drastically driven down his price. The Warriors have recently been more active in their pursuit of Butler.
