Steph ended the season as the leading scorer and was #3 on the NBA MVP race. He also carried the team to a #8 record, in a season where they were projected to not get beyond the #13 spot. However, as Curry kept getting better, there was more noise about getting Curry on a championship roster again. After the All-Star game, there was a ton of rumors about LeBron James trying to recruit Steph.

And I will always love him for what he did for this franchise. By the way, he took less money when he was here. He really helped us. We were able to get a couple of other players. … Players don’t usually do that and he did that. So I have great respect and admiration for that for Kevin. And I would for Steph no matter what he does, too. He’s done a lot for us, we’ve done a lot for him. I would hope that we provide the environment for him that he wants to be at for the rest of his [career].
