The Warriors made a hire to bring Stephen Curry's game to another level
Despite the NBA's Western Conference becoming tougher than ever over the summer, the Golden State Warriors will still enter the 2015-16 season as the favorites.
The reigning champions have kept their core together, and now they're making a hire that could catch their second-ranked offense up to their first-ranked defense.
According to ESPN's Marc Stein, the Warriors are going to hire Steve Nash to work with player development:
Sources told ESPN.com that Nash, who was not planning to go into coaching after formally announcing his retirement in March, has been lobbied aggressively by Warriors coach Steve Kerr and team president Rick Welts to spend a few days per month with the team to work on skills with individual players.
The parties, sources said, are in the process of finalizing a deal that essentially will make Nash an occasional tutor to the Golden State guards.
