After the Golden State Warriors added 2014 Most Valuable Player Kevin Durant to their stacked roster, 2015 and 2016 MVP Stephen Curry told the Bay Area News Group's Marcus Thompson that the "big-time move" wouldn't make everything easy for them.

"Just because we have KD, because the guys we have on the roster -- we do have one of the most talented rosters in the NBA -- but that doesn't mean we're just going to blow everybody out," Curry said. "It's not like CYO, where you roll the ball out and the most talented team wins. We're going to have to work. We're going to have to play well. Nothing will be given to us. We're not going to go 82-0 and blow everybody out. We are going to be challenged."

This comment echoed what Durant said at his introductory press conference: "I know we're expected to be perfect every single day, but I know that's not realistic." Both quotes might be making you roll your eyes right now.

The Warriors obviously don't just have "one of the most talented rosters in the NBA." This is an absurd collection of individual talent -- in addition to those MVPs, who are two of the best shooters in NBA history, there is Klay Thompson, a third. Then there's Draymond Green, who finished second in Defensive Player of the Year voting the last two years and is essentially an all-NBA point center. And then there's Andre Iguodala, one of the best all-around players of his generation and still one the smartest wing defenders in the game. The best part: the pieces all fit. Golden State shouldn't have to stray far from its formula to integrate Durant.

This all means that the Warriors are going to be favored in every game in which their four All-Stars are on the court. Curry and Durant both know this. They also know they can't gain anything by starting this partnership off by claiming they're going to crush the rest of the league. Not after the "not five, not six, not seven" fiasco in Miami six years ago.

Curry just finished a season in which his team broke the NBA's all-time record for regular-season wins. The whole time, Golden State had to fight human nature to remain focused. At times, the talent meant that it could get complacent and still win. In the playoffs, when adversity struck and there was less room for error, the Warriors' worst habits came to the surface and they (just barely) failed to finish the job.

It seemed almost impossible that Curry and co. wouldn't win the title, especially after they took a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals, but then a bunch of things happened and they lost. After that experience, there is no way that Curry is going to act like Golden State has already won. That's not his style, anyway.

Will Golden State really be challenged, though? It depends on how you look at it. There will likely be at least a small adjustment period as Durant and his new teammates get used to each other. Injuries and personal issues can pop up at any time. But if this group is healthy and clicking, it has a real chance to be one of the most dominant teams the league has ever seen.

Curry knows that, too. There's just not much point in talking about it now.
