Many teams in the NBA improved greatly at the trade deadline. Which team has become the biggest threat to the Golden State Warriors?

The NBA trade deadline is a great chance for teams to improve. Making a last-second trade opens up the opportunity to make some adjustments before gearing up for the playoffs. As a result, there are a few teams that the Golden State Warriors should be looking at differently now.

It’s not unusual for a championship contending team to make a deal at the trade deadline. Sometimes, these teams have a couple of moveable pieces that can be flipped for an asset that will be more beneficial. This was the case for multiple teams in the NBA this season.

The Warriors chose to stay quiet at the deadline, which isn’t a bad idea. Golden State already has the key to success and shouldn’t risk ruining anything. However, some other teams around the league did get significantly better. Today, we analyze a few opposing teams that I think have improved the most.
