I’m re-watching game six of 2015 NBA finals and as I’m watching the game, I’m realizing in my head this question did Steph and the Warriors maximize their prime best years starting the year they won the championship in 2015. Please let me know your thoughts down below.

i think dray cost them 2-4 titles. I also dont think they would have got 4 without him
they won 3 titles in 4 years, so no they wasted it
They literally signed Kevin Durant the year after winning the ring. Yes.
Yes, save for a few minor hiccups, you could not have found a better managed team and organization in the NBA during that time, and the 4 titles are evidence enough of that.
Which one do you think was the biggest minor hiccup that could’ve been avoided had they had the opportunity to redo it? Thank you for your answers though bro
I think they would have liked to keep durant, but that situation blew up mostly due to team drama. They would have likely won a 3rd title with him against the raptors if they didn’t rush him back from the calf injury that led to the achilles tear in the finals.
Then a lot of people will point to drafting Wiseman at 2, which they got absolutely nothing out of. I guess that depends what you define as their “prime years”
The 2 timeline thing.
Beyond that. They got him into the top 15 of all time convos. If he was drafted by Minnesota and played his career out there, he’d still be in that tier of talent but in no way would he be as certified. The warriors assembled one of the best teams ever, twice, with Steph in the picture.
/r/warriors has the memory of a gold fish and has zero clue as to how all out ownership has gone to win as much as possible.
No more half a billion on yacht races during the offseason while refusing to spend money on making the team better. You can tell how young that sub has gotten.
The only debatable year is 2019. They depended on six man rotations too much with the curry klay dray iggy durant death lineup with looney the only consistent bench. Thats why injuries happened.
If we won 2016 then KD wouldn’t have come and 2017/especially 2018 would’ve been very debatable because the Cavs in 2017 and 2018 had some of the best offensive teams ever to not win it. Also rockets in 2018 were good.
They have 4 titles lol 6 finals appearances
Yes and luck managed to work against them at times. KD being injured and lebron being lebron kept him from winning more than 4
