re: Where do the Warriors fit historically if they win the title this year

I think you're focusing too much on titles. The Suns have had a good product on the floor for much of the last 30 years. The Blazers never had great teams except a few, but they had a stretch of multiple playoff visits and their down years didn't last long. The Rockets got two titles and as Boom would say, only 3 (5) losing seasons since '82.

It's hard to pick because in the NBA, you could have good teams that win 50+ but unless you have a superstar or a few really good players in a good system (Pistons), you're not getting out of the 2nd round in the playoffs. And if we look back the last 25 years, the best players played in LAL (Magic to Kobe and Shaq), CHI (Jordan and then recently with Rose), SA (David then Duncan), HOU (Hakeem then T-Mac then Harden), DAL (Irrelevant until Dirk matured), etc, and those are the winning teams. The good teams become bad then good again until they hit on a guy. Then they become great.
