And Conley, Gasol, and Zbo in their primes would have gotten demolished by these Warriors
Looking to the past is not the answer, as the past never had a team like these Warriors
The Cavs are unreal- second best player of all time, just went 12-1 with the best offensive playoff rating of all time and they are about to lose in 4 or 5 by an average margin of 15+ in all likelihood
Warriors will only get better as they get more cohesive, and now they will have the MLE for other ring chasers too every year.
Not beating them. Gotta be happy winning the SW-- which I think is realistic in the next 2-3 years

That 5-10% chance of contention that you gave is a path that I'd like to pursue, get some one season fill ins, swing hard for a John Wall type in the next season or two. May or may not get it, but it's something that could make them a contender of sorts (whatever that means).
What I'm intrigued with, and what I'd try to sell a John Wall on, provided the prior season went reasonably well, is a chance to make history. Sell him on a shot to be part of a team that takes the next big step in the NBA, flying in the face of conventional small ball. The team could become a terror/dark horse, or could be another Memphis, but the potential is so tantalizing I'd think that a star guard/wing might give it a crack.

History tells us that in this era, it isn't sustainable. Injuries happen, feuds happen, anything can happen.
And the lux tax catches up to everyone. Teams falter. It happens to everyone, including the Warriors. Curry has glass ankles, KD has a bad foot, Draymond is a ticking time bomb, and Klay could get frustrated in his role.
Just make the best team we can.

all this it's absolutely ridiculous they legit have two top five players and two top 20 players in their starting five. With a former perinniel allstar (West) and the finals MVP two years ago coming off the bench. It's a little unreal.
