So I always think of the Warriors with this in the mid 2010s with the combination of
having Curry on this amazing contract that somehow wasn't a max contract, even though he was a two-time MVP, having Draymond Green as a second round pick, and then anticipating the cap spike that was coming in the summer of 2016, which allowed them to let Harrison Barnes go and then sign Kevin Durant.
And all of a sudden they had Kevin Durant, Steph Curry, Draymond Green, and Klay Thompson, and Andre Iguodala all on the same team.
I mean-
Hard to think of a better great return than that.
