The Warriors are starting to get the reputation of a franchise that people instantly give the benefit of the doubt to when judging personnel decisions.
It’s well deserved at this point. A championship and a 73 win regular season in back-to-back years are pretty good indications that a terrific roster has been built.
Most of the core pieces have been drafted by the organization. Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green were handpicked by this franchise out of their respected colleges.
You look at other important players in their prolonged run of success and see a combination of shrewd draft picks, under-the-radar free agent signees, and intelligent trades.
