The Heat didn't storm out of the gate, they sputtered, and even when they looked great in 2011, they never looked dominant. So, how could this possibly, ever, go wrong? We'll take a look at the scenarios, and how likely they are, but the biggest thing you should take away from this is how unlikely it is that the Warriors fail in their quest to succeed, right from the start. Not only is this a monstrous conglomeration of unfettered basketball stardom on one team, it fits together perfectly and has no foreseeable shelf life until after multiple championships were earned. This core should be entirely in its prime throughout the duration of Durant's five-year deal, after which Durant will be 32 and likely have several more good years left. Steph Curry is the oldest of the core (if you don't count Andre Iguodala) at age 28, and he has four-to-six more years of his prime ahead of him if he can remain without another significant injury that requires surgery. There's no real "figure it out" in terms of how the Warriors should play, only questions of how the ball should get distributed and what new wrinkles should be incorporated into the Warriors' pre-existing system. This isn't the Heat with two players who were at their best at power forward in LeBron James and Chris Bosh, or two ball-dominant wings in James and Dwyane Wade.
Warriors not super-villains, just super team.Two MVPs, four members of All-NBA, four All-Stars, but it's not just the raw talent for the Warriors, it's how they fit together. So Kevin Durant is now in Golden State, and the Warriors look on paper to be the most dominant team we may have ever seen.
