It’s been a long time coming for the Golden State Warriors.

Well, not that long. It has only been two years but there is no understating the pits Golden State has risen from.

The Dubs have spent the last two NBA Finals watching from home but a rapid resurgence has led to the Warriors once again representing the Western Conference on the game’s biggest stage.

Navigating back to greatness was not easy for Golden State. The franchise was dead in the water two years ago and looked in over their head last year when they missed the playoffs.

Here are the three most important moves the Golden State Warriors have made over the last two years to get themselves into a position for long-term success.

Yet, here we are. The Warriors have managed to click everything into place just in time for this current run at a championship and if all goes as planned — they’ll be in a position to compete for the next decade.

How did we get here? What brilliant moves did the franchise make to go from a 15-win team to a dynasty in two years? Let’s take a look.
