I'll preface this with I probably sound like an idiot saying Myers is anything but brilliant when you look at his roster he's built.

Having said that, I can't remember where or when I read it but there was a good aticle on how this GS run was equal parts luck and great roster management.

[LIST]
[*]GS offered Milwaukee their choice of Monta or Steph in the Bogut deal and Bucks chose Monta because they didn't trust Steph's ankles. 
[*]Steph had ankle problems so he signed a team friendly deal before he exploded that ultimately gave them cap flexibility to sign Green, Klay and Iggy to extensions and then bring in Durant. Most of those moves are impossible if Steph signs a market deal or doesn't have the ankle issues early on but that was a gamble on GS side too. 
[*]Barnes turned down an extension betting on himself that ultimately gave them the cap space to go after Durant.
[*]They won their first ring when they got a Cleveland team missing Kyrie and Love in the Finals and didn't play one team in the West who had their entire starting 5 at full strength.
