By your own admission the Warriors were going to pursue Durant regardless of whether they win it all or not. It's laughable to suggest their efforts would somehow be lessened if they had won and Barnes balled out (or your boy Steph had showed up
Why did you only highlight one part of my statement? I was talking about BOTH sides -
I'm well aware that they had been 'recruiting' him so to speak, prior to the offseason. That still doesn't take away from what I said. If the Warriors did win back-to-back titles, it would've had an impact on Durant's decision just like Barnes ballin out in the Finals would've had an impact on the Warriors pursuing Durant too.
It would've affected both parties - the Warriors pursing and Durant's decision of where he was going. Just because they had been recruiting him during the season doesn't mean they would've gone to the same extent they did do if Barnes ended up having a FMVP performance/being a major factor in them winning a title - Warriors sweeping the Cavs. Priorities would've changed. How hard is for you to comprehend?
Don't you think I already know the Warriors had been 'recruiting' him during the season?

). You think they were going to go into the meeting like "We don't really care if you come or not" 
Further you have absolutely no idea how the Warriors winning a championship would've effected Durant's decision, you're just speculating, baselessly. You normally have actual evidence to back up what you're saying, in this case you have nada.
