if KD joined celtics instead - would the finals be warriors vs. celtics?

[Smashius Clay]

He couldda/shouldda went home.

 

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

As a Celtics fan, I say yes.

 

[OnFleekTing]

nah he's not getting past cleavland like that not with IT being russell westbrook 2.0

 

[William F. Russell]

I say yes.

But I'm not sure if KD on the Cs would be enough to win a chip against the Warriors. But it definitely makes the Cs a legit contender.

 

[Shameonyou]

either yall never watch IT play, or yall have terrible eyes....he came in the nba playing off the ball..wtf are yall talking about?

 

[Sccit]

IT2
AVERY BRADLEY
KEVIN DURANT
JAE CROWDER
AL HORFORD


THEY WOULDA SWEPT THE CAVS

 

[kuts]

No bc LeBron showed that he owns that team. KD wouldn't be able to makeup for the way LeBron got at the Celts.

 

[BiggWebb79]

Yea they would've beat the Cavs, but lost to Golden State. I also think the Celtics gave up there chance of beating the Cavs by holding on to those picks instead of trading for PG13 or /& Cousins.

 

[Mad Good Dro]

Warriors would of lost to the spurs in 6

 

[Izanami]

It would've made for a more compelling playoff and season. Playing to the best of us abilities maybe they do win It all with Durant. But then again it's different when you supporting cast can gon73-9 without you.

 

[Stress Welker]

For those saying the Celtics front line is too soft, keep it mind the roster would look different had KD joined them. Ainge would have more of a win now attitude, as opposed to we ain't winning shot now so let me roll out what we got.

To answer your question. No, but its hard to say since I don't know what other pieces would have been added.

 

[Versa]

Yeah I'd say KD + IT + Horford is enough to get past Cleveland.

 

[FabTrey]

come to think about it and man KD playing for celtics really would've made this playoffs better. but i don't mind the dynasty. curry/durant duo is lethal. i like dominance.

 

[bl2k8]

Yeah I'd say KD + IT + Horford is enough to get past Cleveland.

Any situation that involved KD going somewhere else other than GS or staying in OKC was not guaranteed to end in a Finals appearance or championship
