Yea, that’s the biggest misconception. Remove KD from GSW and the ‘17 Spurs were the best team that year. ‘18 Rockets would be the best team the year after. Cavs were a bad defensive team in ‘17 and Kyrie was gone in ‘18. No guarantee Cavs would win anything.

On the flip side, without KD perhaps the Warriors have a complete mental collapse in the ‘17 season… or perhaps they do what the 2014 Spurs did after also choking a heartbreaker to LeBron.
as @SchoolboyC said it's a pointless conversation because you don't know what several teams look like if KD doesn't go to the Warriors, the OKC 3-1 choke and then the GSW 3-1 choke set off several chain reactions for that offseason

We’ll never know. The butterfly/ripple can go so many ways

If the Cavs do repeat does Kyrie still ask out

If he goes to the Spurs and they win does Kawhi still end up having the fall out with the org, does Toronto even happen

If he goes to the Clippers does the CP3 trade to make that 18 Rockets squad even happen?

If he goes to the Celtics does IT still get hurt? Do they still draft Tatum? Is Brad Stevens still coaching?

If the Warriors don’t get KD do they just bring back Harrison Barnes or do they try to take a swing at another upgrade? Does Butler or PG end up with the Warriors instead of Minnesota or OKC

He only won 2 with a super team in Miami, what makes you think he just easily wins 2-3 more rings?
Hold on that Dallas team that beat Miami had way more depth. Outside of the Miami big 3 they didn’t have anyone else. If KD stays in OKC. Lebron stays in Cleveland with Kyrie and Love they get another 2-3. Lebron came back on them boys. Pure will

Kyrie didn't ask out for no reason. It's because Bron was trying to trade him despite hitting the biggest shot in NBA finals History.


Start a 7 minute mark.

Why wasnt that environment more inclusive to KD based on the success he helped create

Did any level of organization not shyt on him publicly while he was there?
