Seriously though, you seem to believe that without KD, the 2017 and 2018 W’s would have been identical to what we saw but just without KD on the court. But that’s not reality. Curry and Klay and everyone else would have been better without KD. The roster would have been different. The year before KD arrived they won more games than any team in NBA history. Granted, they didn’t win the title, but apparently it’s obvious that without KD that team wouldn’t have come back hungry and motivated and would have lost to the Cavs and Rockets. Ok.

I stand by my original comment that it is “arguable” that they would have won both titles without KD. Not certain or even near certain. But arguable.
