team could be better without a great player of Durant's ability.
isn't it also logical, that 3 > 1. and what i mean by that is if three great players such as Klay, Steph and Draymond are all better without him, apparently significantly better, wouldn't logic dictate that indeed they could be better a better team? if you have three all-star caliber players whose games are raised without that guy it stands to reason they could be more successful. And steph has been not only been better, but rather a completely different player.
not to mention, we don't need to argue or speculate - the numbers bear it out. they simply have been better without durant. both in the post season and the regular season.
