KD will be back in San Fran next season. Son doesn’t have the heart to start from scratch at a new franchise. Coward dude.

Son too b made to leave. It takes heart to leave, which he doesn’t have. He can’t win a ring without Steph, Klay, and Dray. He’s a front runner. He ain’t going anywhere.

After what happened to IT I ain't knocking it.
Outside of Klay them dudes gotta play to get the bag and even if Klay torn his hammy he's still getting the bag and his career won't change.
KD pops that Achilles and the rest of his career changes.
After Dray charged him up KD shouldn't play.

Heard that, my G. Want to reiterate, I'm by no means questioning or doubting the severity of KD's calf injury. Only the GSW brass, medical staff and Kerr know the truth and extent.
To touch on your other points, in Durant's mind, imagine the possibility of coming byke in G5 and somehow willing the Dubs to three straight victories to flip a 3-1 series deficit. These are the types of moments and opportunities that define and potentially add to legacies. Rallying Golden State now, in 2019, would supersede the two rings he won already.
Only KD's inner circle knows his FA intentions. I'm of the belief that he's known he wanted to leave for a while now. Whether it be to team up with Kyrie, or become NYC's basketball savior, etc. This would be the storybook sending-off to win a third consecutive title in his Golden State tenure.
The way I'm built, the disrespect or mistreatment by and from GSW colleagues would only be a motivating factor. Like y'all have seen how the Finals goes without me, watch me come byke and completely change the team dynamic, floor spacing and defensive scheme. One last hurrah to say, 'F you, everyone who slighted Kevin Durant.'

If Leonard and Butler stay with their teams, KD may want to stay west. Top to bottom west still better and the regular season will be more of a grind but playoff time it'll be tough sledding against those three teams out east. I've been giving Philly more credit with every Finals game
On another note, if I'm a contender, I'd keep my best players at a minimum games played during the regular season. Playing 75+ games isn't worth it

KD is definitely enjoying it because it’s human nature, especially after all the KD slander the past couple of weeks when the Warriors swept through the Rockets and Blazers. The Warriors struggling without him validates his the last two championships with the Warriors even more. I think any one of us in his position feels the same way.

KD on the Warriors was more predictable than WWE wrestling. Son ruined the league. His injury this playoffs was a blessing from the NBA gods.

Jalen definitely said that. He also said game 4 or 5 would be too late if kd did come back. That's looking to be true as well.
This series has really shown me how powerful narratives in on media are in direct relation to sports. REALLY the whole playoffs.

I had the same feeling when the Warriors were in their first Finals. The odds are heavily staked against us. You shouldn't worry too much.

KD at 70%...like where are y'all even pulling that number out of thin air. He couldn't even go through a 3 on 3 scrimmage, the footage we've seen is of him shooting in flip flops. He's limping everywhere. Y'all must be on that gas thinking he's anywhere close to being able to play.

You got the 2 home games in oakland. You’re gunna win bro. Enjoy it
You see how focused your boys looked after game 4? Not one smile. Not one laugh. These boys are not letting up they are locked in.
It would take a miracle for the warriors to come back.

Or how about the fact that there is an entire fanbase missing from the Finals ratings because there is only one US team in it? Literally 50% of the fans who's teams are represented in the Finals are missing.

Yeah, I’m sold on how good Philly can be after this series considering how tough they played the Raptors. I do agree with your comment about resting players but you have to do it strategically and figure out which lineups work which is what the record suggests the Raptors did this season. Like Kawhi said, the regular season is just practice for the playoffs
