If the Warriors are a disaster this year - Does Durant leave?

[Phil125]

Man that is more ego on one team than I have ever seen.  I do not think KD will be happy on this team.  He will not see the ball much and if they have to start forcing it to him.  That is going to screw up their dynamic.  They are built on flow shooting.  Klay and Steph then green cleaning up the scraps. KD is more like Lebron he needs to control the ball a bit.  Work into his spot.

It will be very interesting to see how it works out.

Prediction 65 wins.  AND LOSE TO THE CLETICS IN THE FINALS!@!!! muuuhahahahhaah!!!!

The more interesting question is, can they keep him if he opts out?  If the cap level doesn't rise at the rate it was thought to, and Curry also being a free agent, with GS not having Bird Rights to Durant, will they be able to fit him under the cap?  Maybe this was always a one year plan.

They can keep him.  If it comes down to a choice between Shaun Livingston and Kevin Durant, it'll be Durant.

It's possible they'll have to lose Livingston, but because Curry's cap hold is comparatively small, there will be room for KD.
