I'm here today with Charles T. Hamilton,

who will have his usual Friday free agent targets later on,

but because it's what if we hear on the Lockthorn

Podcast Network. I wanted to present you with this. What if Kevin Durant never got hurt in last

year's playoffs? How do you think that that would have changed things, not only in the finals,

but also this last off season. What do you think? So I like this question, but I don't think the, I don't think there's a huge change.

The biggest change to me is I think they win the title, when a third straight championship.

I think they win it in five, honestly. They just looked, that team team we took for granted for three years the fact

that step clay draymond and kd were on the floor together and maybe it was just a shock to the system

seeing how bad they were this last year without those guys but that it's one of the best teams of all

time i think they win the title in five. I still think KD leaves, honestly.

I still think he goes to Brooklyn.

I think he has the same reasons for leaving.

I don't think the title would have changed his, you know, outlook on the situation.

I think maybe they hang on to andre aguadala just as a hey we won three in a row let's keep everyone around as much as we can but even then the the reason

they traded on dray godala was to do the sign and trade for DeAngelo Russell.

So that's probably the biggest factor is what they have hung on to Andre Guadala.
