What’s the narrative if the Dubs win this without KD? Does that make him more likely to leave? More likely to come to NYK? That’s all I really care about.

If they win without him, that definitely helps the “KD to the Knicks” narrative. The only possible way he doesn’t go to the Knicks is if some crazy shit happens in this series, like the Warriors losing without him or the Warriors winning but only after he returns and leads them to the victory.

EDITED TO ADD: I guess I probably used the term “crazy shit” a bit too loosely there, as both of those scenarios are relatively realistic.

Losing Thompson would be a huge blow to GSW.
