If you are comparing it to jumping on a team that won 73 games without him then any other supporting cast is dog shit. Still a playoff team without him and he was CLEARLY the best player on the Warriors. Losing a generational player tends to affect a basketball team.

Durant and the Thunder had the Warriors (one of the best teams in NBA history at the time even before Durant's addition) at their complete mercy in the 2016 WCF. The game and the series would have been theirs had they not committed 6 turnovers in the last three minutes of game 6.

The team they had was more than good enough to win a title with KD there, I'm not sure why anybody would refute that.
