Lebron took the easy conference, he would have never had 10 finals appearances in the west.
Warriors also never needed KD, it was a bad move legacy-wise by Curry and KD tbh. Warriors would have won in 2017 if they were just bloodlusted anyway. I guess they wanted to ensure that the dynasty stays for a long time. Too bad that Klay and KD got serious injuries down the final stretch for a 3peat. Talk about real bad luck, the 3-peat would have cemented Curry’s legacy in top 5. No team has ever had a 3-peat in the Lebron-Steph era because of the competition.
