[@sani337]

I think the biggest impact of KD will be causing the raptors to choke and taking pressure off steph and klay

[@christianspencer8228]

The warriors have been bad on defense no matter who plays. So he wont impact there at all. But on offense, you have to imagine that he will take the shots the Iguadola/cook/McKinney were taking. I'm sure a hobbled kd can shoot better than those guys. So it opens the court for steph/klay. His impact will be deeper than points. Hard to double team steph and klay when kd is sitting in the corner.

James Hill nah he needs full credit take kawhi off the raptors they don’t even smell the playoffs and if they did they would’ve gotten swept in the first round kawhi is carrying the only reason his team is playing good is because of him making them better you can use the injury excuse all you want but the warriors are still the warriors and klay still dropped damn near 30 coming off an injury and if you go player for player down each teams roster Warriors got the deeper roster so please stop underselling kawhi people forgot he’s still a TOP 3 player in the league 👌

The only credit you get from me Max Kellerman is for being a buster. It's obvious the way KD was cooking before he went down to injury nor Kawhi or anyone else was shutting down KD. In fact KD was on his way to scoring 30-40 points the way he was playing and that was coming back from being out for 5 weeks.

Don't get me wrong, the Raptors are a great team as a whole but Kawhi is currently the only superstar on that team. KD is a generational talent but his legacy will always be tarnished.
