That's my line of thinking. If you are trading important pieces for him and he goes out then you are really thin. 

If Durant were willing to take MPJ's role and be the 3rd option, he probably could coast through the season and still be a major upgrade, even if he's only 70%.

The glaring concern is if he's just out with an injury, because the remaining team is incredibly thin.

They definitely would be favourites with KD. I just don't trust he will stay healthy and be around come playoff time. Or won't have some lingering injuries that have him playing at 70%
