I'm better than Mulli!
Kd isn’t playing without an extension. It’ll be signed before the season starts.I've thought about this as well to some degree, but let me pose a scenario.
As it stands KD is a test run. He is on a team he WOULD sign an extension with but there's no guarantee that happens.
There is a chance he doesn't move the needle there (a la his time here) and they don't extend him.
It would be very out of the ordinary but I believe they had interest in Book. If the stars align a certain way, they could still wind up inquiring about him next year.
They didn't give up anything from their current roster construction that should completely deter them from exploring that possibility again if it doesn't work with KD.
Or is this an impossible scenario?
