In fact, the Dubs had a shot at a three-peat when Durant got injured and missed out on the 2019-20 season. Surprisingly, KD decided to leave the Warriors and join the Brooklyn Nets during the offseason. The Nets guard later admitted that his altercation with his former Golden State teammate Draymond Green played a role in his decision.
