His scoring game has aged gracefully, and will probably continue to do so. I don't think that right now, this second, he's still a physical enough player to build a championship team around, and I think that's part of why it didn't work in BRK or in PHX. (part). 

I am going to choose to continue to ignore this rumor, because I can't see it, personally. I think Harrison meant what he said about defense. Not saying I agree, just that I think he believes it, and bringing KD here wouldn't jive with that, imho. 

I think they are a PG and some health luck away from being a contender.

He let DJJ walk in order to go after Klay.  The only consistent thing we have seen with Nico at the wheel (other than getting fleeced in trades) without Linsey influence is trading for his guys (Kyrie, Klay, AD).  We will see, but I am afraid this is more wishful thinking than a logical extension of Nico pattern.

If that PG is a quality 2 way starter with size, then it may be a contender.  Unfortunately there is a lot more noise around KD than anybody fitting that description.
