I think it's possible someone else takes the leadership role and I think they would be better off if that happened. I think Houston still needs a trade or two to get in the mix.
Yes, he can be a bit mercurial. Realizing he couldn't get to wear he wanted with Westbrook was smart. He was foolish to leave Golden State, but he probably got stuck in his own head that the championship he earned there were somehow diminished by it being a super team. HKyrie kind of screwed him in Brooklyn. Suns GM/Ownership screwed over the entire team with the Beal trade. I'm not sure I'd call KD a great leader, but I'm not sure I'd call him a negative in that regard either. A net neutral seems more fair. He probably regrets a lot of his career decisions, but that can be used to describe just about any person.
