“Harrison Barnes, I think to this day still don’t like me for KD coming here,” said Draymond.
“And the reality is bruh, I didn’t tell him to trade you to bring KD in. The reality is, if KD did come in and you were still here, you would have had to come off the bench. It’s f**king Kevin Durant. It is what is,” explained Green.

In Conclusion
Although Kevin Durant joined the Warriors in the summer of 2016, one can never say for sure that the Warriors would never achieve success without Durant. With Barnes on the squad, the franchise had already been to the finals twice and had won the title once.
However, with Durant on the squad, the team was stronger than ever. In fact, he even won the Finals MVP award on the two occasions that the Warriors won with him. Hence, although Draymond still endures tensions with Barnes, the addition of KD worked well for the Warriors.
