KD should not look further than his own team mate as an example. Pre injury DeMarcus Cousins was a monster and was on his way for a max salary FA season but after he got hurt his value plummeted right down to accepting a one year deal with GSW. A year and a half after his injury he is still not the same player and good luck to him getting a good contract after this year.
That could very well happen to KD if his injury became worse all because of this saviour stunt that he and GSW pulled.
