I remember hearing out of the Spurs camp that they were pretty determined to send him out East. So whether the Blazers did or not is kinda a moot point.

Four days before the Raptors popped them by nine in the Finals opener, a prominent member of the Warriors posed a question: “Why the **** are we such big favorites?”
Vegas had opened with a series line that confused him. You’d have to bet $275 on the Warriors to win $100.
“Did they watch the Blazers series?” he asked.
The Warriors trailed for more time than they led against Portland. They fell down 17, 18 and 17 at separate times in the final three games of that misleading sweep. Thursday’s opener was the fourth straight game they’ve trailed by double-digits.
The Blazers — tired, banged up, newbies to the stage, appearing content to call it a season — bumbled away all three...

Interesting quote from the Warriors. Sounds like - even though it was a sweep - the Warriors weren't happy with how the Blazers series played out and had the Blazers been healthy, they may have actually had a chance to get past GS.

What if Nurk had stayed healthy and what if the Blazers had made the rumored trade for Gasol they were rumored to be negotiating with the Grizzlies around the deadline. What if Nurk had been healthy, I had to have wondered what the WCF would have looked like then and if Portland could have held on to some of those leads they had with that different dimension and a better pick and roll game. What if the Nurk injury had still happened but they had made that deal for Gasol and he was who filled in for Nurk after he went down....

I honestly think we could've done it if we didn't fumble it away. Outside of the travel logistics that messed up game 1 we should've absolutely won game 2 and 3. Whether or not game 4 would've been another have a big lead but blow it being up 2-1 vs down 0-3 heading into that game is questionable, but we fumbled game 2 and 3 away completely. The Raps did no such thing with their leads and went up 2-1 like we should have, we a great chance to make it 3-1 like they just did in Portland.
In a way though I am content, the Warriors are finished KD is gone, they are so different without him, they aren't the juggernauts they were in 2016. Hou is crumbling, the West is wide open we got Dame on lock for multiple years with McCollum right behind him and our big money contracts are expiring next summer.
Plus this way I don't have to feel guilty rooting for the Blazers over the Raps winning it all. LoL
