For all the reasons that you listed and more.

Even with all the phony narratives that they try to project onto his situation, he's beloved here by the fans and his teammates.

Wouldn't be surprised if the Warriors sign him to the extension this off-season anyway. As I said in the other post, I'd certainly take him not playing for a year if it meant keeping him in the long term.

EDIT: Oh, and they won't offer him less than the maximum. KD has taken less than he could for the last few seasons with the knowledge that they'd give him the max after his third season here. They aren't about to go back on that, injury or no injury.
