Next year if the Warriors have to choose, who do they keep KD or Steph?

This will affect teams' planning for 2017 free agency -- specifically the Warriors. Kevin Durant is signing a contract Thursday that will allow him to re-enter the market as a free agent next summer. Because the Warriors will not have his full rights at that time, they will have to create $33.5 million in cap space if Durant wants a new max contract.
Steph has been in the system longer, probably willing to take a more team friendly deal than KD. KD is probably the better player and can do more both offensively and defensively. They've both had some injury issues and KD is younger I believe.

Steph has been playing on a team friendly deal. I'd think he's ready to get paid.

why would they need to create space? His 27.5 million coming off the books and the 10+ mill raise she be enough. Plus curry Iggy and livingstons contracts all expire. That's another 30 mill right there.

Unless I'm missing something, in the NBA you can go over the cap if you are resigning your own players. So they shouldn't have to choose.

HoopsHype shows them only committed to $34.2 mil for next season, so it seems like they can easily fit KD and Steph. Anyone know how much each of those 2 can command next season?
Depending on how much they'd get, they'd likely have to renounce the rights of almost all of their other players up for free agency to have room for KD, correct?

This is like asking if the Yankee's should have traded Jeter if it was necessary to keep A-Rod.

Steph because he is better than KD.
