Durant to Warriors
- Thread starter Ed Hillel
- Start date
Really bummed by this. Really don't think I'll bother with NBA much this year. Just seems pointless
Hmm...interesting. I wonder if OKC will be willing to go into a rebuild now or try desperately to build around Russ, who's probably more likely to go to LA next year.
Disappointing. From a basketball standpoint probably the best option but from a PR standpoint he's going to get killed.
Speechless. How could he do that? Legacy forever ruined. All time great player but should be an asterisk if they win a few titles
Doubt he'll actually go to free agency. Just a way to get the biggest max possible.
Warriors heel turn that started in the Finals now continues.
The big winner besides the Warriors has to be Lebron. Everyone will be rooting for him to take down the team of front runners from the Bay.
Westbrook might try to score 85 the first game against Oakland. He also probably told Durant he was 100% leaving next year.

Huge oversimplification.
The criticism is picking an all star team when you're good enough to win where you are
Obv not happening here but OKC would be best served to move Westbrook right now rather than lose him for nothing. The Lakers should make a push around Russell to lock him up right now.
I'm hoping his foot falls off and Currys knee explodes.
This kind of shit bums me out. Go be the man somewhere. Way to be Currys lapdog.
Ugh.

Yup. OKC's franchise just got gutted. Too bad although I bet people in Seattle are happy.
I heard all stuff from different writers as a reason he wouldn't pull a Lebron though
As I said, I thought he was going back OKC for this year anyway.
This. Sam Presti has to trade Westbrook now as he can't risk losing him next summer for nothing.
he did the one and one so that GS could sign him to a higher cap number. the option is if he hurts his foot again.
the NEts pick plus AB for Westbrook? OKC clearly has to trade him now

So I guess the last month has been amazing for LeBron's image. Now he's the hero again, I'd wager 90% of America will be rooting for him to stick it to the Warriors next season.
It wouldn't have been the same decision. With GS, he's joining the best team in the NBA, with the 2-time reigning MVP, that should have come off its second straight NBA championship. He is not the guy to put them over the top. He'll obviously make them great, but if Draymond doesn't get suspended, they are gunning for their third straight title this coming year anyway.
Coming to Boston would have been completely different. Putting a middle-of-the-pack Eastern Conference team in the mix as title contender, restoring glory to one of the iconic franchises. Totally different, and it's not simply because we're fans of the Celtics.
Hell no. He had his chance, next year Westbrook or bust!
Everyone enjoy your holiday, I'm out!
Blame Sam Presti. He traded James Harden for absolute nobodies instead of buying out Perkins.
