LINK This article came out yesterday. Personally I can't see him leaving OKC to go another small market when teams like the Clippers and Heat come calling.

You guys do realize San Antonio is a small market team and look at what they have done.. Small Market vs Big Market such bull now a days. KD is going to go to the place that gives him the best chance to win and win now.

Clippers? With what money? They will have to get rid of quite a few players. Heat? For what? Dwade doesnt have much tread left on those tires and neither does bosh.

Like i said I get I am biased but at the same time, give me a compelling argument that makes us not a place to come play basketball. I don't know where he will end up but I believe we have just as good a shot as any team. If not a better shot.

That article is effing retarded.

but then again, as the case with almost everything that includes free agents in the NBA, money is a factor, and there is no clue if Durant wants a maximum contract or not.


Come on.

Clippers won't be a factor.

Its OKC with by far the largest chance, then Washington, then a lot of other teams all clustered together.

He's not going to care about market, he's going to care about winning, and he might care about reclaiming his "heir to the throne" #2 player in the world status. I'm not sure if that helps or hurts the Pelicans. On the one hand, AD's youth, personality, and playing style would allow KD to be the top dog, on the other hand, does playing with AD possibly diminish you/elevate him in ways that playing with other players might not?

Durant doesn't strike me as the guy that needs the spotlight of a big market. He just wants to win. And not many teams can pitch playing him next to a player like AD for the next 5 years. Not saying we will sign him but its not crazy to think the Pels could be in the top 3 or 4.
