re: KD to Golden State

This is 100% worse than lebron... Lebron teamed up to win a ring... Durant is joining the best team in last 2 years. Durants a hoe

People want players to stay on one team, even if it's a detriment to their career, and they want them to take less money, because it's totally what they would do

yeah it's pretty insane

I think OKC could have taken down Golden State next season

they absolutely could have. while golden state has a great team, their style obviously leaves them a little more vulnerable in the playoffs. okc would have been my pick to come out of the west next season.

durant is a pussy.

I never had too much of a problem with WHAT Lebron did, it was always the way he did it that bothered me.

Having a national broadcast that drew in millions of viewers and donated all the broadcast money to charity?

What a fricking criminal!!

you'd lose money on that bet probably 85-90% of the time

there is no guarantee OKC would even be a top 3 seed next year

People are criticizing a great player who looks like has to run to other great players and a great team to win a title. People killed Bron for it, so people should kill KD for it.

Relax, Nancy. It was a dick move on his part to do it that way. It's okay to say it.

This has been by far the most challenging few weeks in my professional life. I understood cognitively that I was facing a crossroads in my evolution as a player and as a man, and that it came with exceptionally difficult choices. What I didn’t truly understand, however, was the range of emotions I would feel during this process.

The primary mandate I had for myself in making this decision was to have it based on the potential for my growth as a player — as that has always steered me in the right direction. But I am also at a point in my life where it is of equal importance to find an opportunity that encourages my evolution as a man: moving out of my comfort zone to a new city and community which offers the greatest potential for my contribution and personal growth. With this in mind, I have decided that I am going to join the Golden State Warriors.

I’m from Washington, D.C. originally, but Oklahoma City truly raised me. It taught me so much about family as well as what it means to be a man. There are no words to express what the organization and the community mean to me, and what they will represent in my life and in my heart forever. The memories and friendships are something that go far beyond the game. Those invaluable relationships are what made this deliberation so challenging.

It really pains me to know that I will disappoint so many people with this choice, but I believe I am doing what I feel is the right thing at this point in my life and my playing career.

I will miss Oklahoma City, and the role I have had in building this remarkable team. I will forever cherish the relationships within the organization — the friends and teammates that I went to war with on the court for nine years, and all the fans and people of the community. They have always had my back unconditionally, and I cannot be more grateful for what they have meant to my family and to me.
