I would say it would be more like Michael Jordan being a complete b**** rather than being Michael Jordan and joining the Pistons in the 80s.

Kevin Durant needs to be on a team where they need him to win a ring. Yep, and the thing with LeBron going to the Heat (which was also a b**** move just magnitudes less than this) is that team doesn't win a single title without him and he wasn't leaving a team that was capable of winning a title. He also didn't join the team that was already the best in the NBA and that beat him in the postseason in large part because of his own choke job. Any titles that Durant wins in GS are meaningless towards his legacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone care? No. He played great and so will Durant. Edited July 4, 2016 by JenksIsMyHero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dislike durant almost as much as I dislike for the decision to leave his original team. As we have seen with Lebron apparently all will be forgiven though if Durant returns to OKC in a couple years and wins a title.

GS has won without Durant, and choked away this season. If he went to the Clippers or Boston I could understand. But this is, as was stated previously, a b**** move.

Situationally, this is much more damaging than "the decision". The good news is, it's a one year deal with a player option and the Warriors will have to find $35 million in cap space to re sign him after this season.
