I felt like this is nothing new.
Out of all teams, GSW, Nets, Clippers, and Knicks remain favorites. Out of all 3, (not including GSW,) Clippers are probably the most enticing.
It is very favorable for Durant's interest in the tech industry, plus Balmer's consistent connections. In LA, awesome weather, and plenty of perks most teams couldn't offer him.
Plus they have a proven playoff team that managed to take 2 games from GSW, and a beneficiaries of role players/glue guys that would be perfect to put around Durant. If anything, Clippers scare me the most in stealing Irving away, unless we can go and snag AD.
Jiri Welsch:
Maybe. He’s also busy today tweeting at Chris Broussard, so you know his head is in the right place regardless. ::)
It’s crazy to me that these guys truly “don’t know” what their plans are. I guess that’s just me not being a millionaire NBA Star.
A Future of Stevens:
Count me in on wanting this outcome. Leave him in that conference, laugh at the Lakers, we resign Kyrie and trade for Davis.
Deal with the repercussions of a Durant led Clippers team when/if we make it to the Finals.

Why couldn't Irving go to LAC with him?
Just spit balling here, LAC was targeting Kawhi first, but the longer TOR stays alive, the less likely he leaves. So now the target becomes Durant/Irving instead.
And while Irving is supposedly on better terms with LeBron, it's not far stretched to envision him still taking pleasure of 1-upping LeBron, and what would be sweeter than doing that in LeBron's building/city? Have an easier time envisioning Irving with LAC, over the rumors he'll sign with LAL.
