You think the Warriors have a chance to grab him, now that they lost?

They have a chance. But I don't see why he'd view it as an anything other than a lateral move at best. OKC proved they can not only play with the Warriors, but actually beat them. I don't agree that they'd be the inarguable upgrade that some seem to believe.

No, if anything it exacerbates the problem of sharing shots that he already has to do with Westbrook. Everyone's usage rate would drop dramatically, and I just don't see how everyone is ok with that with Steph, Klay, Durant, and Green all in or just now reaching their prime.

There is such a thing as too much of a good thing.


Exactly. After a certain point, tt doesn't matter how many top tier scorers you have on the floor, they still play the game with only 1 ball.

Hmmm out West he basically mowed through the first 2 rounds and had the Defending champs down 3 - 1..   while in the East the New Champ MOWED through the east (as he has done for what 6 years now) and actually won the Chip..

soooo Durant is now thinking that the road to the Chip is easier for him in the east?
PS. Don't forget that Durant's Success rate against James is scary bad..  13-3 head to head..

Ckevelabd mowed through the East because it was so bad. There was one title contender in the East and at least four in the West. So, yeah, it's definitely an easier path to the Finals.
100% agree with you that the east was horrible..  But I don't think Durant (who has not fared well head to head with Lebron) would see going through Lebron as an easier option...

Nothing good came from the NBA throwing the title to Cleveland
