There's already tons of bandwagoning in the Bay Area with the recent success of GSW.  I rock my Celtics jerseys out here while everyone else is wearing their Warriors T-shirts or has a Warriors flag flying from the window of their car.  I'm getting sick of it, and it's only going to get worse if KD hops on board.  I'd respect him if he chooses to go back to OKC.

It makes you wonder what would take him so long to do a 1+1 with OKC though, since we'd just go through this again next year.  Is he considering a long-term stay with OKC even if Westbrrok hasn't committed yet?

He doesn't want to go through this again.  If Westbrook leaves, then he'll have to as well.  But if he leaves first, he's the one who looks like a jerk.  It's a very tough decision, although it has been made.

I've always thought he'd just stay with OKC on a 1+1.  But now I'm guessing he stays with OKC for a new max contract.  Hope I'm wrong and he comes out East.

If it's OKC, it'll be 1+1, because of Westbrook.  Anywhere else will be 3+1.

If the plan truly was to announce the decision "this morning", 11:00am eastern would be the most logical time.... 8:00am on the west coast.     You wait an hour and it's no longer "morning" on the east.   You do it it any earlier and most of us are sleeping on the west.

So is that in a few minutes???

Couple tweets from random people saying durant was spotted at logan.

Trolls, attention Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.s, or racially-faceblind yokels who saw a tall black guy. Or...him?

Delays are good.  It means return to OKC was not a slam dunk.  Even if we never had much of a shot, that we made it this far is AWESOME.

Hahaha this is awful. Durant really wouldn't be "dumb" enough to be spotted at the airport before his decision is made.

That makes sense.  Re-up next year on a max if Westbrook stays.

9 west coast and noon east coast time seems logical

Is this a 'leak'?

Someone is getting reprimanded or 'fired,' if they leaked this, because there is no way Durant would be okay with leaking this as casually as possible. But who knows?
