I haven't expected Durant to come here though my hopes are up a bit after yesterday.  But going to Golden State just seems like a severe miscalculation on his part.  Great chance at a ring of course, but if he believes in his own ability any strong organization should give him a good chance.  GS will have a skeleton roster after their top 4, bar the occasional ring-chasing vet, it won't be Durant's team, but he'll be blamed for any failings, and he'll still have to get out of the West every year.  It just seems very short-sighted, and would really make me reevaluate Durant as a great player.

LBJ didn't join a team he couldn't beat he went to a team to find a way to beat them. Don't do it KD. Don't be a worse version of Ray Allen.

TP. It kills me praising Lebron like this, but that was totally a different situation than this KD thing.

I will be absolutely shocked if he goes there. At least Ray Allen was on his last leg. The former MVP from two years ago will be joining up with the current MVP, while both are in their primes.

Yeah Lebron was trying to beat the big three in Boston. It's kind of different. Lebron played with a bunch of scrubs in Cleveland.

Hasn't this been decided?  I believe Brady already weighed in, why is this still a question?

Durant is coming to Boston.  Decision to be formally announced at 9pm.  4-year deal with player option after year 3.

Lol, tp.

Yup, and one from me too. I saw the first line while the second line was just off my screen and I was fooled.  :D

Lol I can't believe some of you are falling for these tweets. Didn't you learn yesterday from Woj saying Boston wasn't getting Horford to getting Horford literally two seconds later that all of this means nothing until a decision is announced?

Take a deep breath :)

Yeah it's very short sighted. Curry isn't even making the max yet. His run will be similar to Lebron's run with the Heat. He will eventually need to leave the Warriors like Lebron needed to leave the Heat.

The only reason he goes to GSW is if he doesn't think we're good enough to beat the Cavs out east with him. He just wants a ring and doesn't care how it comes.

What do you mean? That Brady knows KD's answer and has announced it somewhere?

Idk man, Warriors have been the consistent favorites since the season began. I don't want to believe it either. What happened yesterday was kind of a rare occasion. Woj is usually very excellent.

Nice good for KD wanting to be the new Kevin Love circa 2016. Have fun riding the coat tails of Klay and Steph!

Ray Ray was on his last cankle.

I will officially become a huge LeBron fan if KD goes to GS.  That would be idiotic and I am unconvinced they would actually be better, likely worse regular season and one injury from losing in the playoffs.  He already had them beat this year if Westbrook wasn't so bad at the end of games.

And Draymond Green will outshine them all in postseason games too. Ugh.

For the championship? The Cavs beat them. For Durant? the Thunder were the favorites to resign him.
