Honestly, outside of Miami, the only place I'd be ticked that he'd go to is Golden State lol

OKC makes sense, because that's home. We make sense due to fit and all of the other factors in our corner. San Antonio makes sense, too, because they fit him better with an excellent environment.

But Golden State would just absolutely make no sense for top-3 guy in his prime in this league. It also would be the final straw in me hating Golden State. They already lost a lot of my goodwill toward them with their lackluster attitude in the playoffs and their terrible decision-making.

It really does make little sense. I orignially thought he was going to choose the Spurs because Leonard would be a great second banana but nobody is even talking about him.  At least Kennedy mentioned the Celtics.

The sense from Durant to GSWs, according to a source, continues to be that he likes their team but doesn't know if he can/should leave OKC.

Kawakami again

Tim Kawakami is a huge Bay Area homer.  A year and a half ago, he ran story after story that Jim Harbaugh would never leave the 49ers, unless the 9ers traded him to the Oakland Raiders for a draft pick.  No chance he would ever go to Michigan, because his heart was in the NFL, his wife liked the Bay Area, and it was all just a contract ploy.

It was literally months of that story, and he couldn't have been more wrong.  When it comes to getting right who is coming and going from the Bay Area, he has his Golden Gate goggles on big-time.

Wow, this is good to know lol. Makes me feel a little better.
I just went on his twitter and a bunch of people are kinda attacking him for the tweet because it implies GSW is favorites and hes pretty adamant that he didnt mean it in that way. Not sure what the hell he did mean, but its worth noting.

Wow he's so sensitive. Blocked me for calling him a Warriors homer instead of just a reporter.
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

you vs. the guy she tells you not to worry about

If we lived in Oakland wouldnt we be saying that Boston makes no sense?  We'd be saying that  the C's are still 2 players away and theyd have to get past The King.  GSW would become an immediate dynasty....  My heart is pleading for KD to love the Celtics  and want to build his legacy here. My brain says if the goal is championships, then it's GSW.

No. This is an entire different monster than event he Miami Big 3. Lebron orchestrated them to team up TOGETHER - he didn't just join the literal best regular season team in history.

I think even Warriors fans can admit to themselves that it will hurt KD's legacy to go there. Legitimately the last two MVP's would be teaming up together to try and take down the former MVP Lebron. If that doesn't speak volumes, then I don't know what does.

Speaking of that, have two recent MVP winners ever teamed up like this before? Durant just won it in 2014, and Steph has won it the last two years. So this is the narrative - the two most recent MVPs are teaming up because they can't win the ring on their own (without the help of Cleveland injuries).
Not comparing KD to LBJ or making any righteous judgements, just saying that as a free agent who wants a title, his best option would seem to be GSW.
