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 :)

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.

Exactly... and even Woj has been quiet on this one so far. In fact no one reliable has said anything yet. No one really knows, these guys are just trying to stir emotions.

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.

Don't you think he could beat the Warriors with OKC though? Boston made sense because it would still be his team and they play in the East. With the Warriors, he's joining forces with Curry.

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.

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.

I agree. It's no guarantee that they're better. There are serious concerns about fit, chemistry, and the weak supporting cast that they'll have to assemble in order to fit him.

At least in the regular season it's basically impossible for them to be better with Durant.

Sometimes I wonder if players just tell their people "leak this and then leak that, so I can follow on twitter and see what people would really think if I chose that team"

And if they don't win the championship, Durant would get a ton of blame.

Little if any credit and most to all of the blame.  It might all be worth it for the opportunity to be a part of Steph Curry's legacy, though.

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.

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.

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

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

I mean, Brady has decided, so it shall be so it is done.  Amen.

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

No man, in the regular season outside of the Thunder, all the main reporters said Warriors were the favorites to sign him.

Forgetting they have to sacrifice a ton of their depth to sign him.

Once we start seeing Bogut trade rumors, then we know what way KD is going. Until then, GAME ON!!!!
