I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

I wonder how hard it would be if they announce the signing and then had to move Bogut. I'm still waiting for those rumors to come out before I get too nervous. Or more nervous than I already am.

If KD was going back to OKC it would have been announced by now. Same with GS if he just wants to join forces with them. He's waiting for fireworks and to make sure everything is in order.

Hearing more and more it won't be based on money."Unfortunately, we might not know tonight! Still, not based on money is a good sign for the C's!Yeah, I heard that too. It's what I was hinting at when I said the Players Tribune writer has to write three articles. Only one will be published. Still might be tonight, but probably tomorrow.I'm guessing he wants to sleep on it a night, too.Erm, Players Tribune doesn't have writers?

That's an interesting question. I'm not sure about that.But the fact that we haven't heard any rumors about a Bogut trade or anything yet means that GS still doesn't know for sure about KD, or even how confident they are.

While Durant is known as one of the greatest scorers of all-time, he does not receive much credit for his rebounding - he led the Thunder with 8.2 boards per game last season - and defense.West said if Durant goes to a team with other great scorers and wins championships, the other parts of his game will receive recognition and he'll be known as a great all-around player rather than just a great scorer."HAHAHAHAHA talk about confirmation bias and twisting the facts! He was "overlooked" in OKC, so he should join the best regular season team of all time and a two-time MVP to not be "overlooked" anymore!
Love this quote from KD from 2010:Joining Golden State would be 10x more anti-competitive than what LeBron did in 2010. I'll lose all respect for KD if he does that.
