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.

Can they sign him outright or will it require a trade?They'll pretty much gut their team. I think they'll be able to keep Steph, Klay, Green, Iggy, and Livingston to sign Durant (while losing Barnes and Ezeli as free agents), and they'll already be at the cap.That's yet another reason that I can't imagine KD goes there. If he wants a lesson on how important a supporting cast is, look at the Clippers and what they haven't been able to do, even with a ton of talent.They would also have to trade Bogut.MikeDo they have to trade before they announce the signing? 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. 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.

Chris Boussard said on ESPN its 50/50 between OKC and GS...so yeah, there's that

I'm going to bed as it's 01:23 am right now (sometimes I just hate living in Europe ). He probably won't be making the decision until tomorrow. Assumingly he would like to think it all over before publicizing the destination.
