I'm going to say yes.  But I feel it is 50/50.  Hopefully he remembers the Celtics presentation and we made a big impact on him.  It's too bad we didn't get the last meeting.  Because Oklahoma gets one last chance to try to convince him to stay.

I voted yes.  I think it is 50/50 as well. 

This was my logic before reading that Stein tweet about GSW and OKC being the front-runners: GSW is the easy way out...he won't do that.  Clippers are cap-mathematically eliminated.  Miami, outside of Whiteside, is hurting.  Wade may leave (doubtful) and Bosh has those health issues and may have to retire at some point.  San Antonio seemed like a maybe, but would have to do some maneuvering.  Boston was a great fit.  Maybe wasn't the best WIN NOW scenario, but had a very, very bright future and still some great assets to improve going forward.  OKC, obviously the home-team, has a great chance. 

I was on CSNNE.com last night and read that Horford going back to ATL article, so everything is speculative at this point.  I still believe Boston is in the running.  He probably has it narrowed down to OKC, Boston, and GSW.  That's my personal belief.

I think he's giving us serious consideration, but I think he goes back to OKC.

So he writes a players tribune article saying he is going back to okc for one season as some sort of hero? That would be the lamest self serving thing he could do.

As much as it pains me, I had to select "no".

If he really wants a title now he's going to GSW.

Eh. I don't think he cares that much about his Players Tribune article.  People read too much into that stuff. His agent probably already has five separate stories written, based upon KD's decision.

I've always felt that it makes the most sense for him to stay in OKC for one more year, but the way this process has gone doesn't seem consistent with that.

The thing that makes me want to say no is the fact that this OKC team, that we now see, has one more year together, and then he and Westbrook could both be a free agents. I have no faith in Westbrook staying in OKC after next year. He will run to the high dollar.

So Durant will again be a free agent again next year if he signs a one year deal with OKC.

I have a feeling he stays in OKC for one more year. It's like all your best buddies saying, "let try one more time for the ring at home."

It should work...unless that team isn't as close as it should be by now.

Never talk to a pitcher during a no hitter. I won't do it.
