    I don't think she's really doing anything beyond what anyone else might do in her situation. And even then, not in the most annoying way possible. Is she not allowed/supposed to have her own interests, and leverage her husband's network in pursuit of those. Or cheer for him?

    It's only annoying because they're so good. Basically it comes down to them being so good.

    Knicks or nets would still offer him 4year max.

    Nope, they will wait and see.. If KD is out for the whole of next season, no team would sign him.

    I think one of those teams might sign him, but I’m not sure another max guy (Kyrie) would want to go it alone for a year on those teams without KD.

    That’s why, if I’m Durant, I either opt in or take another 1&1 deal with Golden State, sit out, and reassess after next season. The offers will be there from some team and you can look at teaming up with someone else (Anthony Davis).

    Hell, maybe you get healthy for the playoffs with the Dubs and help them win another title as well. However, I wouldn’t risk another injury and wouldn’t play another game until I’ve secured that contract.

    That's because Keith Jones would have his head buried in the internet, trying to find info on Achilles' tendon injuries.

    Durant’s about to show the world he’s on Rudy Gay’s level.

    I’m a fan of his game despite the hate he gets but he’s going to have a major decline by the time he’s back (32 soon to be 33) and playing on a regular basis. A good player sure... a surefire top 3 player in the league? I don’t think so.

    He’ll get the max but whoever pays it is gonna regret it like CP3’s deal.

    no they wouldn't. GSW lied to the media saying KD's injruy wasnt that bad, even floating that he could return in the playoffs. So then media wrote stories about KD not wanting to play. Then they force KD to play through manipulations.

    Rockets would never do this and has never done this.

    I've been trying to figure out why you guys drag Jones so much.

    I mean, KD's game in not all about strength, explosion or speed, It's mainly about length. No one can contest his shot. I think he can come back from this injury.

    They did it last year with CP3's playoff injury. They knew he wouldn't be back for games 6 or 7, but they kept saying there was a chance. That way, the Warriors wouldn't be able to focus their game plan on a non-CP3 team.

    they did? I dont remember that. they knew from the get go that his hamstring pull was serious. I think it was more the fans were more hopeful that he would return but in reality it wasn't realistic at all and the actual team knew that. he was ruled out early as well and never left the window open like GS did for KD.

    Rockets would say he hurt it stepping out of the shower.
    Astros would say he hurt it getting a massage.
    Both would say "foot discomfort, day-to-day".

    You still need explosion and speed to get your shot off lots of players are gonna be able to contest his shot if he loses his athleticism if you didnt need speed and quickness Tmac would still have been good on the Knicks.

    GSW destroyed his stock I guess teams will pay him the max but he will never be a top player in the NBA again.

    Source? I don't remember that at all. We all knew his playoff run was over once we saw his face.

    Has it been officially announced that KD has a tear?

    Contract or not, if you play hurt, you will get hurt more that will be Capela's mentality. I'm quite sure from here on forward, Capela will not give you 82 games. It is more about willing to play hurt, Durant willing and Capela unwilling. I love Capela, but he needs to be battle harden.

    I'm not sure if this is serious. Equating what GSW did to KD to what happened last year to CP3 is pretty stupid. Rockets (and everyone on the planet) knew how bad CP3's injury was. They basically said they were going to do everything possible to see if CP3 would be able to play, but the writing was on the wall. He couldn't go. They didn't force CP3 to play on no hamstrings.

    GSW (and Jalen Rose) saw KD's shoot around and they knew it wasn't good and they still rolled him out there.

    Belichick would list them as questionable.

    I think KD will be fine with half the explosion; his length is second to none. KD will be simply a demi god now.
