    Draymond Green was the first guy Durant went up to shake hands with after the game 7 loss. Not sure there's a hatred there.

    I can't see how Durant can stick with WB. There is no way they can win a championship with WB running the point. He just doesn't know when to shoot and when to pass.

    21 shots! Most team in Playoff history! 39% FG%

    Shot 30% FG when guarded by Curry! Guess that wasn't laughing at Curry, maybe it was crying.

    Durant is the biggest b**** to set foot on an NBA basketball court if he joins the team that he choked a 3-1 lead away to.

    He'll sign a 1+1 contract wherever he goes.

    That's a good point.

    If he wants the money that much, he can still sign a 1+1 contract with any other team and than resign next summer x4...i bet the overall money is not going to be a big factor in his decision.

    If they let Iggy go to make room for KD-- and that's the only reason they'd possibly do that-- WANT! NEED!!

    Any chance he'd go to Charlotte to play with the Lin.

    Miami, lakers, boston... whatever. It's a team game. Spurs have done it recently. If you are so jealous of it then construct your own. Make a good team system then add stars. ISO stars like Harden and Melo are bad foundation if you are to build one.

    Durant is likely not going anywhere. $220 million & a damn good roster is a lot to pass on. Doubtful golden St breaks up their band for anyone especially if they win another chip.

    If Durant goes to Golden State, the whole world will hate him and the Warriors, probably more than they hated LeBron and the Heat.

    Anyother team can offer he pretty much the same contract with 1+1 plus no state tax here or Florida.. i see it being a Texas team or Miami Heat.

    Teams that sign Durant to a 1+1 aside from OKC will not have his full bird rights, meaning they would need to have 35million in cap space to resign him the following year.

    Yes exactly. Harden and Melo are identical players.

    Harden's last 3 season assist averages: 6.1 7.0 and 7.5 (6th in the league in assists this season)

    Carmelo's last 3 season assist averages: 3.1 3.1 and 4.2 (with Carmelo going up to 4.2 assists this year, instead of being in the 2/3 assists a game for the rest of career, this year he is at 49th in the league for assists)



    But again yes, you are right Harden and Carmelo are the same players "ISO Stars"

    That's a pretty massive difference. Pretty sure he signs a 1+1. He can set himself up for a lot of money and its a positive PR spin for his image and for the hometown Thunder fans.
