It's 0%. There is nothing the Rockets could have done this offseason to get Durant to come to Houston. How this is still a thread continues to baffle me.
Many here have beaten wife syndrome. No matter how bad the odds they will still have hope things will chamge
They'd have had a decent shot at Durant had they not signed D'Antoni as the head coach. The Thunder have a really weak team and Durant doesn't have a future there. Look at tonight, they needed the most from their team and they had 3 guys in double digits scoring with only Durant over 20. It's just a really weak team that is made to look better than they are by KD and Westbrick.
I'd very surprised if KD stays in OKC. That said, I'd fall out of my chair if we emerged as a finalist for his services. It would take a game-changer before free agency. Harden isn't a big enough draw alone.
Again, Harden is more likely to return to OKC to team up with his old buddies than KD leaving Oklahoma to come here.
That's simply false. By the time Harden hits FA, neither of Durant or Westbrick will be in OKC. Even if Durant stays there one more season, he's gone after that when Westbrick bails for a large market team.
No I really don't. He's a great offensive player for sure. I just feel he's another Harden during big games. U are born with it, some have it and others do. Durant falls in the lines of Malone / Barkley ... no rings.

Why? OKC choked and lost, everybody looked pissed at each other the whole game. Durant leaving looks as real now as ever. Not sure if he's going to want to go to the Spurs, definitely not the Warriors. Rockets have a tiny shot, this thread will live to be the longest thread in Ckutchfans history, book it lol
^Exactly. Durant knows Westbrook will bail and head west first chance he gets. Lakers will get him... it's going to happen. Everyone here in LA knows it. Russell will be gone in trade... etc. This is why I don't see Durant staying in OKC for more than a year at best.
