    He's scored a whoooole lotta points but he wants to enjoy his remaining years and try to get a ring or two. And the Warriors, much as I've grown to loathe a lot of their players, have a great org. Who wouldn't want to play for Kerr? He seems to really know the game and he's pretty legendary for being a great communicator with his players. They actually seem to have fun (give or take a few games of the finals, ha).

    EDIT: if this noise is true about GS, and I actually don't think it is yet, then that would mean his OKC meeting tonight is to tell them the bad news in person.

    Really didn't the dubs lead the league in 30+ assists games this year. They could of had 40+ assist a game if you consider all the wide open shots Barnes and pint blank hooks bogut missed every game. Shows how much you you know about the game milk hair lover.

    Would Durant be the villain in the NBA if he goes to the Warriors right?

    So every reporter is going to chime in with a meaningless tidbit to act like they have a lead now?

    I still think he stays, he was one game away from the finals and it was really his and Westbrook's fault in the end for not trusting the team that gave them their lead in the first place. But it would be the biggest move since LeBron one and LeBron two.

    What would the Warriors have to do to make room for KD?

    I know let go of Barnes and Ezeli.

    Would they have to move one of Bogut or Iggy?

    Likely Bogut. Iggy was in the pitch meeting to Durant, so I doubt it would be him.

    I think Durant would actually save the Warriors from being a bad boy team.

    Absolutely, they're also going to match Ezeli which is younger than Bogut, even if he's not as good.

    They may not match Ezeli if he gets one of these crazy deals. They literally drafted his replacement (guy that followed him at Vandy).

    Thought Durant wanted to be the number one option.

    But is this guy ready to be a starter in a championship team?

    Ezeli will probably get more money than Bogut, but until they match the offer sheet his cap hold is pretty low (i think around 4 or 5 million)

    He never said that to anyone. He wants to WIN and gsw gives that option easily.
