    Lol the thread is about Durant NOT considering Houston and yet there's 100's of comments on here talking about the possibility of him being on our roster. I would love to have him, but let's move on already.

    Harden plays well against LeBron so I would think that the Rockets just went up on KDs list a few notches with the Cavs championship.

    Marc ****ing Stein doesn't get the last word on this subject.

    King Drew does.

    Uh, a bunch of people said Dwight wasn't coming here either but he did.

    Anyway, if you sober up can you tell us what an "all stat game" is? Thanks for clarifying dribble past vs dribble pass. That was very thoughtful of you. It seems like you are very careful about what you are saying. You seem to think it through before you hit 'Submit Reply'.

    But there's no way you're going to compete with our actual front court. You can have Durant, Harden and Conley which on paper is good but, personally, i think they will be too much, call me crazy but that's what i fear, there's still one ball out there.

    To me Horford makes more sense overall, we need a front court player if Dwight is gone, you have no chance to compete in the west if your front court is Capela and Beasely/Harrell (who is a med rebounder as today)...maybe D.Mo (don't know if he's staying, if he's going to be healty...). And what about hack? If they hack Capela you don't have a center to finish games, with Horford you have one. And he's also a very good passer, having a big who can pass would help us a lot.

    Btw Lowe said months ago that he heard from a reliable source that Durant likes Horford so...

    The Warriors are reportedly going to make Kevin Durant their top offseason priority this summer.
    It would be a surprise to see Durant pass up millions by not re-signing with Oklahoma City, the Warriors may represent the best shot at a title for the 27-year-old. While the Warriors will have plenty of company as they vie for Durant's services, we'll keep a close eye on this situation as Golden State's pitch to Durant could prove too tempting to pass up.

    Barnes is gone. Durant's best shot at a title if he doesn't resign with OKC is the Dubs hands down. Curry, Thompson and Green are all in their prime.

    If Durant joined the Warriors (which I don't see as so easy or even likely), the NBA would be, basically, the Warriors and everyone else for the next several seasons.

    Yep, personally though, i really don't think he's going there, he wants to win but not sure he wants it that way. And if he goes there he will always be in the shadow of the unanimous mvp, i think he doesn't like the idea of play in Curry's team...i'd say the Spurs have a lot more chances than the Warriors.

    Don't see that happening. Durant is a competitor. Going to the warriors is not being a competitor.

    I like Bledsoe but he is often injured but the ROX should take a chance if he is available. I like the starting 5 and most forget Smoove has some value still as a reserve and starter in some lineups. Adding Durant ,Bledsoe and Whiteside make the Rockets a contender. Keeping Smoove , Dmo, Bev ,KJ and Harrell should be priority also (maybe Brew).

    You add a PG with westbrook talent but not the same athlete in Bledsoe

    You add a C who is better than Ibaka

    You add Durant

    and another top 5 player in Harden....:eek:

    Gotta take any information that comes out about KD with a grain of salt. The team that actually knows information is very small and they don't leak info.

    Meanwhile, his free agency is the biggest story of this offseason. Every sports outlet or blog is going to be pushing out KD stories all summer. These writers have to put something out there. They're all likely just speculating.
