2016 Official NBA Off-Season Thread: Former Greatness

"Three weeks ago, Kevin Durant’s sitting there at dinner, telling him 'Hey, I’m coming back, man. Don’t worry about it.' And now, Russell Westbrook has been kind of thrown into this in having to decide his future a summer earlier than expected.

"Kevin Durant, more so than even that, was telling people, 'Hey, yeah, I mean I’m coming back.' Like I said in there, a week before Kevin Durant sat down in the Hamptons, he was in Oklahoma City ready to make an offer on a multi-million-dollar house. So, the guy was pretty serious about coming back, and then things turned rather quickly for him to leave. And there’s no doubt that the organization felt a little bit burned by this."

is that the beta version?
 
Royce Young was shielding Durant from any slander pre-July. Since Durant left, he's letting the choppa fly.
 
I can't wait for the next story to take the league by storm. I'm already over the whole Durant saga. Not sure I'm going to be able to stomach the constant *****ing all year long.
 
When you have a story like KD's, this can cook in the media for months or years, or until he does something better or worse.

NBA's version of deflate-gate. That story that won't die and each time they/we/I talk about it like its brand new

There are way too many story lines.

Bruh, you know how when you watch a movie and a song comes on and it gets you hype or give you goosebumps?

Like when you used to watch Karate Kid and the theme song came on and you'd be up play fighting with your friends getting hyped?

That's what I imagine when KD said he woke up and knew he was going to GSW, and went and woke everyone up and told them.

Like I think he was just laying there and then something like < the song California Love came on and he got real hyped, then started thinkking about cruising the Strip with SNOOP and red Carpets and stepping outside his comfort zone, and he sold himself on leaving. (and getting a PAC tattoo)

I bet it was something as simple as a song, movie, tweet, Rap LYRIC that pushed him to Cali. 

Impressionable for sure. (not an entirely bad thing either)

Every time a player leaves we get all these reports about how close he was to staying or signing with a different team. I don't think it's news that Durant was strongly considering re-signing. Soon we'll be hearing about just how close he was going to Boston or the Clippers.

you didn't see the picture that surfaced around the time of prince's death?

 
thought it was pretty well known how much the thunder control the local media..

KD got the kid gloves treatment
 
Maybe one day this thread will reach the levels of great conversation that I'm sure is taking place in the Lakers thread.

Which reminds me. Are Lakers fans rooting against their team again or is this the year you guys start rooting for the team to win?
