LAS VEGAS —- Less than a week has gone by, and Warriors fans and media types still have trouble wrestling with one question.
Why would Kevin Durant leave the Warriors for the Brooklyn Nets? Why would he leave a team where he won two NBA titles and two Finals MVP’s? Why would he leave a team that has Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green? Why would he leave a team that could pay him $221 million through five years? Durant has not spoken publicly about his reasons. All along, though, Durant left clues. He has a strong friendship with Kyrie Irving.
