The Golden State Warriors entered the NBA offseason having just blown a 3-1 series lead and failing to defend their NBA title. But after a disappointing ending to a record-setting season, they were looking to add more. That more would come in the form of the “Slim Reaper”, Kevin Durant. Adding Durant to what already was a “Super Team” certainly makes them look unbeatable.
The Memphis Grizzlies didn’t have the luxury of adding a superstar like Durant to their team this offseason. But coming off an injury-riddled season, they knew they had to add someone to help bring a championship to the city of Memphis.
