Rumors of Kevin Durant joining the Golden State Warriors have been floating around since last year, but the idea wasn’t conceivable until this summer.
Most believed that Durant would either stick with the Oklahoma City Thunder or return home to play for the Washington Wizards. Any other idea just didn’t seem very realistic.
Professional athletes, being the competitors they are, rarely join the team that just eliminated them in the playoffs.
After squandering a 3-1 series lead against the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals, I was certain that Durant would run it back with the Thunder.
