What are your thoughts on his decision. How will this change OKC next year?

Is this different that what everyone hates LeBron for doing to Cleveland?

Nonsense KD has all the money he could ever spend right now, much less another 10+ years of playing time. It ain't money.

He wants the ring. He'll get it there most likely but he'll have to play with thugs and whiney bitches to get it. Based on his statement as to why he's going, his personal stuff, I think it's all hogwash. Makes no sense unless he's actually NOT really the squared away kid he's portrayed to be in the media. Hmmm. Hope he enjoys that ring...
 
Can't blame him. I'd leave in a heart beat if it meant winning a championship. How loyal are fans when players have a bad year?

There's absolutely nothing to hold a wealthy, unmarried, young sports professional to Oklahoma.

And yet you still shoot with us. Thank you for your sacrifice on behalf of all boomer shooters.

$25M a year to go to the best team in the league? You don't even want to know what I'd do for that kinda $.
 
The guy put a lot of his time in the community helping out with raising money after moore got destroyed in the tornados , even putting up his own money, holding camps for kids and when he wants to leave to go get a ring a cement himself as one of the greats, people burn his jerseys and question his character. Sounds like a bunch of sooner fans.
 
I look at it like he's taking the easy road to a ring and that he's only damaging himself.

In OKC he was adored. In commieforinia he's just another superstar on the roster. He'll actually not get the respect that he deserves because Curry and Thompson are actually better than he is. I'm not burning jerseys, I don't even have any. I pretty much "checked out" of the NBA when Thunder ownership came out anti-gun and they were really all that was holding my interest anyway. I do like the drama of it all though...

Curry is definitely a better shooter but player? Nah. And even trying to say thompson is better than durant is borderline insanity. Ive yet to hear his name thrown into any kind of talk that closely resembles mvp conversation.

He left a team in okc that had a bunch of potential but also a lot of withdraws. A team that had more 4th quarter blown leads in the history of the game plus a soon to be free agent in westbrook that has already bought a house in California and a rookie coach that has a histoty of blowing his ability to coach in the moment. Donovan had the same issues when he coached in florida. I think the sting comes from durant going to the team that bumped them out of the playoffs. Not THAT he left

Maybe so but I believe that Curry and Thompson can have valid arguments as to whose better at draining 3s. I ain't going to go look but I think they are #1 & #2 for the most 3s in a single game. And they've both scored enough points on 3 point shots alone to outscore the other team's entire starting roster in a game. That's a serious accomplishment.

That's definitely a good part of it. That's why I'm basically saying he's not doing himself any favors. Everyone knows he'll get that ring, and probably next year if they all stay uninjured. And with him only signing a 2 year deal out there he may look to jump ship again after that ring is on his finger. Wouldn't surprise me a bit either if he looks to comes back to OKC.
See above.

draining 3s, sure but that hardly equates to a better basketball player. Noone can legitimately say durant is the 3rd best player on that team. His contract leaves it open to do exactly what lebron did, opt out and get more money. I highly doubt durant pull a lebron move and leave to come back to okc. I think he'll spend tje better part of the remaining years of his career there in golden state. They just became the nba version of the new England Patriots. Always a great possibility of winning it all.
 
If they keep that winning mojo he may well stay there. Who would blame him? But he's been portrayed as making decisions not in accordance with the expected norms in the past, so who knows? I honestly don't think even he knows what he wants other than that ring.
