They have a thread on OKC's message board encouraging fans not to burn jerseys. Suggestions so far are: throw them in the trash, use them for the bottom of the bird cage, use for washing car, wiping rear end, wiping after sexual activity.

I guess i'm not surprised. Seems to be the culture of the nba these days. How much better can the warriors really get, 82-0?
KD is def better than a 9 win player.

Knowing sports fans, I wish you were right.
If GSW wins, he'll be hated more. lol

who hates him? dude wants a ring...this is the best way to get it. I don't like what it will do to the competitiveness of the NBA, but he gets 27mm next year to join a 70 win team...
if he doesn't win - he will catch unbelievable flack.
People who like to hate others who are successful. Which is a LOT of people. Similar to LeBron but not as big as LeBron, at least so far. I couldn't care, personally.

LeBron left a team that was legitimately awful besides him. Durant is leaving a team that had one of the 5 best players in the world on it in addition to a very good supporting cast.
I think there's more to it than that. Durant staying in OKC would have been good for OKC but there's more money to be made through the SF Bay Area, not just for Durant. Kobe was already on the Lakers. Sadly, this is exposing that certain franchises will continue to make corporations and players more money than others.

This was not a financial decision, that's pretty obvious, he took less money, and Los Angeles would've been the place to go if it was about money.
Their is a reason why DeAndre Jordan, Blake Griffin, and Chris Paul are on just about every NBA commercial.

I was critical of LeBron for two reasons. Forming a super team is weak, and taking a pay cut to make it happen is weak. Same here except Durant isn't taking a pay cut, but it's still weak. If he wins a chip in my mind it will lessen the value

It has been reported that Steph, Dray, and Klay have been recruiting KD the entire season. I imagine they are elated.

Lol, wins 73 games and still aren't confident enough in yourselves to win without another top 5 player.
Oh that's right you choked just about a week ago.
Good luck next year.

Three free agents conspiring to join a team, one with a TV special and leaving his home town vs one player getting a contract.
I'm happy for Kevin.
At what point are the GSW supposed to not try to improve their team?

This is a problem with the salary cap / collective bargaining...
Harrison Barnes was terrible in the playoffs... He gets $24mm per year from Dallas and GSW get KD for $27mm. They should be allowed to pay superstars more but with a bad cap hit to go to a new team.

Lebron gets more hate in general even before "the decision", Durant isn't measured against the all time greats the way Lebron is with Durant its can he win a championships with Lebron its how many can he win since he is the Chosen One, and King James etc.

I honestly don't like this move at all. KD is all offense all the time. Does GS really need that? They won 73 freaking games last year. How many basketballs do they think there are to go around with Curry avg. 30 and Green and Thompson both capable of getting you 20+ apiece? They got beat because they lacked physical toughness on the inside. Lebron overpowered them single handed in the final 3 games of the series. Unless they plan on moving Thompson for some physical toughness I don't see how this deal makes much sense.

In fairness to Lebron, "The Decision" was likely 99% ESPN's doing with Nike's urging. As for leaving his hometown team, one could argue that he gave them everything he had, but knew it would never be enough. He literally willed one of the worst collections of talent to The NBA Finals versus The Spurs. He didn't owe Cleveland the prime years of his career where he could be chasing rings, if there was no indication that the talent level around him was going to be raised. Durant made an NBA Finals with talent around him in Westbrook, Harden and Ibaka, that Lebron could only dream about. Durant's decision reaks of if you can't beat them you might as well join them.

Are you insane? And under contract for a few years Jordan along with an all star PG for a couple months of Westbrook? Posting as working on year two of a rookie contract for a couple months of Westbrook? Isaiah Thomas isn't making the decisions for the Knicks any longer and Donald Sterling no longer runs the Clippers.
