    Basically KD is just a guy who can help a 72-win team win one more game.

    If Durant didn't go a miserable 10-31 from the field in game 6 his former team would of beaten his current team easily

    If you can't beat them join them....literally. What a ring chaser

    I'm no expert, but I'm kind of confused by two years also. Even one year would make more sense, but I guess the cap will be even more ridiculous in 2 years and he'll still have a great market for his services.

    Man he pretty much just said **** you to his OKC family. It's not like they weren't competitive. They were contenders. p***y move.

    So, he'll help Curry get a ring, then bolt by opting out with his PO, and this all starts over again next year, but this time with WB as a FA, too.

    The Lebron issue was not that he left - it's the way he went about it. Not giving Cleveland a courtesy. "Taking my talents". A whole show about him. etc.

    It's really a one year deal. He'll opt out next year and sign a gigantic deal with the even-higher salary cap. GSW will have the cap space next year.

    Has any team in the history of the game ever had 4 all stars and maybe borderline superstars still very much in their prime?

    Did you or have you changed your thought process on some things, if not most things, in six years?
