The All-Star shooting tandem made it clear during a meeting last weekend that he would be a flawless fit with the Warriors.

Curry tells People magazine she regrets the ways she voiced how hurt she was and didn’t mean to offend anyone.
“When I met these guys, I felt as comfortable as I’ve ever felt”, Durant said. It was a feeling I couldn’t ignore. He saw an opportunity to win in Golden State. Regardless of what happens, the team that gets affected by this is the Golden State Warriors. “You’d be in a life situation which gives you the best to win”. He had all the power to choose where he wanted to go within the rules and construct of the game. We were the villains (in the Finals) so we will be more prepared.
Durant might be able to match his coach’s wit, too.
Durant’s move places him alongside another two-time MVP in Stephen Curry.
“I’m excited for the Warriors”. They spoke on condition of anonymity because deals could not be signed until Thursday. Indeed, players like James and Durant have been signing short-term deals with the specific intent of being free agents next summer and cashing in on the expanded salary cap.
Ayesha Curry, the wife of reigning unanimous MVP and Golden State Warriors star player Stephen Curry, admitted that her rant about the National Basketball Association during the finals was made during the heat of the moment.
“It was the same thing a year ago”, he said.
Here’s where it gets challenging from the Warriors point of view: Durant has an option to opt out after one season. By having this mega lineup at the start of the season, there’s no guarantee that Warriors general manager Bob Myers will keep his mega team by season’s end. “So it’s exciting. I think its great for the game”.
Durant even spoke to Hall of Famer Jerry West along the way to help him weigh his choice. “There’s a lot more serious things going on in the world”. “I went out of my comfort zone”.

A person with knowledge of the negotiations tells The Associated Press that Dewayne Dedmon has agreed to terms on a two-year, $6 million contract with the San Antonio Spurs. “No better place to do it than here”. Of course, we now know he chose to leave to play with the Warriors instead of playing against them. I don’t treat people any differently because I made the decision to play basketball in another city. “If you said you’re from Oklahoma City, they’re likely to say Kevin Durant or they’re likely to say OKC Thunder”.
