Warriors official: Without Nash, ‘I’m not sure if we get’ Durant

He repeated those sentiments in describing the fit with his new teammates, saying, “It was natural, it was authentic, and it was real”.

Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson, Andre Iguodala and Shaun Livingston remain, of course, as do James Michael McAdoo, Kevon Looney and Ian Clark. Durant felt that they genuinely enjoyed playing the game with each other. “I feel excited about this opportunity”. In the end, the togetherness Warriors’ top players provided a window into the organization’s family atmosphere.

“He’s a guy that’s on top of the world right now”, Durant said. Don’t worry about what people are going to say.

But for Nash, the back-to-back MVP in 2005 and 06, the wheeling and dealing would really be good for the league and the players, especially to the lesser known stars. He showed that he was all in on this thing. “I know where she was coming from”. If the Warriors were to win the championship, and Durant knew that the team would be in for a challenge to move enough contracts to re-sign him after he opted out, it’s plausible that he’d opt in and continue trying to win championships with this team. “To play with them and play our style, I think that was attractive to him”. “Tears were shed. I trusted my gut”, he said.

Ayesha’s rant on Twitter last month nearly became the center of attention during the 2016 NBA Finals series because of the allegations she made against the professional basketball league.

Durant will wear #35 for the Warriors.

National Basketball Association owners are handing out money faster than a bank teller, in hopes of landing the “right players” to turn their franchises into the next Cavaliers, Warriors or Heat. “Nothing more than that”.
