But the four-time National Basketball Association scoring champion felt it was time to begin a new chapter in his career, so after nine seasons in Oklahoma City, he left the Thunder to join forces with Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and the rest of the Warriors. Kevin Durant has left the team for greener pastures in the Golden State Warriors. Sure, we’ve never seen anything like what Golden State has assembled – the last two MVP winners on the same team, at their prime – but combining good players through trades and free agency isn’t groundbreaking. “With this in mind, I have decided that I am going to join the Golden State Warriors”, Durant wrote in the article.

“That call to Oklahoma City was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do in my life”, Durant said.
I’m disappointed like I was disappointed when LeBron went to Miami. “We would be very formidable”, Barkley said in July 1996, a month before he was dealt. What I didn’t truly understand, however, was the range of emotions I would feel during this process. By moving to the Warriors, Durant has a new, larger fan base to appeal to, a new team, and a better shot at winning championships and becoming more popular.
“We develop this thing where you keep telling these guys, ‘Hey man, if you don’t win a championship you’re a bum.’ I don’t feel like a bum”, he said on the morning radio show. But when he beat them and won the championship, it meant more. “It may seem like I took the easiest route, but I think this is the hardest route for me”. Or are you going to sit one of these guys (I guess Iguodala) then bring back Ezeli to start him? “You can not look at anything he did here and say it was anything but positive”. “That’s always gonna be a part of who I am”.
The Warriors also shared video of KD “getting buckets”-in reality, he sunk a mid-range jumper and a lazy lay-up while wearing street clothes-in their facilities as he got familiar with his new home”. The Thunder at one time had Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant, Serge Ibaka and James Harden, but still could not get the job done.
