“It’s been hectic”, Durant said.

The All-Star shooting tandem made it clear during a meeting last weekend that he would be a ideal fit with the Warriors. I felt hurt for [Steph], and I didn’t mean to offend anybody. It was organic, it was authentic, it was real. “I feel excited about this opportunity”.
Splash! Golden State had a superstar cast. He announced last Tuesday that he will sign with the Warriors – a team that won the NBA Championship a year ago, and just fell one game short in this year’s Finals series.
So, what’s next? Seventy-four wins and a title?
Ayesha Curry says she “didn’t think about the ramifications” when she called the NBA rigged on Twitter after husband Stephen Curry’s Golden State Warriors lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 6 of the NBA Finals. We want to get better. You grew up rooting for that same team all your life, and you’ll even be that one jerk cheering for them in a different city when you move.
Durant might be able to match his coach’s wit, too.
The two old pals shared a great hug.
The Magic also announced the re-signing of their own restricted free agent Evan Fournier, who declined more lucrative offers to remain on the team he has been with for the past two seasons.
The high-tech effort paid off, as KD, of course, left the Oklahoma City Thunder team that he had played with for all nine years of his National Basketball Association career to sign with the Warriors on a two-year, $54.3 million deal earlier this week. First of all, it assumes that Durant is going to opt out next season no matter what. He’s here to win a championship. 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. “But that just shows you what kind of character he has”. I’m honored you’re here, I’m honored you chose us. “It’s a wonderful feeling”.
“I know her intentions”, Curry told People. Then he woke up first thing Monday with more clarity. “I went out of my comfort zone”.

This, he said, is the harder route – “It was time for me to try something new, try a new challenge. No better place to do it than here”. “Tears were shed. I trusted my gut”, he said. Of course, we now know he made a decision to leave to play with the Warriors instead of playing against them. “The majority of decisions that were made for Kevin were made by me or his mom”. “I know where she was coming from”.
