The Golden State Warriors have achieved the coup of the summer, convincing Kevin Durant to leave a championship contender in the Oklahoma City Thunder to join what should be an NBA Dynasty in the Bay.

Miller is yet another player that is known by that same distinction of having never won a ring, and he took his turn at Kevin Durant in an essay posted on Bleacher Report.
After being drafted, Durant immediately made his presence felt as he would go on to be named as the NBA Rookie of the Year.
This makes official the move that Durant announced Monday with an essay on The Players’ Tribune as the Warriors collect the biggest prize available in free agency, at least when considering it is expected LeBron James will resign with Cleveland after opting out of his contract. “I don’t think the games will be the same”, said Chris Holbrook. “Because just like it meant more to LeBron to win one in Cleveland, it would mean more to Kevin to win one in Oklahoma than it would be in Golden State”. I was disappointed like I was disappointed when LeBron went to Miami.
The 2.06-meter Durant took the Thunder to the brink of victory against Golden State in the Western Conference finals last season, inspiring his team to a 3-1 series lead before the Warriors fought back to win 4-3. Now a lot of us are gonna ask, “Why can’t we just skip to the NBA Finals for next year already?” Bringing three albeit great players together who have barely played with one another was always going to have the teething issues we saw in Miami, giving a team like the Dallas Mavericks a chance to swoop in and nab one.
National Basketball Association fans are anxious to see the new look Golden State Warriors.
Oklahoma City is still reeling from the departure of Kevin Durant and with the impending doom and rebuild that seems to be around the corner, the sports fans in the town have plunged into a dark depression that is likely to hang over their heads for a very long time. “We thank him for his leadership, his play, and how he represented Oklahoma City and the entire state of Oklahoma”.
Bovada doesn’t expect the Warriors to repeat their record-breaking regular season next year.
West has been a focal point for many of his past teams including the great runs he had with the New Orleans Pelicans and the Indiana Pacers. “There are no words to express what the organization and the community mean to me, and what they will represent in my life and in my heart forever”. You can’t get that back.
