Kevin Durant is enjoying himself in Brooklyn, he is the leader of one of the best teams in the NBA, and he should fight for a new ring in end of season. In fact, he feels so good with the Nets that he doesn’t see himself leaving until he retires, and either way, there is a franchise he won’t set foot in.
Kevin Durant is at the dawn of a great season with his Nets. Already, he will attack this new exercise recovered after the elimination in the conference semi-finals against the Bucks, and when we see what he was capable of last season, we hardly dare to imagine the damage he will cause in the next months. All the more so that he will have a title of best player on the planet to assume !
And then the Olympic champion will evolve in one of, if not the best team in the league. Kyrie Irving and James Harden are still there, so trigger Joe Harris and the precious Blake Griffins and Bruce Brown, and the Brooklyn executives have additionally offered the services of Patty Mills, Paul Millsap, and LaMarcus Aldridge after a short retirement. In fact, all the elements are there to play flamboyant basketball.
Under these conditions, we better understand the extension until 2026 of the winger. He’s expected to win one or more rings yet, he’s playing with his best friends, so he has no reason to leave New York. He does not want it anyway, and he “despises” moreover particularly a franchise in which he does not see himself playing at all. He explained himself in the Wall Street Journal.
I thought about finally going back to Oklahoma City, to find this city and this audience, but I don’t trust absolutely anyone in this franchise. Everything they did was hypocritical. The executives, the GM, I haven’t spoken to anyone since I left. They are so toxic. Is everyone freaking out because I left the franchise? Seriously?
Unlike LeBron James, who returned to Cleveland after his time in Miami, Kevin Durant does not see himself in the franchise in which he exploded, the fault of hypocritical leaders according to him. When we see the current state of the workforce, he could not in any case satisfy his ambition with the young guard of the Thunder. The nostalgic can always enjoy a few highlights, that’s always it …
Kevin Durant and the Thunder, it’s a story definitely over… Too bad, the fans will not be entitled to a return full nostalgia a few years from now. Unless the management changes.
