Durant meeting?

[Big Empty]

From the lack of news, i guess it was a dud? Smh :( this time last year, we were all excited LM commited.

[dabom]

Didn't he sign on the 3rd or 4th?

[Mr. Body]

It sounds peculiarly short, compared to some of the other teams.

[Mister Sinister]

Tbh I wouldn't expect much news about it in either direction.

[baseline bum]

I can't imagine he'd leave, but he did shut down the Thunder's attempts to land Horford by refusing to commit.

[Leetonidas]

ours wasnt shorter it was about 2 hrs like the others except for the clips who he was blown away by supposedly...until they resigned Austin rivers and eliminated themselves from the running :lol

[Mr. Body]

Interesting stuff about OKC, sounds like they kind of whiffed it a little.

[AFBlue]

There may be some "wrap-up" reporting tonight about the meetings as a whole and a characterization of where Durant stands relative to staying or leaving. Might not get that til after Miami tomorrow though.

[Mr. Body]

I hope for their sake OKC wasn't banking on recruiting Hirford. That's a bad pitch.

[Mr. Body]

It'd be an interesting San in the back if Durant instead follows Horford to Boston.

[Leetonidas]

With the way Riley has treated Wade I wouldn't be surprised if KD is wary about going to Miami

[Chillen]

It's probably between Warriors and OKC at this point tbh, I would love it if he chose to sign with the Spurs.

[r0drig0lac]

he's going to Boston

[SpursFan86]

Regardless of how the meeting went, this just doesn't have the same feeling as last year with LMA. I was fairly confident LA would come here last offseason...or I at least thought we had as good of a chance as anyone to land him.

With Durant, I don't feel like that at all. OKC just eliminated us in the playoffs. They were a game 6 chokejob away from beating the 73-win Warriors and advancing to the Finals. Spurs have Kawhi/Aldridge, but outside of that the team is a pretty big question mark with Duncan/Manu possibly retiring + SA having to get rid of more guys to make room for him. It just makes 10x more sense for him to sign a 1-year deal with OKC. Give it one more shot with Westbrook, and then next offseason they'll both be FAs and can decide whether they want to stick around or not. This way also gives him the most money as well.

Not saying there's no way KD comes here...but I'd be pretty shocked if he does. Just interested to see what the Spurs' plan B will be once he chooses somewhere else.

[Mr. Body]

Plan B is probably sign Gasol and say goodbye to Duncan.

[Chillen]

he's going to Boston

It is the easier road to the Finals despite having to go through Cleveland.

[Russ]

Did we at least cry?

[Mr. Body]

I'm feeling Boston too. Just because.

[r0drig0lac]

It is the easier road to the Finals despite having to go through Cleveland.

yes, the Celtics can still get an all star (Butler, cousins, etc.), they have great defensive players (Crowder, Bradley, intelligent), picks lottery and cap

[AFBlue]

Did we at least cry?

:lol

You're counting on RC, Pop, Duncan and Aldridge to show emotion? If only Kawhi could be there.

[spurs10]

Plan B is probably sign Gasol and say goodbye to Duncan. I'm thinking this with Tim sticking around for one more spin.




You're counting on RC, Pop, Duncan and Aldridge to show emotion? If only Kawhi could be there. :lol Not sure I'd like to play poker with any of those guys.

[ulosturedge]

What does anyone expect to hear? There was no reactions on any meetings except the Clippers and they moved on lol. I'd rather not hear anything until he makes a decision. Anyone elses opinion would be hearsay at this point anyways.

They can't get another near max contract if they get Durant, Jamison Crowder isn't a great defensive player, and they're mostly out of picks now... they're a middling East team without Durant and will be a distant #2 behind the Meat Cleavers with him.

He might prefer a business meeting to a bunch of guys staging a high school pep rally. I'm sure the Spurs presented who they are, and didn't bullshit him. That takes a lot less time, and if he wants what they offered, he'll be in silver and black. If not, the presentation wouldn't have mattered anyway.

Well seeing as how he is publicly talking about the other meetings and not this one it either went so well he wants to keep it under wraps as a deal is made, or it went not as well as the other meetings.

KD knew where he was going before the end of the season. It's just a dog a pony show now.

[spurtech09]

Lets just move on.....Durant is not coming to the Spurs....:(

[Marcus Bryant]

Much of the appeal for Durant in OKC has to be Westbrook staying there long-term from a competitiveness pov. Without that assurance, there is a decent chance he leaves. I would think GS is the top choice outside of OKC as has been reported.

Anyways, the new cap NBA is insane. Good thing the Spurs locked in those guys last summer at the old rates.

[TheGoldStandard]

:pop: Okay... This is what I envision for our offense with you KD.. Come over here and stand right here.. Okay, any second now Parker is going to pass the ball to you.. any second now.. shot clocks at 5 so get ready..

[james evans]

ok everyone answer this for me, why would durant go to the Warriors? If they would give him max, they would not be able to give max to curry, Green, and Thompson. And if you think those 3 guys are taking a pay cut and handing over the keys to the city to Durant, you're crazy. Not in their prime they aren't. They've already got a title and lost in the finals this year. this isn't a Heat/Lebron situation here

[ducks]

Clippers been told Durant will not take his talents their

[Keepin' it real]

It will be funny if all the teams courting Durant move on, forcing him to re-sign with OKC, then Westbrook, who's watching all this and feeling no love from KD, leaves OKC next season. I can totally see that happening.

They have Bird Rights, they can max Curry, and Thompson and Green are locked up already until 2019-20. He'd go to the Warriors because they'd be the most stacked team in league history by far.

My inside sauces tell me that Durant to Golden State is a done deal because Steve Kerr started crying in their 9 hour meeting and Curry tickled his balls while blowing him.

Even with Westool in the bag its a 2 man show and West tends to brick a lot, in SA he could have more help, more rest and still be among the best of the west, at least on paper because our bench proved to be a tsunami of disappointments.

[Keepin' it real]

Can you imagine the collective gasp from the national media if Durant signs with the Spurs??? I would laugh. :lol

[baseline bum]

I really get the feeling he is not coming to SA. He will go back to the thunder.

You always had to figure it would be a longshot. This isn't like LMA bailing off a sinking ship to a franchise with stability. Durant would be a leaving a top title contender that just got a lot better for a team that might not be as good. If he comes to the Spurs he's in a monster starting lineup with Leonard and Aldridge, but what's the depth like when the Spurs have to salary dump multiple players to fit his contract in? Meanwhile he has a monster starting lineup in OKC with Westbrook, Adams, Oladipo. But he has a bench too with guys like Waiters, Roberson, and Ilyasova. I think he'd be a fool to leave. Though he should have committed to OKC today so they could dump Kanter for Horford. Maybe he didn't want to look unprofessional canceling his meetings when teams were flying out to his place, but it cost his team big.

I think the report was talking about how the Celtics brought in Brady, and signed Horford and how that overshadowed everyone for the day because of what they did. It's going to be a tough choice for Kevin but I think we have a good shot at him as another of those other teams.

[look_at_g_shred]

One thing the Spurs have that the others don't is Pop. Who of Which, KD always speaks so highly of. I'm sure all of kd's basketball concerns were answered along with a different insight on life.

[AFMadison]

I get the feeling it's the Spurs tbh. They have more money to offer, he's wanting to focus strictly on basketball which is I'm sure all that the Spurs pitched. KD got to hear LMA tell him how great of a decision it was for him. It's got to be nice for KD to see that a free agent like LMA come in and immediately gain enough respect to travel and recruit others the following year. KD is also very familiar with the state. He's got huge respect for Pop. I think it's Spurs over any outsiders.
KD wants to focus on basketball and Bostons trying to recruit him with NFL players :lol
Come on ST... Do you really expect the media to hype up San Antonio as the favorites. Let's be patient and see if PATFO can get another meeting, or hopefully those two hours hit home with KD.

I mean come on ST... All we heard today was KD being blown away by the clippers and they have already been ruled out...

Waiters is probably leaving tho no? and I think dipo for ibaka doesn't really make them better. they need shooters imo

[DenialTwist]

If KD goes to the Warriors, they will be even more unbearable to watch. All the gloating, showboating and Draymond's smug face after KD announces he's a Warrior.

[r0drig0lac]

Bonner! Yes I agree.

do not forget fat Diaw

[mudyez]

Lets say you have the following options:

he goes to...
a) BOS 100%
b) GS 33% /SA 33% / OKC 34%

What would you chose?

[GSH]

USA Today recognizes the East Coast, the West Coast, and all the little nobodies in between. They literally could have written that article the day before the meeting even happened, and had it ready to publish. The East Coast/ West Coast sportswriter bias is the reason the college football rankings had to start incorporating a more objective computer evaluation.

The Spurs haven't made any obvious moves toward a Plan B, like the Clippers, so it seems like they must still think they are in the running. I really don't know about Durant, but some guys are less impressed by a dog and pony show than others. I guess we'll see how impressed he is by Horford.

[tholdren]

ITS NOT HAPPENING.... KD more like GAY-D.

[SPURt]

This is going to be a big homer opinion but... KD is a fool for choosing anyone outside of the Spurs or Warriors. The Spurs are a better choice of all the 4 options.

1. Boston- they lack a top 5 player or a champion on the roster. If you need to bring a player from a team not in your sport to show championships you shouldn't be considered.

2. OKC- Westbrook is arguably a top 5 player but he isn't a champion for a reason. He takes poor shots and often plays selfishly. Does KD really like playing with him? Also, Westbrook can't make KD's job easier on defense as he can only gaurd 1/2s. Westbrook will also age with Durant as they are similar in age.

3. GSW- they have champions and a top 5 player. Curry had serious injury concerns a few years ago, is the same age as Westbrook and has had great luck with health. The NBA is figuring out you need to beat the hell out of Curry. Draymond does offer help on D. None are as young as Kawhi. Who's going to sacrifice stats to defer to KD?

4. SAS- purely from a basketball standpoint KD would pick the Spurs. His career longevity and overall health will be prioritized. Kawhi will be able to defend the better of any of their assignments. As KD ages Kawhi will be enough years behind him that he can carry the workload as KD needs to unload some of his load in his twilight. LMA is the best big on any of the team's mentioned. I know Draymond plays great on the Warriors but he would look like butt on another team.

If I had to pick a Spur to pitch LMA was the right choice. He is a longhorn and can tell Durant what his transition to the Spurs has been like. The media is really pushing for any team but the Spurs. Any team, except Boston, that KD chooses will be favored to ring next year. I don't think Westbrook's game translates to championships and it's hard to imagine the depth GSW and the Spurs lose to get KD.

At at the end of the day, I don't think his decision will be the Spurs.

[baseline bum]

Yes, everyone who doesn't sign with the Spurs is "gay". "So what if Durant didn't come to the Spurs? We didn't want his gay ass on the team anyway."

I've heard that Ferraris don't get good gas mileage. They're gay, too.

[Mr. Body]

If he's close to the Warrios, why are they going for Crawford? How many shooters do they need?

[bigfan]

USA Today reported that the Celtics' meeting with Durant "overshadowed" his meeting with the Spurs.

People read the Washington Post for the politics, they read the Wall Street Journal for business news and they read USA Today for the color weather maps.

[Uriel]

No one but Durant truly knows what he’s thinking, of course, which means it’s armchair psychology time all around. But when considering this Boston meeting that clearly overshadowed the San Antonio Spurs visit that preceded it, it’s best to remember that Durant has always had a certain affinity for the Celtics organization.

"Clearly overshadowed" in terms of its magnitude, not impact, the same way the Clippers' meeting clearly overshadowed the GSW meeting in terms of sheer time. Time, as it turns out, well wasted. Of course the article cops out by saying "no one truly knows" before proceeding with garbage.

[SpursFan86]

Much of the appeal for Durant in OKC has to be Westbrook staying there long-term from a competitiveness pov. Without that assurance, there is a decent chance he leaves.

Thing is, Durant doesn't have to sign a long-term deal. Your reasoning is exactly why I and many others believe he'll simply sign a 1-year max deal with OKC and then become a FA again next year. Gives him one more shot at winning with Westbrook and OKC before they both become FAs. If the season goes well, they can both re-sign with OKC. If not, they'll go their separate ways. This also stands to make him the most money, since the cap will be at it's highest next year.

It just makes too much sense for him to do that.

It just makes too much sense for him to do that.

there's too much risk in signing a one year deal whenever you have the chance to sign for 4 to five years guaranteed...and kd already said he wants a long term deal and stability. That's why, I think, we're still in...and we make the most sense for him.
Everybody can praise the draft movement of okc how much they want, but the fact is that the defensive stability and outside shooting given by Ibaka is gone, and a new balance in okc is still to be found and it will take time. imho still with kd in they are not going to be considered improved from last season...

Gs is a good chance of winning...but a poor professional choice and also a risky one, considering that he would need to limit to a great deal his number of shooting chances, that it would be considered in the eyes of everyone the "easy choice", and that he's gonne be the scapegoat in case things go wrong, consiedring that the other three all stars have already won just one year ago without him.

IN SA he's gonna find the ideal place...old veterans winner proven and ready to pass the torch to the new age, but still giving their contribution (TP, Tim, Manu); no anxiety for a title 'cause the main core in already signed for next three years (KL, Green, LA); the chance to be the main weapon but along with people ready to share the touches and shooting chances; plus a coach and a state that he likes 'cause of his connections, plus the beneficial of less taxes.

imho nobody can offer him a package like that but us...

This is what everyone said of Miami. Him going to GS will guarantee a championship for the next two years at least, maybe 3 peat.

Maybe. But he's redundant. They're adding shooting to shooting for a lot of salary. I'd guess they'd need to dump Klay Thompson before long.

[LkrFan]

Yup! thats what ive been sayin! they got 3 guys that NEED the ball & evn Curry himself said he needs a few to warm up!

:lol

Durrant publically said curry shots bad shots all the time

[LkrFan]

Easy. KD could play 6th man.
No reports have been told that he should be starting five or whatsoever.
Means he could accept any role.

Nope:

Steph
Klay
Dr. Dray
KD
Uncle Festus

All them open looks Barnes was bricking will be like layups for KD. :lol

[ducks]

If Durant was sold on Gs he would have announced tonight


Anything can happen still

[Mr. Body]

He does. He shoots incredibly shitty shots. He just happens to make tons of them.

You're nuts bro. Take the highest scoring team of the last 25 years or so and replace Harrison Barnes with Durant and you don't think that team is going to bend the rest of the league over for the next 3-5 years?

Nope. Too many egos. Defense gets worse as well. You said this same exact shit when Lebron went to Miami. :lmao

It does seem like an unbalanced team. Ridiculously good, but their top players all do the same thing. It's why I think Klay would eventually be out the door

[LakerHater]

You're nuts bro. Take the highest scoring team of the last 25 years or so and replace Harrison Barnes with Durant and you don't think that team is going to bend the rest of the league over for the next 3-5 years?Barnes is a better defender than Durant.
Durant was gettin pissed off at westbrick on his bad shots & passes, they showed it a few times on National TV!

[ducks]

Be funny if curry bolts if they sign durrant when he is a fa
Wants to prove he does not need them

[cutewizard]

Curry to the Spurs would be sweet, hahahahahahaha

[cutewizard]

i keep checking out all the latest Durant news, and its getting worrisome, sign with us or sign not, be quick about it boy, winter is coming

ohhhhh sorry, winter is here

[Uriel]

The Spurs lost their chance to sign Durant the moment they lost to OKC in the playoffs. Durant's not interested in joining a team he knows he can beat.

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol Durant, Curry and Thompson are all very good at playing off the ball..all 3 are comfortable as spot-up shooters, too..

Dominos is easily a better defensive player than Harrison Barnes, so that's also an upgrade..

It's nothing like Miami, where the top 2 options were redundant and the 3rd guy had to change his entire game..not to mention both Lebron and Wade weren't natural spot-up shooters..

[Budkin]

I see it as the opposite. Won't join the team he lost to. Instead he will be their savior.

[cutewizard]

if Kawhi attended the meeting, would it have made a difference??

[Spurs 4 The Win]

Yeah I see it this way too

[Spurs 4 The Win]

Durant on the Warriors .....Imagine that....

I would be absolutely shocked if he went there. Imo, this is a 2 horse race, SA and OKC.

[r0drig0lac]

some posters are absurdly delirious (see Kawhi vs Lebron thread)

[cutewizard]

Gentlemen, may I suggest this thought experiment,

WHERE IS DURANT IN THE ALL TIME LIST OF THE GREATEST PLAYERS???

Top 15?

Top 20?

Top 30?

Perhaps understanding his position on that list gives us perspective.........

Durant is no MJ, evidently.....

Losing him wont hurt that bad.

[99 Problems]

He's a scoring champ and MVP when his foot is fine. If we miss we go into next year F/A without having thrown some of the huge cabbage (green folding stuff) around that has been spent in the last couple of days and that gives us flexibility next year when there's some serious talent up.

[Russo21]

:nutkick: I can't wait any longer :madrun

[dbestpro]

Durant will not make the Dubs better. Do you think they will break their record for wins? Probably not, which will make for the argument that they will be worse. Basketball remains a team game, and requires role players. When everyone thinks their the alpha dog on the floor you are now playing in the YMCA. The talent would be there, no doubt. Will it mesh as a team? Only on X-box.

doucherant is overrated due to the nba being targeted to a demographic of 11-14 year olds.

[Big Empty]

Durant to the Warriors makes them unbeatable in any series for the next 3 years. Thats an allstar team all in their prime. Durant is a better all around player than Barnes and better shooter. All this talk of "there is only one ball" is nonesense.

"There is only one ball" is a bigger problem playing with Westbrook than it is playing with the Dubs.
