Durant stays in OKC on a 1-year deal so he can make more money when the cap goes up again in 2017, as well as be a Free Agent the same year as Westbrook, which could have its advantages for both.

But the interesting part is here:
But Ainge's desire to see Durant in green stretches back almost a decade, and it's not just an assumption from him sitting next to Wanda Pratt at a Big 12 semifinal. Those who know Ainge best swear that he would have picked Durant No. 1 in the 2007 draft over Greg Oden had the pingpong balls bounced Boston's way. Ainge's son Austin, currently Boston's director of player personnel, wasn't a team employee in 2007, but he noted in June 2014 that, "I was in the draft room, and they would have taken Durant. I did have some inside information there." His story has been vetted by Celtics co-owner Wyc Grousbeck.
Like I said many times not EVERYONE was taking Oden. I get for Spur fan because of David first and Duncan ... you guys always want to lean "big". But certain special players defy that logic especially when the big has one leg shorter than the other ..and the wing dominated his conference and was one of the best modern day scorers in college hoops.
Per Bleacher Report Using some clutch metrics they explain inside:
Some key names on the all choke team this year ...

2. Cousins

I wouldn't give Durant a 1 year deal. I'd let him walk before doing that.
Also, OP has the tiest team in the league and would kill kittens to get Durant. Dude is the saltiest poster on these here interwebs.
I hear from sources that a certain poster makes some allusion to me doing horrible things to get Durant ... I never said I did not want Durant. My nooo was because I DONT want him to go to the Celts.
Also DMC, pot meet kettle when it comes to "salty"
I wont see your response to this so don't bother ...
SMH, slow day at the office?
You're not much better tbh
"I have you on ignore... so what you just said which was..."
