He has two options. 1. Go to gsw and guarantee a ring. 2. Stay with okc and fight for a le. One le in okc is worth more than any number of les with gsw. Spurs have zero chance.
KD will sign the 1 plus 1 contract with OKC. The courting for KD is most likely not about this year, but for next year.

The only thing that needs to end is the bad grammar in this post.
Even though they mention it, they don't seem to realize Kawhi at SG nullifies their main "concern." As well as all the small ball lineups Pop would just adore trotting out.
if the spurs land him
has he had anything to say about the ibaka trade?
i mostly see him sticking around in okc.
he's in a position where he would leave to... join the team he beat or join the team that beat him. i don't see him just bouncing. i'm sure the warriors and the spurs will have strong pitches though. would love to be there tbh.
ITS NOT HAPPENING....
That's like having your SS play 2b. Taking the team's best athlete playing a premium position and throwing him on a position that minimizes his athleticism and skill set. That would not be smart.

I posted this on RealGM, but whatever.
The best pitch the Spurs could offer Durant is that they have built-in ring-chasers who already have chemistry with the team. I absolutely expect Tim and Manu to come back for the minimum if KD comes over. I already mentioned this in another thread, but after running the numbers, it looks even better.
If Durant sacrifices $2 Million (or better yet just has that amount in unlikely to be earned incentives), the Spurs could realistically field the following roster:
PG: Parker, Miller (or some other ring-chaser) Murray
SG: Leonard, Manu, Simmons
SF: Durant, Green, Bertans
PF: Aldridge, Anderson, LJC
C: Duncan, Boban, Lorbek
And they can do so while also maintaining a decent amount of cap space for the following year. I know that asking Durant to give up money seems like a bad strategy, but I disagree. I think when you look at how many players would be willing to sacrifice to be part of that roster, it actually helps instill a sense of camaraderie and shared purpose.
AND if that's still not enough, then Durant could be encouraged to sign a one-and-one deal. So he could either leave or reup in 2017 (which would result in him getting more money than signing a straight four-year deal with any one in 2016 anyway). The added benefit to the Spurs, of course, is that even if Durant opted out and left in this scenario, they'd be in great shape cap-wise to make another move.
So he's going to be a Spur..
Exactly, nobody should be upset for the spurs trying to get durant. This is an opportunity we can't miss.
You've got to be a real wit to be against the Spurs going after Durant. Like TheRemix said, it's an opportunity you shouldn't pass up. You'd be a fool to pass it up and not even try at all.
That's Spurstalk for you. We could swap Manu for Curry or LeBron and there would be at least one or two people here saying that it's a bad deal and that they prefer Manu's "intangibles" and chemistry with the team
Durant isn't what we need most but if you can have him you take him. Too good offensively to overlook.
He is going to GSW! They can offer him the amazing chance for like a 5peat and that will charm him!!
If he doesn't go to Goldenstate, then you don't post here anymore, OK?
And if he does?
Only LMA and Kawhi are untouchable.
Please take all the others
He'd lose too much $$ in tax money. California is a state that is totally finished as any kind of "American" state. Texas has no state income taxes and is primed to have no FEDERAL income taxes.
Facts!!
That's not nearly as important when you're as filthy rich as he is. I live in California and although we have our problems, I wouldn't leave here for anywhere else. You can't beat the climate or scenery. I grew up in Texas and while I have a soft spot for SA and Austin, every time I return to visit, it's an inferno there and I'm quickly reminded why I left. Just miserably hot and humid 6-8 months out of the year. And bipolar weather to boot. SA definitely isn't offering KD anything off the court, either. San Francisco is an infinitely better city to live in if you can afford it.
He's either staying in OKC (likely) or heading for the Bay imvho. Not taking the other teams seriously.
Then you get to stay here and post your emo posts.
