Warriors: Durant declines option, to become FA

[SpursforSix]

probably the dumbest decision of his career. Why not just sit out the year(which he will do anyway), collect the $31 million, THEN sign supermax next year. wtf..

Maybe he’s worried he’s going to suck. Remember, this isn’t some tough minded player we’re talking about.

Why wait a year to sign another max when you can sign one now guaranteeing your money amid uncertainty of how that Achilles will heal?

Wait...maybe I misunderstood. I thought he was just turning down the 1 year player option. Are you saying that he turned down a max offer from GS?

Are you in for FF this year?

because if he opts in, that's $31 million paid to do nothing as he's not gonna play anyway. Next summer, he gets supermax and it's an extra 5 years instead of signing it this summer and getting 5 years, he gets 5 years supermax and an extra $31 million for doing nothing..
