If I'm him I return on a 1-Year contract. Warriors will likely require a small retooling anyway since the bench has deteriorated. Especially if Thompson leaves.
That would formulate enough of a "challenge" in Durant's little head
This deserves to be upstairs because the ramifications are obviously seismic for the league and the Spurs.
It's becoming more and more apparent that Durant will leave if the Warriors fail to win the ring this season. It's readily more apparent that
he does not want his legacy minimized by having to tether himself to an "MVP" such as Curry. (Too late, but that's how this beta thinks nonetheless.)
And this is to say nothing of big market ramifications and however they would appeal to him.
The question is if the Warriors three-peated, would this create any sort of internal desire to "make history" and stay, or rather would it be enough?

I called it last offseason. He is going to New York.
Durant to the Spurs would be unbelievable
Let’s get him for the vet min!
Stays in his comfy confines of the Gay Area if they 3 peat.
Leaves if they do not.
If Thompsons leaves he will leave, he is just ring chasing and doesn't want to make an effort in a team that is not overly stacked.
Word (anonymous, but multiple) from the GS locker room is that he is gone.
KD is a made , so who knows tbh.
The Knicks rumor is so prevalent now that it's hard to ignore, but then again the Paul George to the Lakers rumor was supposedly even more solid, and that turned out to be wrong. I still don't see why Durant would want to start over teaming up with James Dolan on a team that has been terribly managed for many years...
If Golden State wins it this year, there is the legacy thing with a fourpeat, which is something no modern player has accomplished. That would be a reason to sign a one year deal, at the least. But I can also see why after winning three les (and possibly three consecutive Finals MVPs), Durant would be ready to move on and leave behind someone as difficult as Draymond.
Yes. He'll come straight to SA and sign for the MLE.
I've been hearing a LOT of talk about Durant by the commentators lately. They're comparing him to all the greatest all-time players, saying he's doing all the things that LeBron did, that he's better than Duncan, etc. It's like they all get the same script. I think the point is that he needs a team of his own. That's a story that sells, and they are all over it. I think Durant will be, too.
I think he's smart enough to know that going to the East will just about guarantee that he at least makes it to the playoffs, which will "prove" that he can do it all by himself. The Knicks look like a natural choice. They have a vacuum left by Kristaps, and they'll be getting Zion.
I don't think the Paul George comparison is appropriate. PG was under contract when he talked about going to the Lakers, and by the time he actually got the opportunity (post-trade) to sign there he reupped with OC instead. Durant, on the other hand, will be a free agent and has already left a (supposedly) good situation once.
Go Rockets!!!

If he rings with the show franchise that the New York Knicks have been for about 20 years he will be in the GOAT conversation
Anything is possible .....
Durant teams up with Pop, White and company, wow
That would be sweet, effectively ending the GS le runs
The Dubs look to be in serious trouble vs Hou. I think KD is gone after that.
The Paul George deal is not a good comparison due to diva James and the aura he gives off. It was sorta predictable that PG wasn’t Inyo that drama. I think going to NY is more like LBJ winning one for Cle. NY hasn’t won in so long winning again would be huge. Despite Dolan I can totally see some accomplished stars joining KD in NY to make a run. I’d be all for that.
Media loves to sell Klaynus leaving in the headlines. But then if you look at the fine print, he is staying.

I could see him going to Brooklyn. He is gone regardless.
One thing is for sure, he won't be a Spur any time soon but his decision should and probably will affect our plans moving forward. If the Warriors somehow end up keeping Klay and Snake the window remains shut, if he joins Nephew to the Clippers the same but if he goes to NY then the window opens and we should be more aggressive going forward.
Let's just hope he goes to the Knicks or Nets. That would make the West wide open
If he does that, hate him like I do, I will respect his game a little more if this happens. But there’s no way
Torn achilles for beta?
holy if dominoes tore his Achilles. The entire power balance in the nba will shift
