Durant Back to OKC?

 Trying to dub anything the KKK to make it cool in the US would be like trying to reuse the swastika around Jewish people, it wouldn’t go over well.

 KD got stick for going to OKC, he’d get the same for going to the Lakers with LBJ. Back to OKC would be hard with Westbrook, PG13 and Adams all locked in. 

I think of GSW as much as being KD’s team as Steph’s team. KD was been finals MVP and won the title in both seasons there. LBJ was one title down on D-Wade all his time at Heat too.

KD may be attracted to the Knicks but using the initials of a racist organization in relation to a sport played and supported by a lot of black people isn’t clever. If you were trying to be ironic then it sadly failed.

 People do realize teams have to abide something called a salary cap, right? It’s not a suggestion or a budget. It’s a restriction. 

Neither OKC nor the Knicks have the ability to get Durant. OKC really cannot. They’d have to work a sign-and-trade that sent back equal salary. GSW won’t want that much salary if they don’t get a player like Durant. Schroeder, Adams, Roberson, Grant ain’t getting that done. 

The Knicks would need to trade one of Noah or Hardaway just to have enough space to sign Durant to a max. Then they’d have to trade the other and Lee to open enough space for another. To clear that much space will require trading at least 2 first round picks, and probably one (or maybe two) of Knox, Frankie, or Robinson. 

Then, you are relying on Zinger to have good health, and you still have no role players. 

 I haven’t heard anything about Durant wanting to team up with Westbrook again, where are you hearing this from, OKC media or OKC fans ???

My profile picture is of a fanous British Football Commentator called John Motson which was taken when he was reporting about a game being called off in a snow blizzard. John is wearing a sheepskin coat which became his trademark for many years. He recently retired from a major national channel ony to sign up to do radio work.

Hitster was a mock wrestling nickname I thought up as a kid and I sometimes use it as my Social Media handle.

BTW I’m a white guy based in the UK so any offence to a KKK referemce wouldn’t even be taken directly by me but I could imagine some people being very offended so I called it out as I thought it was inappropriate.

 This will go down as an all-time thread… for all the wrong reasons

 This is one of those things where it wouldn’t surprise me what he does now…

There could be 3 reasons for this rumor making the rounds:

1) K.D’s Agent put out feelers via a trusted media source(if K.D trusts him) to a possible re-union with OKC to see how media/fans respond to it. As he could be angling to cement his legacy by doing 2 things Bringing a ring to OKC(which would probably have more value than an GSW one)or  He wants to do the Lebron learn how to win ,Win and bail from OKC with no hard feeling to wherever he wants to finish up. 

2)He is trying to put pressure on GSW to not try get complacent and pay Draymond/Klay/Cousins…With K.D finishing up in GSW.

3) The reporter had to try create some contraversey and help him get a new contract somewhere if his news is a hit.

Me personally as an OKC fan I am don’t know two things:

Finacially how we could make it work(without gutting our team) or if K.D would have to do a Boogie deal(Not much money) or Back loaded as deal

or

If we just chase the Best available PF and try have the deepest overall team in the league:Lets say we chase Kanter again and Jermi Grant takes that leap to be full time Starter PF.

Imagine this team: Adams,Jermi grant,PG,Roberson(personally I hop Dialo passes him if he is good defensively or Roberson is offensively better than he was),Russ.

Bench: Noel(Takes a back loaded deal),Kanter-if he is prepared to take cheap deal which could be possible as he likes OKC and Russ,Dialo(My guess for bench SF/SG at least),Ferguson and Dennis S…

This would give you way more depth than Chasing K.D and having to gut our team to make the $ work and gives the coach plenty of options to work with and no reason for offensive drop off as there is at least 3-4 options off your bench to give you  high double figures any night…Plus it would be funnier if Russ and OKC bet GSW on route to the finals/a ring.

However I don’t know if I would personally want Donovan coaching either the above team(with Kanter mentioned) or if K.D came back as you need someone who will balance all the egos and still have the team play the right way..See Jeff Van G as possible choice..

 This is definitely my favorite thread on here of all time. I’ve never seen so many negs in my life.
