Kevin Durant

Most NBA owners probably don’t like that the Golden State Warriors, a 73-win powerhouse, were able to carve out enough cap space to sign Kevin Durant. Mark Cuban, though, is not most owners. He doesn’t really have a huge issue with Durant heading to Oakland. To the contrary, he thinks it’s good for the NBA, [...]

Kevin Durant’s decision to leave Oklahoma City is what it is. He was a free agent and has every right to exercise all that comes to him by way of being unrestricted. But it’s the fact that he chose a stacked Warriors team; one that just defeated him and has already won a title without [...]

Yes, things are weird between Dwyane Wade and the Miami Heat. No, that doesn’t mean he’s signing with the Cleveland Cavaliers, or the Denver Nuggets, or the Milwaukee Bucks, or the Chicago Bulls.

Don’t think the Golden State Warriors haven’t done their homework on Kevin Durant. During an episode of The Vertical Podcast with Woj, The Vertical’s Adrian Wojnarowski revealed that Golden State’s players have been recruiting him to the Bay Area all season. Here’s the transcription, via ProBasketballTalk’s Dan Feldman: Here’s the thing that’s interesting about Golden [...]

First Derrick Rose, then Kevin Durant? That’s the plan, apparently. After trading for Derrick Rose from the Chicago Bulls, the New York Knicks have let it be known to their new point guard that free agent Kevin Durant is on their radar this summer, according to the New York Daily News‘s Frank Isola: But Phil [...]

How does Kevin Durant feel about taking a pay cut?
