Warriors

Kevin Durant is happy that he isn’t joining a Golden State Warriors team that’s working off two consecutive titles. Why? Because, well, he (most likely) wouldn’t be a member of the Warriors if that was the case. As Durant said of his free-agency decision, per ESPN.com’s Ethan Sherwood Strauss: “[My agent] Rich [Kleiman], who’s here, [...]

The rest of the NBA has been on-guard and crying itself to sleep every night since Kevin Durant decided to join the 73 win Warriors team and create possibly the most ridiculous “super team” the NBA has ever seen. This team features the past two regular season MVP award winners in Kevin Durant and Steph [...]

Stephen Curry will be a free agent next summer, which, for the purpose of 29 NBA teams, means absolutely nothing. He isn’t leaving the Golden State Warriors. The reigning two-time MVP got ahead of any potential free-agency rumblings on Tuesday, per ESPN.com’s Marc Stein: [tweet https://twitter.com/ESPNSteinLine/status/780872772654276608] Shocker. Curry has become one of the two best [...]

Though the Golden State Warriors look absolutely terrifying on paper after signing Kevin Durant, don’t expect them to try outdoing regular-season history from the jump. Or at all. The Warriors broke the record for single-season victories last year, rattling off 73 wins, resetting the 72-win bar that the Chicago Bulls created in 1995-96. Immediately after [...]

San Antonio Spurs legend David Robinson isn’t trying to rain on the Golden State Warriors’ superteam parade. He just wants you, and them, to know this feeling of Nirvana won’t last forever. As The Admiral told Complex’s Zach Frydenlund (h/t Bleacher Report): “It takes time, you look at what happened with LeBron, Wade, and Bosh. [...]

Will the Oklahoma City Thunder fans boo or cheer Kevin Durant when he returns to the Chesapeake Energy Arena for the first time as a member of the Golden State Warriors? We’ll have to wait until February to find out. From ESPN.com’s Marc Stein: The Oklahoma City Thunder are tentatively scheduled to play host to [...]

Russell Westbrook has been pretty quiet since Kevin Durant left for Golden State. Russ has never been a big social media guy, but we have never received any sort of reaction from him. Until today. On the heels of Russ agreeing to sign an extension with OKC, Russ faced the media to talk about the [...]

Jason Terry isn’t about to bow down at the altar of the Golden State Warriors. Speaking with Yardbarker, the currently unemployed 38-year-old NBA champion addressed the notion that Golden State is a superteam just because they have Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson and Kevin Durant. Spoiler: He doesn’t think they are a superteam. Now [...]

Klay Thompson was so excited Kevin Durant chose the Golden State Warriors that he…went back to sleep after hearing the news. This is apparently a true-fact anecdote, one unearthed by The Vertical’s Shams Charania: “I was sleeping,” Thompson told The Vertical, “and my brother came to my room and woke me up to tell me [...]

Harrison Barnes seems like a class act. Though the Dallas Mavericks forward told The Undefeated’s Marc J. Spears that his decision to leave the Golden State Warriors was “more so made for me,” he does not sound bitter at the way things played out. He appears to understand, and is more inclined to reflect on [...]
