Kevin Durant ....does he even have a real reason to want to leave OKC?

[ajnapoleon]

Real question no trolling


His team seems to draft well I.E westbrook, harden, Ibacka

Has a 2nd option that can create his own shot he damn bear had 2 for awhile westbrook and harden

he has a defensive anchor Ibacka

have big bodies off the bench and a player that can grow to be a good player even if he is a knuckle head in waiters


thats way more than most top players have had in their careers so why would he leave?

 

[bangbreh]

He ain't winnin shyt there. He knows.

 

[Mantis Toboggan M.D.]

Not really. The funny part is the narrative of "he wants to go home to DC", as if they ever bring in big free agents, or have a decent general manager, and ignoring that have one of the WOAT coaches in league history. I think the guy has won some 40% of his games on the career and his offense consists of " take the first contested mid range jumper you can get". The whole thing reeks of a need to create another case of LeBron and the decision.

 

[Primetime21]

to accept the challenge of trying to win a championship in his hometown

 

[The Frozen One]

he can easily go to the east and only have to compete with LBJ for finals apperance..

ya it's hard seeing him leave with the players around him, but every player has a price, if OKC don't make it far in the playoffs, he will have to seriously think about his options and figure out if loyalty > rings.

That roster and coaching staff isn't better than what he's got now

but the western conference is a dog fight. you have to compete with 6 championship calibre teams, while in the east there is only one threat. He won't have to expend as much energy for regular season wins.

I don't see him leaving but we can't just pretend that there is absolutely no chance of him leaving.

 

[ajnapoleon]

He ain't winnin shyt there. He knows.

Nah that does not make sense he has all the tools to win "hit form 30!!!" and all that his 2nd option is a damn legit MVP and his 3rd player leads the league in blocks and top 10 in rebounds i don't think he has a real reason to leave thats just me

 

[Ohene]

umm...

its Oklahoma city

Thats my point so leaving the west so he can have a easier shot would be a good enough reason? nah he has it better than a lot of others like if melo had this team he would be on the you have to win you have no excuse section but it does not apply to KG for some reason

 

[kingsteve]

You're right about everything..it must be the city. Who the hell would want to live in okc?

And its not like he was drafted by them..shyt neither was or iblocka so they might leave to. Best player the thunder every drafted was harden and they traded him for jermey lamb and draft picks

 

[ajnapoleon]

umm...

its Oklahoma city

ummmmmm so? what difference does it make its like its some unwritten rule that you cannot win in no place besides a big market he has the team to do it and he has a great team ......all he is asked to do is score and not even check the other team best player he got to pretty easy

Yeah OKC is not my cup of tea but he got a great team built around him so just because its not a major market just leave when he got the perfect situation around him?
