He cashed in any semblance of credibility he had years ago to be a cartoon character. Not sure what part of journalistic ethics includes threatening folks. Only way KD can be wrong is if someone close to him did indeed talk to SAS. SAS is wrong for responding to it like this, whether that happened or not.

I actually know for a fact that KD is going to Washington with Tris
ton Thompson...
*Mark my words
ton Thompson...
*Mark my words
"Durant and I have spent intimidate time* together on multiple occasions" SAS always sus w/ his relationships
I have to go with SAS on this one. I say that because in the other thread someone said he saw KD and SAS talking the whole night a 40/40 a whlle back. And SAS brought the same thing up today.

That was stupid on his part. I absolutely agree with that & he does look like an idiot in that sound bite. No argument here on that. His overall point is correct. He does have a track record. He is plugged all over the league. KD's mother was on the show. I know he isn't popular on here but he wasn't lying
Durant would beat the dog shyt outta SAS.

His track record also includes speculation and blatant buffoonery as well. You can't play the journalism card when it's convenient. There is no way he can be more plugged into KD than KD himself. Somebody lying here, no doubt. None of us can say for sure who that is. But only one person is actin like a fukking idiot, and we all know who that is.
saw his reply, and for the most part i agree with what he said in relation to what he was talking about....which is cool....
in relation to what durant actually said, he went overboard and was trying to flex, cause it had nothing to do with what durant said...i say that cause durant didnt say he's never talked to sas....he said he didnt talk to him about his future free agency plans, which is what sas was talking about with the laker talk....all the 'we've talked plenty of times' is twisting what was said to try to make a point and front on durant for whatever reason....which isnt cool...

I just want somebody to punch SAS in the face
Talking about intimate decisions such as the one SAS is claiming is not the same as being cordial. Its the same as running into some chick you work with at a club 2yrs ago and chatted. If someone asked you if you "talk" to her, you would give a definitive "No."
SAS knew the exact context as to what Durant was speaking about when he said he doesn't speak to him and just like a bytch would, he tried to muddy the water and make it seem otherwise with frivolous information to hide that fact. If you know him and speak to him like that SAS then why would you use a confidential "source" instead of just asking Durant himself...with you knowing him so well I mean?
His logic is laughable as is his credibility. "It must be true since you didnt sign the extension."..."I'm being told that Durant will leave for Los Angeles."....then back pedals "I said, Los Angeles was one of the prime considerations."...etc
The fact is he is saying he was told by "someone close" that Durant is leaving for LA. Durant explicitly noted that no one close to him could have told him that. He isnt even denying that it is true or not which is the main point that Durant is pissed. He's pissed because SAS is implying that someone within Durant's inner circle of close people told him personally of this. I guarantee you that Durant wouldve said nothing had SAS just said that he was told by someone as opposed to implying that it came from his close family/friends. That shyt can tear a family apart and I understand Durant not allowing SAS to compromise that.
SAS wont say that he heard it from an intern or a business assoc of Durant's because that hurts credibility and makes him unable to paint an aura of intimacy with the situation. By insinuating that it was "someone close" it legitimizes his claim while having no burden of proof and being allowed to keep the facade up of being an insider. Its easy as shyt and women do this shyt all the time to fukk up relationships and thats why I call it a bytch move and Durant called him on it.

Nah fukk this gossip girl. People like SAS need to be better than this. Kevin Durant is on the OKC thunder this year and shouldn't be having to answer to allegations that he's going to be playing elsewhere next year. If he denies it, people will say he's hiding something. If he ignores it, people will say its true because he's not denying it.
Besides, if the fakkit is so tight with Durant, he should put his own name on it. Why hide behind anonymous sources? He should be reporting on what actually happens instead of trying to create stories at other peoples expense. He's a fukking shythead.

He's all in his feelings
"You do not wanna make an enemy out of me".c00nin A got goons now?
. I hope KD goes back at him HARD
KD don't want them problems...He's one of them fiercely privates dudes. Steven A. has a lot of dirty on these guys.... He needs to keep it on the court...
He probably right, its just the way he characterizes his relationship with these athletes
He will tell you he spent time with your mama and brudda to express how deep his connections are
Exactly.
Stephen A acting like the whole Deandre Jordan situation didn't just happen a few months ago. Nobody will know more than the player himself. At this point, Stephen A can defend himself that he has good sources but other than that, he need to fall back.
I mean, so KD goes anywhere but LA, is Stephen A's career over? Of course not. Stephen A and KD both know that. That's why KD gotta get at this click-baiting fan.
