POLL Where would you like to see Durant next year?

[HurricaneDij39]

We know this question is going to be asked an awful lot this year, so I figured what the heck...

I think you all know where I'm leaning - To Brooklyn with Kemba. I'd like to see a good young coach and GM (Atkinson and Marks) get rewarded.

 

[YourFriendGannon]

I don't care anymore. 2 and a half years ago I wanted him to go to Utah.

[msgkings322]

Maybe he should go play AA baseball

 

[thunderc]

Really doesn’t matter much

I want Durant with the Knicks so that the Warriors can lose

 

[trojanfan12]

Hard to say.

I picked the Lakers because I heard that there's at least one Vegas sportsbook that has them as the favorite to get him and it's been reported that his Mom loves Lebron, Magic and Magic's wife Cookie.

But there are really about as many good reasons for him to go just about anywhere as there are for him not to.

If he goes to the Lakers, he has a great shot at more rings and can be "the man" when Lebron declines or leaves because he'll have weakened the Warriors. But does he want to spend at least 2, maybe 3 years knowing that Lebron will get most of the credit if they win and KD will get most of the blame if they don't.

If he goes to the Knicks, if Porzingis is healthy and they get another top level guy...he could be responsible for their first title since '73. But does he want to deal with that owner? Plus, he still has to deal with the Sixers, Celtics and Raptors.

Nets would be interesting. He'd definitely need to get another top level guy with him, but they seem to have some solid pieces in place at least. But again, some history of bad FO moves and there's still the Sixers, Celtics and Raptors issue.

Gonna be interesting for sure.

It kinda bums me out that we and all the talking heads are going to be on this all year, over and over. Every little utterance by anyone who knows him parsed carefully for clues. It's exhausting, just like when it's LeBron we're all wondering about. I wish we could just say he may leave, pretty good chance, maybe not, no one knows including KD himself, so let's just play ball and stop worrying about it

If nothing else,

This experience should prove once and for all how amazing LeBron is. Why other players don't follow his free agency blue print is beyond me.

All KD or any FA has to do is say:

"I am focused on this year and helping the Warriors (insert team name here) compete for a championship".

If that is all you say, and you say it every time, there is no story and reporters eventually stop asking.

OKC and the thunder trade Westbrook.

But hell let’s just get to April and see where things stand

I say let them talk, because we both know there is very little chance that he leaves

Do we? I put it at around 50%

I agree.

Id like to see him go to Brooklyn.

All though something like the Suns might be fun too....

I wonder if there is anyway he could get to the Nuggets......

 

[WiggyRuss]

i dont care as long as its not the Lakers---- which is a long shot anyway.

all though the humiliation he would endure going from Currys bitch to LeBrons bitch would be pretty funny.

Would take a lot of maneuvering... Not sure it'd be worth it.

He’s a whiney bitch, so I’m hoping for WNBA.

I think if you are the Warriors, you hold court until you lose. The Warriors was a really good team even before Durant, but what is financing their luxury taxes is being in the finals and if you're Durant, why would you even want to go back to losing

Obviously if he leaves it's somewhere to build a winner. Somewhere with a decent core and then maybe bring another star with him. It's far from a lock he stays.
