I heard something today I had never heard. Durant went to 3 different high schools.

That is pretty common actually.

Lots of basketball guys transfer to a private school with an elite program sometime during high school.

Then the best of the best often transfer again to a school like Oak Hill, which is typically just for 1 year.

I think the lockout that is coming gets bigger and bigger with every passing day.

And they will be fine.
The issue of a player being able to say I’m not playing will be addresssed. I don’t think Durant will ever do that though.

Yeah, I know you think this, but probably not.

At least not for the reasons you think it is coming.

Star players in the NBA will always have leverage that other athletes from other sports don’t.

Maybe I’m wrong but I don’t think so. Too many owners that are not going to let a Ben Simmons situation happen to them.

And he's a one off. KD will still play if he isn't traded.

They should address mental health issues in a constructive way. Ben definitely went at that all wrong.

Yeah I don’t see KD sitting out under any circumstance. Social media does not need him to have idle time.

KD on a holdout would be the absolute worst

And imagine.....they currently have KD, Irving and Simmons all on the same team

Like I said though....for a top 25 all time talent he doesn't act it

He needs a psychiatrist or something. Let a load off.
