Where does Durant end up ?

[tlance]

Are you aware of the salary cap?

Post the numbers, please. I know what they are but you clearly don't!

Here you go. Next year's cap #s:

Durant: 24.9
Westbrook: 17.8
Kanter: 17.1
Ilyasova: 8.4
Oladipo: 6.5
Waiters: 6.8
Singler: 4.8
Collison: 3.7
Morrow:3.5
Adams: 3.1
Payne: 2.1
McGary: 1.5
Roberson: 2.2
Huestis: 1.2
Sabonis: between 4 and 5 projected

So that is 90 million right there. Some of those guys are expendable, but without dumping Kanter, Collison and Singler for future picks, they do not have the money to sign another star.

Not in OKC now. This is the 3rd time OKC has traded away their #3 option. I think he goes to Wash, Boston, Knicks,Portland or Lakers. Bulls Sleeper team.

 

[WiggyRuss]

I think he stays.

Oladipo is a great pickup to matchup with GSW.... he will sign a 1 and 1 like LEBron in OKC.....my guess anyway.

 

[tducey]

I think he stays there this year and leaves for the Lakers or the Warriors next summer.

 

[The Oldtimer]

Why would he leave OKC? He'll get a max one year contract, and next year the salary cap goes up. He's not going anywhere is my guess.

I'm thinking he wants to leave OKC because he wants to win a Championship. IMO, I don't think he will win one with OKC. It's not always about the money.

Yes, I know what they are. That's why I pointed it out in my original post regarding where Durant goes.
You clearly aren't able to read.

DERP

I think he'll go to the Knicks with Rose. Jackson is gearing up that Knick team to compete with Cleveland. Durant realizes he can't win with Westbrook and poor management.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Report: Durant to meet with Spurs, Heat, Warriors, Thunder, Clippers, Celtics to start

I think he stays.

NAhhhhh

Major teams that KD considers as to reports:

Thunder, Warriors, Spurs

Recent signs appear to point toward Golden State as being a real threat. I think the fact that GS lost this year makes it much more likely that KD joins them.

I would be shocked if he left what he has in OKC. July 1st can't get here soon enough.

as would I, to be totally honest. but GS is looking like a bigger and bigger threat to take him...

Durant/Westbrook have proven not to get over the hump. I always said OKC traded their championship hopes away when Harden left. If he wants championships, its not in OKC

I can totally picture Durant standing there begging for the ball while Rose and Melo have it for 90% of the game.

 

[Xulu Bak]

OKC in '16-17
??? in '17

Watch out for my dubs. I got sources. I'll let people know if I hear anything

No chance in hell. He wants to win a championship not lose. Plus they have enough ball hogs that play no defense on that team. OKC is actually a very situation for him next year especially after the Oladipo trade. They took GS to 7 and were up 3-1 remember. He just got another athlete at the 2-guard, they were weak at that position.

I don't because I don't think Oklahoma is willing to make the sacrificed in $$$$$ to get over the top. If you're serious about titles you have to spend the $$$$$$ and look at the players they let go over the years to save money. That's because they are consistently asking the players to sacrifice money for the spirit of the team. I don't think they would have the last guy be traded if they really wanted to win a championship. Sooner or later they have to say enough and start hanging onto the best

He might as well ask my small dog to quit barking at everything that moves - Neither one is going to happen
