The Golden State Warriors made one of the biggest free agency signings in NBA history when they signed Kevin Durant. The former NBA MVP left the Oklahoma City Thunder, the team he had spent his entire career with. Because the Warriors went 73-9 this year, many people believed that the move was desperate on KD’s part. Others thought that Durant was perfectly justified in his move, as the main goal of NBA players is to win a championship. Nonetheless, it stirred up a ton of different opinions. Plenty of NFL players pitched in their thoughts as well.
that's even weaker than the LeBron move

It's unreal to see the hate the guy gets for making a decision that he earned? All because HE didn't do what YOU wanted him to do? Crazy…

Even though players are pretty much split down the middle, one thing’s for sure: the NBA will never be the same again.
