For NBA fans, there is no doubt that one of the strongest team in the league is Golden State Warriors. They bagged the championship in 2015 and were too close to repeating the victory this year, no wonder Kevin Durant decided to turn his back from Oklahoma City Thunder to join Stephen Curry and the rest of the Warriors.
Kevin Durant's Move To Golden State Warriors Ruins NBA
When you play for NBA, you just don't play for yourself, you play for the team and build a relationship with your other teammates. When LeBron James decided to leave Cleveland Cavalier for Miami Heat his statement, "I'm going to take my talents to South Beach and join the Miami Heat" broke the hearts of the Cavs fans.
However, per iSportsWeb, Kevin Durant's move to Golden Warrior State is more "shattering." The report also notes that Durant joining an already strong and dominating team in NBA is a weak move. Today, due to free agency players are more into working with all-stars than giving a championship to the team that opens its doors for them to join NBA.
Russell Westbrook 'Angry And Hurt'
Meanwhile, aside from Kevin Durant's Thunder fans who are so disappointed for his move to Golden State Warrior, his best buddy in the court, Russell Westbrook is reportedly devastated.
According to sources close to Russell Westbrook, he was "angry and furious" not only of Kevin Durant's departure but because he didn't bother to call him personally, CBS Sports reported. Now the fate of the Oklahoma Thunder is in the dark after they lose their strongest player.
Klay Thompson The Most Affected Of Kevin Durant's Move To GSW
On a side note, Klay Thompson has been contented to stay behind Stephen Curry's shadow as they team up to deliver Golden State Warrior. However, per the USA today, Thompson will be the most affected player after Kevin Durant joins their team.
With Kevin Durant's joining the Golden State Warriors, the team now includes four All-Stars players. However, with Durant on the court some key players who help the team bagged the 2015 championship will have a reduced role and there are speculations that Klay Thompson will suffer the most.
However, despite this, Klay Thompson is excited to play alongside Kevin Durant for Golden State Warriors. "I think (going after Durant was) a no-brainer man, just because it's a once-in-a-generation kind of talent," he said.
"It's history. There have never been two MVPs ... under 30 (years old) on the same team, so it was a no-brainer just because he's such a great talent and he'd be such a pleasure to play with. Where we were at (last season), it's hard to imagine going to that level (again). But he's the type of guy who could take us there," Klay Thompson added.
