Kevin Durant Not Expecting Anything Better Than Warriors In Terms Of Title Contention

Post #1 » by **RealGM Wiretap** » Tue Oct 29, 2019 12:10 pm

Kevin Durant wants to win a title with the Brooklyn Nets, but he's realistic that the situation will be more challenging than it was when he joined the Golden State Warriors in 2016.

"Obviously leaving Golden State, I'm not expecting anything better than that," said Durant. "I see this situation as, 'All right, I'm coming to a young organization that has championship aspirations but doesn't quite know what that feels like.'"

Durant won a pair of Finals MVPs while with the Warriors, but he left the Warriors in search of a new challenge.

"I felt they kind of ground it out from the bottom, and I liked that," Durant said of the Nets.

This is going to be the longest season ever if he keeps running his mouth at this rate. Please get healthy soon so you can shut up, KD.

He's not expecting to join a team again that was already the title favorite before he signed. :lol:

I bet he never plays a game there.

He likes that they built from the ground up and stuck it out? You're team hopping KD and doing the complete opposite of that.

I can only imagine what statements like these would be interpreted as and played up into by the media if he signed with the Knicks. So he probably made the right decision.
