Bulpet is starting to piss me off.

As if Horford signing wasn't ever discussed during Durant's meeting.

He knew or had an idea

Signing with GS would be a total tool move.

Leaving OKC would be a total "I'm tired of playing with Russ" move.

leggo!

Was wondering the same.

Then it occurred to me. KD knows what he's doing he's not sitting around making pro and con lists.

Whatever his decision is, now he's just sitting at home trying to finish writing his announcement letter.

Like a college kid with one more project before vacation.

Just sitting there by himself, pecking away.

I don't know - makes a lot of sense for him to come here.. given those 3 choices.

OKC - small city - not great environment and they haven't been able to get it done as far as surrounding him with right talent.

GS - okay great city - great team - but will never be the main guy on that team - its not even clear they need him.. So if he wins - he won't get much credit. And if they don't win he will look really bad..

Boston - decent size city - good basketball reputation (fans like hoops) and if he wins he can become legendary with us.. I know what team I would choose..:P.

If you were KD, and probably knew what team your going to why deliberately wait to announce his decision. I don't ever get that. Nothing can change now until tomorrow. You met the teams, everyone laid down their pitch. Is it really that hard to make these decisions !

If he goes to GSW he will be the biggest **** ever. If he goes to OKC on 1+1 deal then he would really want to go through this again ?

If its the GSW then honestly what is the point of watching the NBA ? They will win every single regular season game.

I just don't think KD would feel good about having to eliminate the Thunder in a playoff series. Still holding out hope that he realizes this and comes to Boston.

Can we have ballboy posting restrictions? You can't just create an account and hijack our forum. I love open forums, but damn.

Also, Durant to Golden State is one of the most selfish moves I've ever seen. He does nothing for Golden State. They don't need him. He won't move the needle at all for them. Stunning, really, he would consider that team. Imagine if Patrick Ewing went to the Bulls? Ridiculous.
