it will be fine eventually. toronto forgives vince. okc will eventually forgive durant. the first step is teammates being cool with each other. this would be a nice moment.
people will look back on his decision in ten years and wonder why people were so upset.
I think you underestimate the college sports fan mentality of the most thunder fans. I dont know if there is any other professional sports city that compares. Green Bay? Maybe. Hatred for Durant is probably second to hatred for the university of Texas.
Also, even to this day on the general board he gets ripped constantly by other fan bases. They’ll eventually be another player who the hate transfers to but the weakness of his move will always be a part of his legacy.
