After a report from ESPN’s Chris Haynes saying LeBron could possibly meet with the Warriors in free agency set social media ablaze & just about every daily sports show on TV debated the move ruining the NBA (or peaking worldwide interest); Kevin Durant has responded in typical Kevin Durant fashion:
“It’s bullshit”
Short & sweet I guess.
“In this league, just like a couple years ago, me coming here, nobody would have thought that,” Durant told reporters. “It’s part of me as a basketball player that’s just like, let’s just worry about basketball. Then on the other side, we know this is a business as well.”
I don’t want to believe the NBA would allow LeBron, Durant, & Steph Curry on the same team, however; I wouldn’t be shocked to see anything these days. Durant joined up with the Warriors after his ex-OKC Thunder squad blew a 3-0 conference finals lead, so anything really is possible.
LeBron has every option in the world and he’s earned it. But I don’t see him moving to the top of the pile to join a team that doesn’t need him & will not be his team to control.
Just the conversation will keep people interested, so I’m sure the NBA won’t do anything to confirm or deny the possibilities.
