Kevin Durant is saying the right thing to media, but I don’t believe him.
With that being said, he could certainly change his mind. If he had to make a decision today I think he is gone, but a lot can happen in a couple of months.
At the moment he wants you to focus on the game. Here is what he had to say to Marc Spears.
“Yo, just watch the game. Just focus on the game and stop nitpicking, because it is a beautiful game going on out there,” Durant told The Undefeated. “What can I do right now? I can’t sign a paper. I got to do the most important thing, and that is play. And that is what we should be focusing on.”
“If I already made a decision, it would take away from the team, what we’re fighting for. Every play would be overshadowed by it,” Durant said. “It is not necessary for me to make a decision right now. It would be bad to do that. It would take the focus off of what is important. I would never want to put my teammates in a messed-up position. I want to forget about it.
“But it is still putting everybody in messed-up positions where everybody wants to know all the time, everybody is speculating and everybody is trying to get in my head and what I think about it.”
“I’m basically new compared to a couple of other guys,” Durant said. “It has taken the crowd a couple of years to get used to what I really, really do and get comfortable with what I’m doing. I get it. I wasn’t expecting anything from the fans. I feel like I had to come in and show that I deserve the love and the praise as a player. That has always been my thing no matter where I play. …
Here is the thing, KD could have said no comment or I am not going to talk about it. If he does that there is no sex headline for us to make, but when he expands his thoughts of course we are going to write and talk about it.
I still think he knows, but we shall see.
Flip the page for him fighting with Patrick Beverley.
