Kevin Durant has shocked the NBA world as he announced that he will not be re-signing with the OKC
Thunder and will instead sign for the 2015
champions, Golden State Warriors on a two year deal worth $54.3 million.
He will be joining the ‘Splash
Brothers’, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson in what will undoubtedly make the GSW the most powerful team in the NBA.
This is a very bad news for the Oklahoma City Thunders as not only did they loose Kevin Durant, they are also on the verge of loosing another key player Russell Westbrook, as the point guard hinted at leaving the team.
It's safe to say that Kevin is a big catch for the Golden State Warriors having been named in
seven all star teams.
“It really pains me to know that I
will disappoint so many people with this choice, but I believe I am doing what
I feel is the right thing,” he said.
“The primary mandate I had for myself
in making this decision was to have it based on the potential for my growth as
a player as that has always steered me in the right direction.
“But I am also at a point in my life
where it is of equal importance to find an opportunity that encourages my
evolution as a man: moving out of my comfort zone to a new city and community
which offers the greatest potential for my contribution and personal growth.
“With this in mind, I have decided
that I am going to join the Golden State Warriors” he reported.
