Seriously how can the Golden State Warriors get any better?! Simple, by adding a former NBA MVP and scoring champion, Kevin Durant. Up until now it seemed like a long shot but today Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical (Yahoo Sports), known for dropping “Woj bombs”, solidified that it was a serious possibility.
The Golden State Warriors’ plan of pursuit predates their 2015 championship run, a bold plot to declare the futility of resistance. It isn’t only that the NBA champions are determined to recruit Oklahoma City’s Kevin Durant. The truth is that they’re the most intriguing destination to him. If Durant leaves the Thunder, the Warriors are the significant frontrunners to sign him, league sources told The Vertical.
The Warriors already have everything and yet they’re threatening to take more now. Steph Curry. Klay Thompson. Draymond Green. Committed ownership. Bob Myers, the executive of the year. Steve Kerr, a championship coach. Yes, Golden State has everything, including the ability to create the salary-cap space and a belief that Durant’s persona could fit seamlessly – even onto a potential two-time defending champion.
Woj goes on to remind us that Durant hasn’t made anything close to a decision yet, it’s still a strong possibility that he remains with the OKC Thunder but other possibilities are beginning to reveal themselves to him. As we all know, Durant is determined to win and the Warriors give him the best chance of doing so.
