The Golden State Warriors plan of pursuit predates their 2015 championship run, a bold plot to declare the futility of resistance. It isnt only that the NBA champions are determined to recruit Oklahoma Citys Kevin Durant. The truth is that theyre 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 theyre 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 Durants persona could fit seamlessly even onto a potential two-time defending champion.
Make no mistake: Durant isnt close to gone in Oklahoma City no decision, no leaning, sources said but the real threats on the summer market are beginning to reveal themselves. Durant is determined to win to be an immediate championship contender at 27 years old and that keeps bringing him back to the Warriors should he make the decision to leave Oklahoma City.
Outside of a Thunder championship closing down the process before July 1, theres a strong expectation that Durant will hit the road, tour campuses and become a recruit again.
