Re: 2023 NBA Season

And he has been criticized as well by many basketball analyst, leaving Nets and then the Warriors winning the championship? That could really hurt Durant inside that's why he wanted to leave and find a new team to win again. But time is running out, it will be hard to find a championship caliber team in exchange of him.

Actually Durant should not be surprise that the Warriors won a championship because the Warriors are already a championship team before he joined the team. He only made the Warriors better but they are still good even without him, as Draymond said, "we don't need you", he was right.

This is the reason why Durant join the Warriors because he know that this is already a championship caliber team and he will get more higher chances to get a ring with them compare if he stays in OKC. Now its proven that he cannot lift up his team when he's on Brooklyn and this one indicate that they don't need Durant to win another championship.

Durant had a good season with OKC, if they only continue to build their team, they might become a championship team, but he took the shortcut, win a championship by joining a good team and leaving to prove that he does not need the Warriors, turns out he was wrong, so he cannot come back to the Warriors now. I cannot imagine what Green is thinking about him now.

That trio in OKC should have been unstoppable but Durant was kinda in high regard for his talent, when in fact they were already a championship-caliber during that time when they made it to the NBA Finals in 2012. He's just an opportunist I'd say, when he sees that GSW lacks anymore the chance to get a ring, he forms another team in BKLYN and one source tells that he demanded lot of trade for that. It's a slap to his face, I'd say.

I almost forget they had a trio, are you referring to Serge Ibaka?

This guy has been a huge asset for the OKC but they could not really win a champion.
Of the big 3, only Westbrook has not won a championship.

Durant won as Warriors, while Ibaka won as Toronto Raptors.
