From MT2:

Kevin Durant is not an alpha dog. He is a franchise talent, and arguably the best at what he does best. But he's not the kind of personality that is about to come to the Warriors and plant his flag.

No, Durant is approaching 28 years old and his 10th NBA season. His itch for a championship, if you believe him, is significantly stronger than his desire to be top dog.

That is why this quartet of stars has a chance to work.

Harrison Barnes says decision to leave the Warriors ‘was more so made for me’


“Right after the KD decision happened, I texted everyone individually something special to them whatever it was, whatever my relationship was with them,” Barnes recently told The Undefeated. “I didn’t want to do the cliché, ‘I’m out guys.’ I wanted to text each person individually and tell them that we are family and how much they meant to me.”

“When you get to the Finals, ultimately your season is judged on what you do at the end. Those last two games, obviously, I didn’t shoot it well. That’s part of the criticism. If we win that game, then the storyline is completely different. It’s about how you battled through adversity and won. But we didn’t. That’s kind of the cross you have to bear and move on.”

“Oakland was unbelievable,” Barnes said. “When I first got drafted there, there was such a reputation about what Oakland was like. Myself actually living there for four years, living downtown, I was able to get a great appreciation for the community and the people that are there. It made me realize that you can’t just take what people say at face value.

“People were trying to say that it is a community that is run down, that you shouldn’t live there, you should live in San Francisco. People there were always consistent with me. They always showed me love. It really does have a lot of culture. It’s changing so much even the four years I was there.”
