    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">LAS VEGAS, Aug. 20 -- Kevin Durant's cell phone rang at a Team USA breakfast Monday and upon hearing the ring tone by rapper Kanye West, Jeff Green scrunched his face in disapproval.

    "You got the wrong ring tone, Kevin," Green said, shaking his head. "Kanye says, 'Wait till I get my money, right.' You already got your money right."

    Durant chuckled, scooped some more fruit onto his plate and sat down. "Yeah, that's Jeff," Durant later said with a laugh. "He's always got something to say about somebody. I can take it."

    Green and Durant have known each other as acquaintances for the past three years, but in the past two months, they have spent nearly as much time together as apart. The Maryland natives became teammates June 28 when the Seattle SuperSonics selected Durant with the No. 2 pick in the NBA draft then made a trade with the Boston Celtics to acquire the former Georgetown star Green, the fifth pick

    A kind of feel good story. I guess Jeff Green doesn't like Kanye West,[​IMG]

    Encouraging bit of news on both Sonic rookies. They've been doing two a days all summer.

    I think this summer with Team USA gives Green and Durant loads of experience and they enter to NBA knowing what kind of game that is. I hope they can contribute from the very start of the season thaks to that stint with a Team USA.
    And also Collison will come out strong and I'm rooting for him this season!
