Well OKC is 44-20 fight now. Winning record with bad chemistry. While making it to the WCF 2011-12 season. Without a first round exit the last 4 seasons. No championship but still not bad if you ask me.
If winning is his #1 priority Portland has to be considered. Two 20 ppg scorers under 25 and a system tailor-made for the new NBA. Curry/Klay/Draymond Lillard/McCollum/Durant
We'll they made it to the WCF and that 2000 blazers team with bad chemistry could probably run cicles around this blazers team with great chemistry. I think the refs gave the Lakers that game 7.
He said in 2014 that the Thunder didn't like the Blazers, which is understandable as they were rivals in the middle of a playoff race. He's not a giant douche either... And he wants to make a run. Going to a shithole team like the Lakers makes no sense.
Something small thing that could work in our favor is that Durant likes to make beats and produce music. Dame raps, and CJ has a radio show, so Durant might look at that as an off the court benefit. They would mesh well. Even smaller but another possible benefit would be his relationship with Nike and their headquarters here.
If he leaves OKC, to have "his own team", that means he's going to go to a WORSE team than he's currently on. KD's never gonna win a championship. He's a very good player, but also massively overrated by most people.
