Kevin Durant's Final Chapter Is Inevitable… 

KD winning a championship in okc would go so hard

KD got every trade he asked for, forced his way out of the nets immediately after signing a huge contract with them just to go to suns, he gets what he deserves, can play for them until he retires and I hope they're ass every year.

Are you kidding? Warriors fans love KD. They don't love him like they love Steph, but they don't love *anyone* like they love Steph. Everyone knows he's going to get his jersey retired there (confirmed years ago, no new players are allowed his number since he left).

Denver would never pick up Bradley Beal lmaooo

Would KD like to be a Thunder again? Maybe. Does anyone think Presti would give up much to get him? Nope. This fantasy makes for fun conversation but dude is too expensive for most teams to want any part of trading for him. These days 35 ain't too old to play high level NBA ball but KD is owed $55 million two years from now when he will be 37. OKC ain't trying to pay him all that

KD never had any shred of loyalty towards OKC and especially to the ownership group and Sam Presti. He's far more attached to Seattle - the place he made his NBA debut. If there's a place where KD would like to bookend his career - a reborn Seattle SuperSonics (if the NBA ever decides to right the wrong) in the next few years would be his dream choice. Even if that means he won't be in a contention for a championship, IMO he would have no problem sacrificing his last opportunity to finish his career where it started - wearing a green uniform with SONICS wordmark on it.

KD deserves his number 35 on GSW he is 2 time FINALS MVP there

KD’s only “good” moves left are: Stay OKC Timely Seattle expansion team Anything else will almost certainly detract from his legacy. These are the only 3 situations where anybody would ever be convinced he might actually be happy.

My boy KD just needs a young team around him

As a Warriors fan who lives right outside the bay area, KD was never not respected by the fans. It was the media that didn't give him credit. KD wasn't seeing the appreciation posts by random people on Twitter but he saw all the bad takes and negative headlines from actual media platforms and personalities.

damn i was just watching all ur vids and then u post a new one lol

On the deadline when they brought Durant in, I was hoping the headline would read Ayton, Crowder, and picks. But of course it was Bridges, Johnson, Crowder, and the picks. Ishbia was over eager to make a drastic move and was blinded by Ayton being a first overall pick. It was such a stupid decision to opt to keep him over the 2 clearly better wings. But it is what it is. I think KD gets moved this off season, the Suns land a bunch of picks to restore that issue and the players they bring on combined with Booker and Beal will be competitive enough to make the playoffs. If they make the playoffs, anything can happen. I just want competitive basketball.

If Im OKC, I wouldnt touch KD with a vet minimum contract....OKC is set for the future with the team they got & all those future 1st rd pick they holding in the bacl pocket

Honestly…. As a thunder fan I’d much rather have someone like Al horford, or decent sized center/pf that can shoot. We struggled on the boards in the playoffs and getting kd wouldn’t fix that, plus it just doesn’t make sense logically to have kd, and sga on the same team.

Love this channel more than any for basketball news. Delighted the Ball brothers haven't been a topic this year 😅

Yeah it’s not happening lol, Just Phil tweeted abt KD coming back to OKC to redeem his legacy and KD flamed him 😂

OKC didn’t decide to give up & rebuild. The players requested exits. PG demanded a trade & so did Russ.

As a okc fan and kd being my favorite player it would be amazing to see

Patiently waiting for Hornets content

At this point kd need to say sorry to bron and just play with him 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

had a conversation like this recently looks like the obvious move for all party's and the only reason i can see they made the hayward trade to get cap for a trade for the true prize if this run didn't work out

KD to the Magic or Wolves would be the best bet for both teams. Wolves trading KAT or Magic trading some of their guards.

KD isn't welcome back to OKC if you ask me. Was truly invested in his belief at first and then he showed his true colors. Gave up in the conference finals to leave for that exact team. Truly not surprised he brought this whole "woke" stuff into play. Thunder have a bright future and we don't need the cloud he brings.

Warriors won’t retire KD’s jersey, but without a doubt, whether you question it or not, OKC definitely will.

Absolutely Not We Already Have Shai Gilgeous-Alexander And Chet Holmgren, We Don’t Need Kd

My Opinion Only I would LOVE for KD to Return to Warriors with Steph,Klay, and DG🔥🔥😎🤘🤘🙏🙏🙏!!

I think Phoenix blew their load early and should have trusted Booker. At the time, Imo Booker was not even at his peak and the combination of Booker + Durant stymies Booker’s development as a first option.

great take

As ridiculous as some people might think it, KD would be a great catch and shoot guy. No one's blocking him from 3. Only reason I can see for him not taking more 3s at Phoenix is the coaching isn't telling him to. He's been a sniper for a long time.

Durant is a warrior legend regardless of what people say 🙌💯🔥

Ggs KD 😢

Mavs fan here wish we had kd In these finals

DKM is a BEAST! Great job. I agree w/ you.

OKC could use a great shooter, good passer, and good rebounder at the 4 who can get his own shot, and their biggest need is a strong 5 who can relieve Chet of banging with 250+ guys like AD, Jokic, Towns (if he stays), Kessler when Utah fixes their perimeter, etc., while having substantial impact offensively. Jaylin Williams won't cut it at this point in his career. OKC should get hold of that 5 by draft time including using that #12 pick, and then see what picks are on the table. They have a lot of 2nds in 2029. We know that Giddey is expendable and Wallace is more important than Dort moving forward. If Clingan is still there at #3 I could see Houston trading Sengun. OKC would love to do Giddey and picks for Sengun while the salary works. The most favorable 2025 1st, both 2029 1sts, and some 2029 2nds should be something Phoenix can accept for KD. Jeff Green, Tate, and Sengun for Dort, Giddey, the #12, and other picks could work for Houston if they get Clingan. KD expires in 2026 which will have been his 19th season so he can't demand much pay after that. SGA/Jalen/Durant/Chet/Sengun with bench Wallace, Tate, Kenrich, Jaylin is a very balanced team that should match up well with anyone, unlike the Thunder we just saw. And OKC would still have plenty of picks and when Jalen and Chet need to be paid in 2026 is perfect for Durant expiring in 2026. I can't see that squad not winning at least one of these next 2 seasons if healthy. They could literally sign only shooters to fill out the roster, that's how you make a dynasty.

Tbh this is well deserved Criticism but i wouldnt write off the Suns after 1 season :/ like lets be fr they started the season dealing with injuries & chose to start winning late in the season which got them a 6th seed spot in a rough Western conference against a Great TimberWolves team who beat the defending champs nd made it to the conf finals . All im saying suns just need a True PG a Solid Rebounding BIG nd some depth on the bench nd they easily a top 3 seed in the west ! Look at all the past champs they didnt get to be champions off the rip in 1 year smh ! Lets see how this team develops in a year or 2 💯

I agree that KD would sign a contract now to okc, they need veteran like kevin durant

KD to OKC would be sick. Okc would have to give up a couple of their young guys to do it plus 5 first rounders. If I'm KD i'm demanding a trade to Okc immediately lol

Warriors fan since 2011 here 🙋🏾‍♂️ Durant's time as a Warrior definitely doesn't get downplayed 🚫 The fact of the matter is Durant sat at their table. Curry won before and after Durant.

OKC is so close to the team they need. If they get iHart or Claxton in free agency, maybe Drummond too as a backup big and vet, and then cash in some of these picks and young guys who aren’t impacting the team for an upgrade in Giddey’s spot. Whether that’s a consistent 3&D wing or a floor spacing scorer to be the second option. There’s so many options but the best are very clearly KD, PG, Lauri, or Mikal. At least one of them will be gettable. If they were looking for another roleplayer to go with that since they easily have the assets and the cap space, they also need to add more 3pt shooting.

I don't see why people don't see that Kd on OKC would be the perfect fit.

This would be KD’s best move. LeBron went from villain to hero when he returned to the Cavs and win a championship. KD could do the same.

Haha love the vid dkm wish we had KD back for sure! him and SGA in the midrange would be deadly. Probably not the best fit however, as i don't see presti blowing up the depth of this team for an ageing star who doesnt provide much else other than the offensive output from the midrange. especially when the thunder trade rebounds for high energy blitzes and rely on fast hands to get out on the break, which kd probably isnt capable of at this point in his career. markkanen however is more than welcome...

OKC would never give up sga for kd.

Jelun steel have one Oklahoma City fan ..his world fan iv followed jelun everywhere he went .. I'm still here my voice will be heard oneday ..OKC city love Kelvin Darant.... Still KD!!!!

Bro brooklyn was khyries fault not being able to play home games, and harden for being injured…KD carried that fucking team.

Boston literally has a big 3 in the finals(JT,JB and KP) with maybe even big 4 with Jrue being considered for finals MVP

KD to Okc would be the best thing ever

Suns should blow it up and trade everyone for picks and young talent. Especially if they can work out a 3 way deal to get some of their own picks back

KD 😞

I say.. "get the band back together"! Dude has mo idea about how warriors fans feel about KD.. WE love Steph, but we have tons of love for Clay,Dray,GP2,LOON,JK, And many players that have left but helped us win a chip ESPECIALLY KD. WE didn't call him "Cupcake" when he left, like OKC. Coming back to the fold is the only way he wins more Chips before he's done, I believe. Devon Booker fades under pressure. He's not the Dude getting you to the promised land. Steph is the most humble superstar you could ever play with. He still can make anyone better than you were before playing with him....

matt ishbia trading all their 1st and 2nd round picks for bradley beal is a very FIREABLE offense. He is an idiot. Owner with no clue on how to run a franchise.

KD is loved in the Ba Area

KD doesn’t deserve the hate he’s an insanely good player one of the greatest

I think it all comes down to who is on the trade block. Yeah, KD is a big piece, but as you said rosters are looking at depth now over solo talent. For okc its gonna come down to what else is on offer vs what they have to give. They might be able to get more depth for less picks

KD deserves to get shit for going to the warriors but why doesn't Curry, Klay, and Draymond get no where near as much criticism for recruiting him? They couldn't beat LeBron and the Cavs and instead of trying to get better with their core group of guys, they go begging KD to bail them out. Then they took him for granted and acted like they didn't need him after all

Chris Paul is all of phoenix’s bench they already traded everyone good for kd

I still wouldn’t give KD credit if he came back and won a championship in OKC. I mean hell why should he get the credit when that team is beyond stacked already

I don't think OKC needs KD that much, specially for the impact he is gonna have in the salary cap. OKC has a great team but they've got a hole in their roster. What they're lacking the most right now is bruising bigs, meanin size that can help Chet protect the paint, and can absorb physical teams that exploit their smaller less physical team. Chet is very good defensively, but we've seen against teams with size and strength that OKC crumbles, like the Mavs that eliminated them in the 2nd round, or the Lakers that despite being a "struggling" team half the season beat OKC with ease during the regular season. KD brings size, yes. He brings the scoring punch and star quality that is inherent to him, but outside of his size and some solid defence, what you expect when paying what KD is making is not what OKC really needs right now to take them over the hump. He can bring a lot offensively of course, but OKC are clicking very well on that side, they jave good chemistry and KD skillset would just be an overlap with Chet, and a bit SGA, and J Williams. I think OKC is better investing in and developing they're young core, than throwing a star into the mix that is going to limit their ability to make moves due to salary capital

I concur all around.....great video!

It’s not going to happen, 1) no one in OKC would want him back 2) he would ruin what the OKC are trying to go for 3) if they were to get someone like him it would be Lauri, he cost less, puts up similar stats with less minutes, will have a longer career left, and is a better rebounder. 4) he would cost waaaay to much 5) if any thunderer were to come back it would be Russ, he’s cheaper and people would actually want to see him win a ring on the thunder KD is not coming back, I do think his jersey will be retired in OKC tho

As an OKC fan we don't want him back

Nobody in their right mind debates if Miami should retire his jersey.

I’d love to see kd go to okc

Durant was the thunder

05:59 "Devin Booker want's to be a neck" lol

Great Video as usual DKM

This lineup would beat Boston next year G Shia Gilgeous-Alexander G Jalen Williams F Luguenz Dort F Kevin Durant Trade KD for 4 1st RD picks and Josh Giddey C Chet Holmgren bench G Cason Wallace G Isaiah Joe F Aaron Wiggins F Ousman Dieng C Kyle Filipkowski 12th PIck 04

Lebron didn’t win that 2016 title, Kyrie did

Westbrook was more loyal to OKC than KD.

id take KD in Sac for Ellis, Mitchell, Barnes, 2 + 2 picks and swaps top 3 protected

I think. OKC needs a veteran player with experience, I just want someone who can carry the load off SGA

Of course KD would go back there now that it’s built up again 😂

jamal murray not an official all star but lets be real he’s an all star caliber player

wrong on the draft picks, they own every other year, as per the Stepien Rule...you really should research what you report....lol

Watch a team like SAC or Orlando or even Indiana get KD😂

The team that has no choice but to retire the KD jersey is GSW. He’s the only 2 x FMVP🤷🏿‍♂️…

The disrespect Westbrook is the best player OKC has ever had period loyal to the soil period

Durant to the clippers

The only thing that can save his legacy fr is him leading a team to a championship. His rings will always have an asterisk next to them for jumping on a team that won before and after him

i wouldn't give up 5 first rounders for KD let alone Giddey and more. KD has maybe 3 more good seasons in him. I love this pipe dream idea but the thunder can find someone for way cheaper that could give a similar role.

All teams use KD to scare their stars out of leaving... " they will hate you"

Fire vids dude.

Come back to the Bay Bay KD

18:30 pascal siakem be like :o

Even if he does go back to OKC and win a championship, the fans won't respect him because the team as already good. The reason Lebron was able to clear his name with the Cavs was because they we're trash and he pieced together a championship team.

KD my fav player. He shoulda never left GS in my opinion. I rly dnt like him in PHX

When KD was on OKC, he knocked LeBron for going to Miami to create a super team. Then, he went and did the same thing a few years later. He's a clown.

fuck it kd and lebron on they final run with bronny

Okc is really playing mynba in real life😂

They need to kd back to golden state and draymond needs to suck it up

The biggest let down for this much talent

People need to stop saying this the only people think that this would be a happy ending are people that don't live in Oklahoma. He's not the best to put on a OKC jersey I put Westbrook above him and soon I'll put SGA above him

While this is something to be proud of and looks good - this shows really what it takes to become a pro baller. This guy wasn’t a collage bum. He was that guy on a march madness D1 team. He is the most decorated player in Patriot League history. Is career accolades are absolutely insane go look at his profile from Colgate; just to list some. Patriot League Player of the Year - 2022-23 Patriot League Defensive Player of the Year - 2022-23 Patriot League Scholar-Athlete of the Year - 2022-23 3x Patriot League Academic All-Patriot League - 2020-21, 2021-22, 2022-23 2x All-Patriot League First Team - 2021-22, 2022-23 NABC All-District 13 First Team - 2022-23 NABC Senior All-Star - 2022-23 Patriot League Tournament MVP - 2022-23 3x Patriot League All-Tournament Team - 2020-21, 2021-22, 2022-23 Richardson holds program records in games played (155), wins (110), assists (626), steals (221), and three-point field goals made (268). He finished his collegiate career with 1,740 points, good for fifth-most in program history, and helped guide the Raiders to four NCAA tournament appearances.

Sam presty is basically playing 2k myleague

You're talking about a pre and post injured Durant.

Hey the biggest difference between Lebron and every other player in history is he brought a championship with every team he played on no player in history has done that but him 😎

I mean come on you know if this is true then kd will hold a press conference and give a public emotional apology and the organization would bring him back for the rest of his career. 😂

OKC doesn't want him back so this is not happening.

Trade for KD Sign Rus to vet minimum to come of the bench Win the chip If this happens it will be fire

His home was OKLAHOMA City he couldn't be patient he turned his back on his home and now he want to come back
