Is it possible that Durant's camp has leaked this, in order to put pressure on OKC to surround him with more talent?
Jeez ... how much more talent does Durant need around him?
OKC is loaded with talent.
Well apparently he needs about as much as the Warriors have, haha.
I think the Warriors have as much raw talent as any team in the league, it's just a matter of that talent fitting together and making enough of a difference on both ends of the floor to be in line with the very best.
In a typical year, OKC might be at the top of the league despite their question marks on defense and in terms of moving the ball around the floor consistently. OKC is a cut above everybody else in the league aside from Cleveland, Golden State, and San Antonio.
But they are a clear step below those last two. This isn't a typical year -- we've got two historically great teams dominating everybody else.
