    Default Warning signs that Durant was leaving

    Shooting terribly in the playoffs

    Announcing a newpaper article to make the decision. Think about it, he was only gonna stay in OKC one more year if he came back and a newspaper would have trapped him in long term

    Warriors players talking to Durant during the season and during the playoffs

    Joe Lacob claiming that they were far ahead of every other team in planning.

    What else?

    His Twitter has had nothing about OKC on it for months.. recently he's been talking about team USA and Austin TX to remind people he's not actually from OKC. Just like when LeBron was trying to tell everyone he's not from Cleveland, but Akron.

    "Basketball decision" and "It was a good move"

    Al Horford was the biggest warning sign to me. Horford would've went to OKC, but he couldn't get confirmation that Durant was staying OR that Westbrook is staying after this season. Horford would've went to OKC if he knew Durant and Westbrook was there.

    The trade of Ibaka for Oladipo. I mean please they couldn't win with younger Ibaka and James Harden. It's not easy finding a player like Ibaka that helped them play small ball like the Warriors. (this doesn't mean that Sabonis doesn't have potential, but is he ready to replace Ibaka?)

    The trade was an obvious sign Thunder was worried about losing Durant.

    It was obvious he was leaving when they moved the team from Seattle.

    GSW wanted a big dikk alpha Male. They got one, they finally got the franchise player to lead them to the dynastic greatness.

    And For KD's, He's finally got a player who's willing to play the Robin role(Curry) and good role players in Green and Thompson.

    WE WIN!

    Big dikk alphas don't shoot 10/31 in close out games to eliminate GOAT teams and move on to the NBA finals.
