Teams learned by watching Cleveland. They already knew the same about Durant. Play rough and they can't take it. The NBA of the Jordan era would have been to hard on them. Go back to the 70's with real hand checks and no zone defense and it would be worse for them. Not enough basketballs.

Kevin Durant to sign with Warriors

Durant is expected to sign a two-year, $54.3 million contract, sources told ESPN's Marc Stein. The deal would include a player option after the first year.

"The primary mandate I had for myself in making this decision was to have it based on the potential for my growth as a player -- as that has always steered me in the right direction," Durant wrote. "But I am also at a point in my life where it is of equal importance to find an opportunity that encourages my evolution as a man: moving out of my comfort zone to a new city and community which offers the greatest potential for my contribution and personal growth.

"With this in mind, I have decided that I am going to join the Golden State Warriors."

After Durant signs with Golden State, two-time reigning MVP Stephen Curry will become the fourth-highest-paid player on the Warriors. Durant will be No. 1, followed by Klay Thompson ($16.6 million), Draymond Green ($15.3 million) and Curry ($12.1 million), who can become a free agent after next season.

At least Lebron left a shit team when he went to Miami. Durant not only leaves a team that was minutes away from the finals but joins the team that beat him?
