We’re starting to learn a bit about the end of Kevin Durant’s tenure with the Thunder and the latest details, courtesy of Adrian Wojnarowski’s ‘The Vertical Pod’, are juicy:
“I know Russell (Westbrook) was bothered by — and some other teammates were too — of, like, there was some knowledge there that Draymond (Green) was in contact with Kevin (Durant) all season long and they’re in a playoff series and I know there was some conversation around the Thunder team of ‘Hey man, this guy kicked Steven Adams in the nuts twice in this series and what are you doing hanging out with this guy? What’s the relationship? We’re trying to beat these guys.’”
Green was one of four Warriors players — along with Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Andre Iguodala — that traveled to the Hamptons to meet with Durant last Friday about signing with Golden State.

Durant, 27, agreed to terms on a two-year, $54.3 million with the Warriors on Monday after his Thunder blew a 3-1 lead to Golden State in the Western Conference Finals.
The Warriors will introduce Durant at a press conference in Oakland Thursday afternoon.
