From all the comments NBA players current and past have made about Kevin Durant signing with the Warriors, there has been one missing: Russell Westbrook.
Westbrook was teammates with Durant for eight years, and had stayed quiet for the most part, until Monday when a report circulated revealing some of the point guard’s feelings about KD’s decision.
Anthony Slater of The Oklahoman, reported Westbrook was unhappy with Durant leaving, but is looking forward to the next season. Per Slater:
Westbrook has given the Thunder no indication that he currently wants out. To the contrary, one source described him as ticked off about the Kevin Durant departure, determined for this new challenge and eager for the season to start: “He’s ready.”
The Westbrook-Durant duo had arguably been the most dominant one-two punch in NBA the last eight seasons, but with the latter gone, it’s unknown how well Westbrook and the Thunder perform.
