The first night of NBA free agency was a wild one for the Golden State Warriors, one with twists, turns, and a whole lot of activity. But at the end of the day, Warriors fans have to be happy with the outcome.
Of course, the early news of Kevin Durant‘s departure was an unfortunate blow that couldn’t be righted, no matter how apparent it became in the hours and days leading up to his decision. But it’s hard not to be optimistic about how things turned out.
Rather than simply letting Durant walk in free agency to join the Brooklyn Nets, Golden State made sure that they received something in return.
