Without saying it in so many words, Durant scotches the notion of a Lakers partnership with LeBron

It’s the NBA’s version of “Where’s Waldo?” In the NBA version, Waldo is named KD and the trick isn’t to find him, but to guess where he’ll turn up next.

More than a few people think — wishfully, it says here — that Kevin Durant, currently in the employ of the Warriors, will opt out of his contract next summer and join LeBron James on the Lakers.

Think again.

Not saying that it’s impossible, but a recent and comprehensive Bleacher Report story makes a strong case, with Durant’s help, that James will have difficulty finding a couple of high-powered sidekicks in his quest for a legacy-burnishing fourth NBA title.
