Warriors star Kevin Durant said Seattle deserves an NBA team again.
Durant was drafted with the No. 2 overall pick by the Seattle SuperSonics in the 2007 NBA draft. He played one season in Seattle before the team moved to Oklahoma City and became the Thunder.
As the Warriors prepare to take on the Kings at Seattle's KeyArena for a preseason game Friday, Durant said he hopes an NBA team will return soon.
"For sure," Durant told ESPN. "Most definitely. It's a basketball city. It's a sports town. ... They have a good representation of basketball in the NBA from Seattle-born players, Washington state-born players.
