What was once a promising future now looks like a building about to be razed.
Waking up around 8:00 a.m. Mountain Time, I rolled over to grab my phone expecting an announcement from Kevin Durant regarding his free agency decision.
Hoping for the best and not expecting the worst at all, I saw the Bleacher Report update pop up on my phone:
"Kevin Durant pens free agency decision, "My Next Chapter," chooses Golden State Warriors."
My heart drop and my throat became tight. He did it. He really left a possible championship team already in place with the Thunder for one of the greatest teams in NBA history in the Golden State Warriors.
