On Wednesday, a story from Rolling Stone Magazine was published that centered around former Thunder forward Kevin Durant and his decision to leave Oklahoma City for Golden State.
On the same day, a story was published by Sports Illustrated which focused on Russell Westbrook and his continuing on with the Thunder post-Durant.
In the Sports Illustrated piece entitled "Russell Westbrook: I Was Never Going to Leave," author Lee Jenkins writes in detail about July 4 and what Westbrook was doing when he found out about Durant's decision.
