Thunder: Finally, the Warriors need Durant

The great Shakespearean villain Iago was scheming to bring down Othello when uttering the famous line:

“But he that filches from me my good name, robs me of that which not enriches him, And makes me poor indeed.”

Hasn't that been our mantra in Oklahoma since July 4? Not just our mantra. Much of the entire NBA's.

The Warriors added Kevin Durant. Not because they so much needed Durant — Golden State won a league-record 73 games last season — but because they needed Durant not to play for the Thunder. Or the Spurs. Or the Celtics.
