As news of Kevin Durant's free agency meetings leaked this weekend, there was a common theme: Each team brought multiple players to The Hamptons to recruit.
The Warriors reportedly had their Big 3 of Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson. The Celtics had Marcus Smart, Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder and Kelly Olynyk. The Clippers brought DeAndre Jordan and Blake Griffin.
In its two meetings with Durant, the Thunder elected to go with with only front office members like general manager Sam Presti, coaches, support staff and chariman Clay Bennett.
Why? Where was Russell Westbrook during arguably the most important meetings in Thunder history?
