The Golden State Warriors made a huge splash last offseason, signing Kevin Durant to a two year deal that offers an option to opt out after the first year. They had split the last two NBA Finals with the Cleveland Cavaliers, and coming off a brutal Finals loss in 2016, the Warriors wanted to emphatically set themselves up for the 2017 NBA Finals.
There has been plenty of criticism by people outside of the Warriors sphere. We’ve heard people say the Warriors are too good, and we’ve heard people criticize Durant for going to his rival to try and win a championship.
