It’s been the better part of six months that realistic Washington Wizards fans have known Kevin Durant had no intention of coming home when he officially became a free agent on July 1st, 2016.
The plan that was years in the making, that required ultimate short and long-term sacrifices, and potentially left a once promising core scrambling for relevancy, was about to fall flat on its face and it seemed like everyone but the Washington brass knew it.
But nonetheless, regardless of what my mind has been telling me, when the news hit this weekend that Durant wasn’t even expected to grant the Wizards a MEETING, I was inconsolable.
