Oh I understand, well in the general sense at least, but the whole time people have been saying there's no way he'd take a one year deal because he doesn't want to go through all of this again. This contract still guarantees he'll have to do that.

So how much more money will tickets to games go up by after this increase in cap money (if at all)?
Besides OKC, this hurts the Cavs and Spurs the most.
Memphis, Clippers, Houston, and a few other Western Conference teams just move up 1 on the pecking order.
They weren't going to beat GSW 4 out 7 times before, and they aren't going to beat them now.

If the Spurs get Gasol and GSW has to lose Speights and Bogut, they may struggle against a big Spurs front court of Gasol/LMA/Kahwi.
Durant won't go thru the whole courting process again next season
And wtf are the lakers doing?

This is my hope. That the Warriors struggle with teams that can score in the paint.
Also, I think Livingston is a big loss as well, if he has to go.
Maybe Durant's top secret conspiracy plan is to break up the Warriors, and then go elsewhere?
ETA: Not serious on the conspiracy plan.

It'll be interesting to see if Russ sticks around in OKC after next season when he becomes a free agent.
Move them back to Seattle where they belong

Haha wanna bet on that (the team being gone?).
From The Vertical:
Dallas trading cap space for Bogut. Thanks, Mark Cuban for making this happen!
So they will have:
C:
PF: Green
SF: Durant, Kevin Looney
SG: Klay, Iggy
PG: Curry, Livingston
quote:http://sports.yahoo.com/news/front-office-insider--kevin-durant-s-options-184021631.html
The moves to fit Durant:
1. Renounce the unrestricted free-agent holds of Marreese Speights, Leandro Barbosa, Ian Clark, James McAdoo, Brandon Rush and Anderson Varejao.
2. Withdraw the qualifying offers and renounce the cap holds of Harrison Barnes and Festus Ezeli.
3. Trade Bogut's contract to a team with cap space.
The moves would leave Golden State with $26.6 million in cap space to sign Durant to a max contract.
However, doing so would only leave the Warriors with the minimum and room mid-level ($2.9 million) to fill out their roster.

That's a garbage bench, but not like they'll need it
They only needs 7. Iggy and Livingston are not garbage.
They aren't, but they both aren't getting any younger either.

Of green, curry, Durant and klay, curry is the oldest at 28

Every year in CFB and CBB you can select 4 to 8 teams and pretty much know 100% the national champ is going to be from that list. The same thing is happening to the NBA except the list is going to be about 2.
MLB, NFL, and NHL at least remain competitive.
Spurs
Gsw
Cavs
That is about it.

Sorry, I don't think the Spurs even belong in that category at this point. I know, I'm biased and the Spur fans will crucify me for it, but they just don't have a team that matches well against either of the other two teams. This while admitting they're a far superior team to my preferred Rockets right now.
