Well the mainstream sport media was a big factor in ripping his decision to make the move. Including a ton of former players and even all-time greats.
So are they right or wrong? Pretty ironic you want to discount the mainstream media view on it being a cheap move that removes competition, while pointing to them to determine his championship legacy.
Just watch if the NBA titles accumulate. Obviously Durant Will go down as an all-time great player, and he will be considered the best player on a 'dynasty'. Team. His 'legacy' will be fine if they now rip off a bunch of consecutive titles. Winning consecutive NBA titles is VERY hard to do even with a stacked roster. There are so many things that can derail you. Injuries, Age, egos & chemistry issues, complacency, coaching mistakes, not too mention 29 other NBA teams trying to pull you off the mountain.
the longer the Warriors can continue this current run of dominance (now entering Year 4 with 2 out of last 3 NBA titles) then the more their legacy will be written as All-Time Great. Right there with other great dynasties like 90's Bulls (won 6 titles over 8 years) and so forth.
That is what they are clearly shooting for, we will see if they can pull it off.
