Kevin Durant made the decision to leave the Thunder for the Warriors on July 4th and as you would expect, the chatter about it has been non-stop ever since. Everyone has had their opinion about the move and Durant has explained what led him to make the decision to leave. We basically have heard from everyone except Russell Westbrook and we have been left to wonder what his true feelings are about it.

There were reports earlier this week by ESPN reporter Royce Young, where he insinuated that Kevin Durant had promised Russell Westbrook that he was definitely coming back to the Thunder in a meeting prior to free agency beginning. On the surface it sounded like a pretty foul move on the part of KD to promise his running mate of the past eight years that he would be back, only to ditch him for the Warriors. Durant decided to speak on it during team USA practice in Chicago yesterday, where he denied ever doing that. The same reporter has also since clarified his own statement.

We have yet another report about the Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook relationship.  The first report said Westbrook was “ticked off” that Durant left and he is ready to lead the Oklahoma City Thunder by himself.  In the second report, Durant himself said he and Westbrook did not talk about Russell’s future prior to his departure, that he hasn’t really spoken to Westbrook since he left and that their relationship will probably never be the same.  The third report said Westbrook was angry that Durant left and he was hurt because KD didn’t tell him personally that he was leaving.  This latest report now says Durant told Westbrook he was coming back to continue playing with OKC.
