Stephen Curry will attend the Warriors‘ meeting with Kevin Durant, Marcus Thompson of The Athletic hears. GM Bob Myers will sit down with Durant in New York and attempt to convince the former MVP to stay with the team.
Curry had been on an Under Armour tour in Asia but he is now on his way to the United States. Curry is expected to speak with Durant prior to the official meeting.
The point guard was at the team’s meeting with Durant three years ago when they successfully pitched the Maryland-native to come to Golden State. Klay Thompson and Draymond Green were also there in 2016, but neither will be present in person this time around. Thompson is preparing to undergo surgery on his own ACL (not to mention his own free agency) but he will join the pitch via FaceTime, Thompson tweets. Green has already visited Durant in NYC this summer.
Durant’s decision in 2016 hinged on Curry wanting him there. The former no. 8 overall pick assured Durant that he did and envisioned the two winning multiple championships together. The Warriors won two titles with the pairing and came close to a third, losing in this year’s NBA Finals to the Raptors.
Durant plans to speak with the Clippers, Nets, and Knicks in addition to the Warriors. It’s unlikely Durant makes a quick decision.
“Our medical team isn’t the best, but at least we aren’t as dysfunctional as the Knicks”
Dysfunctional is needing to bring up another team in your pitch. Smacks up being unprepared and/or unimaginative – which I’m sure the Dubs aren’t.
Maybe unimaginative is the perfect word for the constant, antiquated, “burns” for a team that has enough cap space to sign two max 10+ yr vets and also 6 first rd picks in the next 4 years (basically, straight cash homie) and a young core on top of all of that.
Plenty of clubs would kill for that level of “dysfunction”.
Carry on.
I don’t think he was being serious about that pitch bud
Damn, you sensitive hahaha
Damn. Next you are going to say avoid pitching FAs using PowerPoint….but all that work I did!
Imagine picking wanting to work for Dolan over Lacob – LOL!!!!
Warriors bout to see what “loyalty” means to Durant.
kawhi Leonard is showing what loyalty is. Win a championship for a country that loves you and move on immediately.
It’s disloyal to leave a team that traded for you and you had no say in going too? KD picked the Warriors….Leonard did not pick the Raps. Leonard did not have any feel good presser about how happy he was to sign with the Raps
Knicks brining in Charles Oakley to their meeting with KD.
Yeah because nobody on the roster now is worth anything.
Seems to me that in relation to Kawhi that the longer Kawhi remains unsigned the more likely he leaves if Durant takes his time on free agency.
Heal well, take your time, rehab as a GSW, Mr. KD. Good times ahead shall reward you for your patience, dedication and hard work towards getting back strong on the court. You and Klay together rehabbing towards solidifying that “unfinished business”. Team will hold together until then, Bay love is strong and supportive of your special powers, Mr. KD. Please stay with GStrongW and Klay. and Bay.
