Creative Writing: Oklahoma City Thunder

Improved Essays
It has been less than a week since the Oklahoma City Thunder were eliminated from the Western Conference Finals by the Golden State Warriors, but it seems that everyone is still talking about Kevin Durant’s free agency destination
.
No doubt, Durant will be one of the most sought-after free agents this summer. He has been the subject of endless rumors and speculations over the past couple of days.

This means

In a free agency market, meeting with anyone to hear their sales pitch is still the smartest way to do. It’s like doing business, where you need to hear what they can really do for you. That’s exactly would happen here, Durant will definitely meet with guys and will try to create some interesting conversation. But this would not come as easy talks for Durant, expects some big moves and some freaky tug-of-war between several teams.

Still, it's really hard to imagine seeing Heat, Rockets, Knicks, Lakers, or Rockets legitimately competing for a single player, in the name of Kevin Durant.
The Wizards recently picked former Thunder coach Scott Brooks for Durant-related reasons, other teams like the Celtics have formidable assets to theoretically trade for another NBA big name, but would an NBA superstar like Durant really opt for Boston Celtics?
For Heat, it’s a little bit different is that for as long as Pat Riley is in charge of the team, it's impossible to disregard the teams’ ability to lure big-time free agents to Miami. And then, there’s also the San Antonio Spurs and Houston Rocket, who already shown their interest.
Finally, there’s Warriors, the team that ended Kevin Durant’s dream of NBA title, are said to be serious about signing Durant as being reported. Warriors will not go to miss this great opportunity to get one of the best players in the NBA

    The Chicago Bulls traded Derrick Rose to the New York Knicks over the summer, which was definitely in the Knicks favor due to the fact that Rose was a former MVP of the league. The official trade was Derrick Rose, Justin Holiday and a 2017 first round draft pick from the Bulls for Robin Lopez, Jose Calderon, and Jerian Grant. Calderone and Grant will not be starters and get few minutes of playing time, but Lopez is a starting big man. Of course some say that it was a good trade because Rose had unsteady health issues with his legs, but on the contrary, Rose had a decent season after missing most of last season and simply needs a bit more time to adjust. Granted some will say the trade had more depth and was a dramatic issue rather than a basketball issue.…
