Kevin Durant had Twitter abuzz all morning Monday as NBA fans set up Players' Tribune notifications and read into every tiny bit of speculation before the announcement. Then, at 11:38 a.m. ET, Durant tweeted his article that announced his decision to sign with the Warriors.
Players on opposing teams know Golden State is now the team to beat, and that they need to get to work if they stand any chance. They were shocked when they found out Durant was leaving the Thunder.
