Russell Westbrook won't follow in Kevin Durant's footsteps and leave the Thunder (at least not yet). Instead, he opted to sign a three-year extension with the team.
Surely Durant has some thoughts on the move, but if he does, he's not sharing them with the media. As he gets ready to train with USA Basketball in Rio, Durant was asked if he'd offer his congrats to his former teammate, and said, "nah" — at least, for now.

Durant on whether he'll contact Westbrook to offer congrats: "Nah, that's a touchy subject. I'll see once everything dies down." #Rio2016

Westbrook was reportedly "angry and hurt" about Durant's departure, but we haven't really had a public comment from the Thunder point guard on the move (unless you count a laugh). Durant, on the other hand, has had to face the media and answer questions about all the hoopla, and has admitted he didn't intend to hurt anyone's feelings.
