    Kevin Durant Wants To Be A Bullet?

    This is from an "anonymous" NBA player

    “Players will consider going to the East, for sure,” one Western Conference player told Basketball Insiders. “The East is down right now and the West is a dogfight. The seventh- or eighth-seeded team in the West could possibly make the Eastern Conference Finals with how things are now.”

    “It wouldn’t be a bad idea [to join an East team],” added another NBA player. “I’m pretty sure Kevin Durant is going to start it off and go home to [the Washington Wizards in] D.C.”

    Been hearing this rumor for a while. Hometown boy playing for his hometown team. Would put the Bullets over the hump.

    Won't really matter as long as LeBron James is still playing, but I guess it wouldn't hurt.

    It's easier to get to the Finals out of the East than run the gauntlet in the West that's for sure

    If Lebron and the Cavs get smoked in the Finals then there is absolutely no reason to go East unless your goal is just to make the finals. The best teams and players are west of of the Mississippi River.

    No doubt east div is weak. Not much of a tax on your body to make it out of the east. West you get challenged every round and are weaker once in the finals

    IDK, it is way too early to guess his intentions.

    1) New coach. Brooks was a boob.
    2) RWB A YEAR OLDER AND HOPEFULLY WISER. As the Alpha on the team he must realize by now he has to make
    KD the best he can be. Think Billy D will be good for him.
    3) He can make most bank by staying put
    4) Even without improving, they have be top 4 in league
