This free agency period has produced some incredible transitions within the NBA, and the next one to be added to this list of players on the move is superstar Kevin Durant.

Obviously, Nurkic was not happy with the move as you can tell. But, can you blame him? As he expressed in the tweet, Nurkic seemed baffled by Durant’s move as he added the “?” is his tweet.
Many around the NBA such as Stephen A. Smith (see what he says here) have expressed their disappoint in Durant making another “superteam” (as if they were not already).
This is an NBA-changing decision by Kevin Durant and will likely put them at the top of the West for years and years to come. The Warriors, who set a league record by going 73-9 last season, will yet again be making improvements- which seemed impossible.
