Kevin Durant, please return home


The talented forward must return to Oklahoma City from Brooklyn

The greatest NBA epics have revolved on a stratospheric star crashing landing in a tiny area. The Oklahoma City Thunder were expected to be a dynasty, with only the maturity of its young superstars standing in their way. Then the dominoes began to fall, beginning in the summer of 2011 when Presti declined to re-sign Harden, instead trading him to the Houston Rockets. It culminated in Durant's ninth season in OKC, when he was psychologically and physically exhausted from sharing the ball with Westbrook and carrying the offensive load. If he does, there is one storyline that has the potential to heal the evil turn Durant has struggled against and embraced since leaving OKC. The Thunder's stockpiling of draft resources in recent years has led to this moment.

To move Durant would necessitate a complete roster makeover, making selections the most desirable return. Only one club can provide this, and in more ways than one, it appears like Oklahoma's stockpiling of draft capital over the previous several years has led to such a moment. Oklahoma City would have to give up the majority of their 15 first-round picks over the previous few seasons. Presti must demonstrate that he has matured and is prepared to replace Coach D with a respected name if Durant demands it. Returning to OKC would be similar to James returning to Cleveland in 2016 after leaving to join the Miami Heat alongside Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.
