Speaking July 4, Oklahoma City Thunder general manager Sam Presti said he was disappointed that Kevin Durant chose to join the Golden State Warriors. Oklahoma City was in the midst of its ascension to the top of the league, one centered around a quartet of young players: Durant, Russell Westbrook, James Harden and Serge Ibaka. Oklahoma Thunder forward Kevin Durant was named the NBA's 2013-14 most valuable player. No, the NBA is not completely at fault for Durant leaving Oklahoma City, as some have said in the wake of his decision. Even then, it looked like Durant would be returning to Oklahoma City.
