On this day: Kevin Durant leaves the Thunder and signs with the Warriors

On this day in 2016, Kevin Durant left the Oklahoma City Thunder and signed with the Golden State Warriors.

Durant spent the first nine seasons of his career with the Thunder before entering free agency in 2016. Fresh off of blowing a 3-1 series lead to the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals, Durant decided to join them.

In three seasons with the Warriors, Durant won two championship and two Finals MVP awards.

Durant has been with the Brooklyn Nets for the last three seasons but it appears he will have a new home for the start of the 2022-23 season as he requested a trade.
