Episode Notes
On this episode of The Right Time with Bomani Jones, Bomani is joined by Logan Murdock to revisit Kevin Durant joining the Golden State Warriors and why KD left the Oklahoma City Thunder for Golden State in 2016. Ten years later, they break down why Kevin Durant chose the Warriors, how the Warriors built the perfect pitch, and why the move became one of the biggest turning points in modern NBA history.
Bomani Jones and Logan Murdock discuss the 2016 NBA offseason, the salary cap spike that made Kevin Durant to the Warriors possible, the Bay Area tech boom, the Warriors culture, and why Golden State felt like the right fit for KD at that moment. They also get into how Steph Curry, Draymond Green, and the Warriors' homegrown core made the team so appealing, plus why the partnership eventually became more complicated behind the scenes.
