Cleveland Cavaliers have me talking to myself about impact of Kevin Durant going to Warriors — Terry Pluto Author: Terry Pluto Publication: Cleveland.com
CLEVELAND, Ohio — Talking to myself about Kevin Durant joining the Golden State Warriors:
Question: Now that Kevin Durant signed with Golden State, will it be one-and-done when it comes to the Cavaliers and winning NBA titles?
Answer: Before Durant jumped from the Oklahoma City Thunder to Golden State, Las Vegas made the Warriors a 3-2 favorite to win the 2017 title. The Cavs were 5-2. Now, Golden State is still the favorite, the odds down to 2-3. The Cavs remain at 5-2. – CLICK HERE to read full story.
Cavs reportedly reached out to David West, but the veteran forward undecided on playing Author: Chris Haynes Publication: Cleveland.com
CLEVELAND, Ohio. – If free agent David West chooses to continue his playing career, the Cleveland Cavaliers are one of many teams interested in acquiring the power forward, league sources informed cleveland.com.
West, 35, is “still weighing all of his options,” cleveland.com was told. Retirement is one, following his lone season with the San Antonio Spurs.
The 13-year veteran opted out of a salary that would have paid him $1.5 million for the 2016-17 campaign to enter free agency. Last off-season he did the same, but it was a major financial hit. He declined a $12.6 million player option with the Indiana Pacers and ended up signing with the Spurs for the veteran’s minimum of $1.4 million. – CLICK HERE to read full story.

CLEVELAND, Ohio — “Do Warriors Become Greatest Team in NBA History With Kevin Durant?”
I love that headline on Kevin Pelton’s column for ESPN.com.
Supposedly, the Warriors will be able to sign Durant by not keeping free agents Harrison Barnes and Festus Ezeli. They also need to trade center Andrew Bogut. Anyone would trade those three guys for Durant. – CLICK HERE to read full story.
