Also reportedly joining the Nets are Kyrie Irving and DeAndre Jordan.
In his three years with Golden State the team won two NBA titles, back to back, and Durant was named Finals MVP both times.
Warriors fans should thank this guy. 2 Finals MVPs, and sacrificed a year of his prime to try to bring a third straight title. Respect. Enjoy your new journey @KDTrey5. https://t.co/rvssIKw89b
