[@animelytical8354]

Not really. What do you think the media's agenda is? The Knicks are a massive franchise (for some reason) with no star and that specifically said they were creating space for contracts the size of KD's and Kyrie's. Their agenda in a lot of this coverage is to highlight Dolan's errors and the damage he is doing (in a lot of their opinions)

[@_itsJV]

@@animelytical8354 I guess. But most of the media was making it seem like KD going to the Knicks was a bigger possibility than it really was. So the media was stirring all this up with no foundation really. They got a good amount of people trying to "convince" KD to go to the Knicks, but you can't really convince the guy to ink something he doesn't want.

4:03 is when KD says Draymond's bitching did impact his leaving. Thank me later.

[@eddiesneeh4266]

but if you follow the explanation, it wasn't the altercation per se, it was what transpired, the consequences. The media, especially in the Bay Area, started hounding KD every single day about free agency, they started gossiping about him and speculating about what he's going to do every single day and in the middle of the playoff run, and that's what ticked KD off more than the altercation itself. The altercation with Draymond opened up the door for lots of headaches for KD, and he's the type of person who just wants peace but at the same time he can't tolerate inaccurate reports about him. I despise the media, they're parasites.

@@johnanders6234 English please? Who "stole stephs shine"? Im a life long Warriors fan and Bay Area resident. NO ONE stole Stephen Curry shine, NO ONE ever will. Out here Steph is a god, even after KD joined, the people would chant "KD, KD, KD". But they chanted "Curry, Curry, Curry" WAAAAAAAAAAAY MORE. The Bay and its Warriors fans will NEVER put anyone above Steph Curry. Durant came here expecting to become the "the guy", and he was, on the court. Curry's shot attempts, and averages all dipped when KD joined. KD got two Finals MVP's, hit all the game-winners AND STILL......the people loved Curry more. Thats part of the reason he left.

"Draymond knew he was out of Line"

[@aaronmack9958]

He was not close to right. I think the warriors blew a great opportunity to show kd that he was one of them at that moment. They all should have ripped Draymond to shreds for it. Instead they let Draymond continue to talk and refuse to apologize etc. Basically condoning his behavior.

[@AR-rn8ok]

KD yelled at Draymond after draymond made the right play at the end of the game. Later Dray called him out for being fake about being 100% with the team. I see KD instigated everything, and Dray got punished for reacting because kd was more valuable to the warriors at that point. KD a diva. KD hurt. KD in his feeling all the time. KD never happy and always complaining on burner accounts.

[@aaronmack9958]

@@AR-rn8ok I get what u are saying but there is a difference between criticizing a play and attacking a man personally. A man is trying to figure out if he wants to stay with you and you are calling him out his name in public. He was better than me, because I would've been gone right there.
