Los Angeles Lakers Fan
If Kevin Durant were to join the Lakers - I think the Lakers and the Warriors would be evenly matched and a seven game series could go either way - I do think either way this season will be the last season the Warriors flat out dominate every one. They have a had a great run - now personally - given the choice, I would rather have K Leonard then Durant - but out of the top five or so players that will be free agents - I think the Lakers chances of getting one are excellentWhy?
Him leaving the Warriors immediately weakens them severely while strengthening whoever he signs with.
The Lakers are defintely a team he would put over the top if he went there. The West is is still really good, but a lot less scary with KD off the Warriors.
Signing in the East with a second tier team would be the bad move.
What gets neglected in the East/West FA convos is that getting to the Finals is great and all, but you need to be good enough to actually win when you get there.
