After being dethroned by the Toronto Raptors in the 2019 NBA Finals, the Golden State Warriors took another huge blow this summer after losing one of their best players, Kevin Durant, in the 2019 NBA free agency. Despite strong efforts from the Warriors to convince him to stay, Durant still ended up leaving Golden State to team up with Kyrie Irving and DeAndre Jordan on the Brooklyn Nets.
In a recent appearance on The Full 48 podcast, Warriors Head Coach Steve Kerr discussed several topics and shared his insight regarding Kevin Durant’s departure from the Warriors. Kerr told Howard Beck of Bleacher Report that he was “not surprised” by Durant’s decision to leave Golden State. Compared to the first two years that they worked together, Kerr revealed that he felt something different with Durant in the 2018-19 NBA season.
