Over the last several days, Kevin Durant has been busy nursing a new Achilles injury sustained in Game 5 of the NBA Finals. But apparently, he’s been checking in with Kyrie Irving, as well. Bleacher Report’s Ric Bucher appeared on Friday’s episode of “The Herd with Colin Cowherd” where he revealed details surrounding Durant recent trip to New York City for surgery on his injured Achilles: “He’s out of the hospital. He’s moved into a hotel for the time being in the New York area, and he and Kyrie have met. … They’ve continued the discussion about potentially playing together next season. … KD has moved all his stuff. He’s planning on spending the summer and the foreseeable future in New York. … Every indication, if we’re tea-leaf reading at this point, is that KD is making plans to be elsewhere because obviously Kyrie is not going to be joining the Warriors any time soon.” Both players reportedly have been interested in taking their talents to either the New York Knicks or the Brooklyn Nets following the 2018-19 season. Where the two will land, however, is still very much up in the air.

F 'EM LET THEM GO TO NY. AND WITHIN A YEAR OR TWO IRVING WILL F@!K UP THAT TEAM AS WELL.

THIS COLLUSION AMONG NBA PLAYERS MUST BE ADDRESSED BY THE NBA OR THEY WILL DESTROY THE NBA BRAND.

PERHAPS CREATE FRANCHISE TAGS TO TOP PLAYERS AND LIMITING A TEAM TO ONE OR TWO THE MOST SO YOU SPREAD THE TALENT AROUND THE LEAGUE. OTHERWISE THIS IS LIKE PLAYGROUND PICKUP BASKETBALL WHERE ONE TEAM PICKS AND STACKS IT TEAM WITH GOOD PLAYERS.
