There's a deep sense of unease settling into the hearts of Oklahoma City Thunder fans.
Kevin Durant sat down with the Golden State Warriors on Friday in The Hamptons on Long Island. The pitch lasted nearly three hours, and according to USA Today's Sam Amick, the meeting went "very well."
Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson, and Andre Iguodala were reportedly in attendance along with several of the Warriors' top management brass. They sold Durant on the vision of creating a "Super Death Lineup" that would presumably feature those five names.
Durant's decision will come down to which team gives him the best chance to compete for a championship. Should he join the Warriors, they would have four All-NBA players, the Coach of the Year, and one of the league's top bench players in Iguodala.
The inclusion of Iguodala in the meeting is particularly of note. Curry, Iguodala, and Durant bonded during their days with Team USA dating back to 2010, according to ESPN's Marc Stein. Having Iguodala at the meeting would also indicate that he would be retained in the event that the Warriors need to clear out cap room to accommodate Durant.
As it were, Warriors players have been recruiting Durant all season long.
Thunder fans can still take solace in Durant's ties to the city. He met with Thunder management on Thursday and reports suggest that the Thunder were in a strong position to re-sign their franchise player. OKC will meet with Durant for a second time after he wraps up the rest of his meetings.
Durant will also meet with the Los Angeles Clippers, Boston Celtics, San Antonio Spurs, and the Miami Heat before taking his second sit-down with the Thunder.
