I became a Sonics fan when I moved to the Seattle area in the early 2000s and absolutely fell head-over-heels for Kevin Durant when I watched him play in person against my Jayhawks in 2007, so I was ecstatic when he was drafted. But then, well - you know the rest.

I'm absolutely convinced however, that if the Sonics hadn't been stolen from Seattle (in an absolute cluster f**k at multiple points by multiple people - and yes, I'm still bitter) that Durant would have played his entire career here and quite possibly have won multiple titles. Today's trade announcement makes me wonder "what might have been"...

...and cheer that much harder for the Pacers tonight!
