The NBA will add two new teams! Durant, ecstasy! I ve been waiting for a full 17 years

NBA President Xiao Hua announced that he will discuss the issue of league expansion with the bosses this summer, and plans to increase it to 32 teams.

If nothing unexpected happens, the NBA will set up a new team in two local American cities, Seattle and Las Vegas.

It is worth mentioning that there was an NBA team in Seattle before called the Supersonics, but it moved to Oklahoma City in the summer of 2008 and changed its name to the current Thunder.

Suns star Durant was the NBA who was selected by the Supersonics in the 2007 draft, but the two sides only cooperated for one season. At that time, KD played 80 regular season games in 2007-08, averaged 34.6 minutes per game, scoring 20.3 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists. In the 2018 NBA preseason, Durant, who played for the Warriors at that time, returned to the Supersonic home court and was still warmly welcomed by local fans, feeling like he had never left.

Durant has always been looking forward to his parent team returning to the NBA, and has repeatedly stated in public that if the Seattle Supersonics return to the league, he will be happy to provide help within his ability.

Durant will be 37 years old in September this year, but he is still one of the best stars in the league. This season, he averaged 26.6 points, 6 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.2 caps per game, with 52.7%, 43% and 83.9% shooting percentages in three events. As long as he is willing, he can play until the day the Supersonics return to the NBA.

Since the NBA is ready to discuss military expansion publicly, it means that the day for the official military expansion is coming and may be realized in the next two or three years, Durant can naturally wait for this day.

Really, I have the hope to see Durant wearing a supersonic robe again, and I must have been impatient for this. After all, the team is its roots!
