Serge Ibaka was traded to Orlando before the decision of Kevin Durant to leave the Thunder for the Warriors, still the move of Durant surprised the Spanish star.
As he admitted speaking to “Complex” magazine he didn’t have any sense of Durant wanted to leave: “No, not really. And it’s tough for him. It’s tough to make that kind of decision and it’s not easy, but at the end of the day he needs to do what makes him happy. What he thinks makes him happy, makes his family happy, that matters. We have to accept that and from the position of Oklahoma City, from the team, it’s tough if your star leaves like that and I understand that. But, there’s some stuff in life that we can’t control. The fans in Oklahoma City and the team can’t control that and if that makes Kevin Durant happy, then good for him”.
And as he admitted the move was unexpected: “Of course you’re going to be surprised. But, as I say again, if that’s going to make him happy then that’s good. Everyone should be happy, that’s why we play this game. To have fun and if that’s the case for him, then good for him”.
