Kevin Durant had other plans though and took his talents to Brooklyn. It\u2019s safe to say that the team has never been the same since. Now, both Durant and Draymond Green, the protagonists of the argument that potentially broke up that Warriors team are revealing what really happened. Spoiler alert, if you\u2019re one of those people that loves to call Kevin Durant soft, or Draymond Green a real pain in the behind, you\u2019ll love this story!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Went_Down\"><\/span><b>What Went Down<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_85175\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-85175\" style=\"width: 683px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-85175\" src=\"https:\/\/assetblast.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/mega628022_002-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Drake and Kevin Durant are spotted leaving The Nice Guy\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assetblast.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/mega628022_002-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/assetblast.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/mega628022_002-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/assetblast.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/mega628022_002-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/assetblast.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/mega628022_002-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/assetblast.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/mega628022_002-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/assetblast.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/mega628022_002.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-85175\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">MEGA<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Back in the 2018-19 season the two players got into a heated argument that may or may not have gotten close to a full-blown brawl. (That depends on who you ask). What is true is that the argument did not sit well particularly with Durant. The issue strained the relationship between the star and the organization. So much so that he ultimately left the team at the end of the season. Now the 2 stars are in peace talks. Both sitting down to have a face to reconciliation for Bleacher Report.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kevin_Durant_Got_Mad_At_Management\"><\/span><b>Kevin Durant Got Mad At Management<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_85176\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-85176\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/assetblast.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/mega771459_007-scaled.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy lazy-hidden size-large wp-image-85176\" data-lazy-type=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/assetblast.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/mega771459_007-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Team USA Bradley Beal and Jerami Grant are ruled out of Olympics due to Covid-19 issues as they are spotted for last time with their team mates in Las Vegas\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-85176\" src=\"https:\/\/assetblast.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/mega771459_007-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Team USA Bradley Beal and Jerami Grant are ruled out of Olympics due to Covid-19 issues as they are spotted for last time with their team mates in Las Vegas\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assetblast.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/mega771459_007-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/assetblast.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/mega771459_007-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assetblast.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/mega771459_007-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/assetblast.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/mega771459_007-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/assetblast.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/mega771459_007-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/assetblast.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/mega771459_007-702x526.jpg 702w, https:\/\/assetblast.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/mega771459_007-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><\/noscript><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-85176\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">MEGA<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From Kevin Durant\u2019s point of view, the issue wasn\u2019t necessarily the argument itself.

Draymond recalls having a 2-hour sit down with Kerr the day after the incident. Kerr wanted to persuade Draymond to apologize to Durant. That just wasn\u2019t in the cards for Green, though. He mentioned,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI told them then and there, \u2018ya\u2019ll are about to f\u2013k this up.

There\u2019s nothing ya\u2019ll can do, and ya\u2019ll are going to f\u2013k this up.\u2019 And in my opinion, they f\u2014-d it up.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"They_Are_Who_We_Thought_They_Were\"><\/span><b>They Are Who We Thought They Were\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy lazy-hidden aligncenter\" data-lazy-type=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/fvT2tuQGmYxsQbSrQH\/giphy.gif\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/fvT2tuQGmYxsQbSrQH\/giphy.gif\"\/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The amazing thing about the whole story is that these 2 got into an argument, and now blame the fallout of the argument on people who really didn\u2019t have anything to do with the issue in the first place. Ultimately, the historically non-confrontational Durant chose to leave the team. Keeping Draymond on the team has certainly looked like the wrong decision to this point. As the Warriors went from playing in the NBA finals to having a real shot to get the number one pick in the draft the next year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Draymond and KD Reveal What Really Happened with Warriors Fallout | FULL INTERVIEW (Chips)\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3x6DjeJNd64?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
