“Here’s what I wanted,” Myers told The Athletic’s Tim Kawakami on “The TK Show” podcast. “Some people I had seen write that he made me fly all the way out there. I enjoy sitting and looking at you. We had a relationship. I like hearing news. I don’t think we do enough of this in life. Look at me and tell me what you’re thinking. Good, bad, whatever. Let’s do it that way.
“I think our relationship had earned that. So for me, even hearing that he wasn’t coming back in person, I’d rather have that all day long. And I appreciated that. Some people will say ‘Well, you flew to New York to hear he wasn’t coming back?’ Absolutely. I’d fly to China to talk to him about what he wants to do. He earned that. He deserves that. I wanted that. It also gave me some closure, as far as to hear somebody, to see their body language and hear their conviction and hear all of it, was better for me than what, a text message or an Instagram announcement or a phone call. I don’t want that. So I didn’t know it until then.”
Myers was grateful Durant wanted to talk with him face-to-face and was fully open about his decision to end his chapter with the Warriors.
“He told me to my face, which I appreciated,” Myers continued. “I didn’t know before then. I had a sense that it might go the other way. But part of me wanted to allow him … this was a time, as it is with all the players, they don’t owe us anything. This is their moment to be a free agent. He doesn’t have to tell me. He didn’t even have to say anything then. He could have said ‘Tune in, I’ll let you know’ or he could have done whatever he wanted to do. He’s earned that.
“So for me, I was hopeful that I’d get an answer and I did. And that’s when he chose to give it, which was his prerogative. So when I got there, we talked about a ton of different things, but obviously, it got to that point and he said he wasn’t coming back and I asked him for his thoughts and he told me what they were.”
This guy’s gotta stop kissing KD’s ass already..
