KD and Westbrook used to be the Batman and Robin of Oklahoma City. Then it was gone. Once Durant left the Thunder, his relationship with Russell Westbrook was shattered and according to Stephen A. Smith, it had nothing to do with Durant leaving.
As he explained on First Take, Westbrook was upset with Durant because he essentially lied to him.
Durant reportedly had dinner with Westbrook the night before meeting with the Warriors and told him straight to his face that he would re-sign with the Warriors.
