There will be two new teams in the NBA! Durant, ecstasy! It's been a full 17 years

NBA commissioner Xiao Hua announced,This summer, there will be discussions with team owners about expanding the league, which is planned to be increased to 32 teams.

If nothing else, the NBA will build a new team in two other cities in the United States, Seattle and Las Vegas.

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

Suns star Durant was drafted by the SuperSonics in the 2007 draft to enter the NBA, but the two sides only worked together for one season, when KD played 80 regular season games in the 07-08 season, averaging 34.6 minutes per game, cutting 20.3 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists.

In the 18 NBA preseason, Durant, who played for the Warriors at that time, returned to the home court of the SuperSonics once, and was still warmly welcomed by the local fans, feeling like he had never left.

Durant has been looking forward to his parent team's return to the NBA, and has repeatedly said publicly that he would be happy to help if the Seattle SuperSonics returned to the league.

Durant, who will turn 37 in September, is still one of the best stars in the league, averaging 26.6 points, 6 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.2 blocks per game this season, shooting 52.7%, 43% and 83.9% from three, and he can play until the day the SuperSonics return to the NBA if he wants.

Now that the NBA is ready to openly discuss the expansion of the army, indicating that the day of the official expansion is coming, perhaps in the next two or three years, Durant can naturally wait until this day.

Really, I hope to see Durant wear the supersonic jersey again, and I must have been impatient for this for a long time, after all, the team is where his roots are located!
