Warriors star Kevin Durant rips media: 'Let us play basketball, that's all I'm saying' usatoday.com

With the NBA rumor mill going full-speed ahead of Thursday's trade deadline, one of the league's biggest stars has had enough. Speaking publicly for the first time in several days, Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant blasted the media, questioning the assembled members' motives and why he even had to talk to them. The source of Durant's frustration appeared to be the rumors that he is heading to the New York Knicks this summer as a free agent. "I got nothing to do with the Knicks. I don't know who traded (Kristaps) Porzingis. It's got nothing to do with me, I'm trying to play basketball," Durant said. "Ya'll come in here every day, ask me about free agency — ask my teammates, my coaches, you rile up the fans about it. Let us play basketball, that's all I'm saying.
