Here's a thing that isn't going to happen, even though it should, while everyone throws out possible destinations for Kevin Durant (were he to spurn Oklahoma City in free agency) there is one city they are leaving out.  That's right people, I am talking about "brew city" itself, Milwaukee.  Now im a realist, I admit this unequivocally will not happen but, If you think about it, it would make a lot of sense.  Number one: He'd be leaving the murderers row of the West for an Eastern Conference with really only one dominant team to contend with.  Number Two: What we've learned this season is if you want to bother the Warriors, and if you want a title you're going to have to contend with them, you need extraterrestrial length and athleticism.  So picture this, Giannis Antetokounmpo, who started putting up triple doubles after taking over ball handling duties last year, he goes to the one.  Then you have Kevin Durant and a rising Jabari Parker at the three and the four.  That's 21 feet of athletic wingspan!  Keep Khris Middleton at the two and maybe play Miles Plumlee at Center and suddenly you've got a terrifying team.  The Bucks were one of the Warriors 9 losses this year because of their already long - athletic team.  If you dropped the Slim Reaper in there, suddenly they'd have the super star engine to drive the hearse that would deliver death blows to their opponents seasons.
