The Golden State Warriors want to continue their dynasty, but with the rumors of Kevin Durant to LA, how likely is it that they lose their superstar forward?

Brandon Robinson, a well-respected radio host, recently said his sources ‘can confirm’ that Kevin Durant will join the Los Angeles in 2019. While that’s hard to believe, there certainly could be some truth behind it.

According to Robinson’s sources, here’s the play.

"Just like LeBron planned his move LA a year or more earlier, #KD is doing the same right now. They want to form the best duo in the NBA and set up KD to be the face of the Lakers post-#LeBron.”"

Kevin Durant has spent his last two seasons and will spend this upcoming season in Golden State. Following his brutal departure from Oklahoma City, how would it look for his reputation and legacy if he jumped ship again and joined the greatest player of all time in LA?

The interesting thing about leaving the Lakers for Durant is that he’ll be getting older just as he gets to LA. Before the start of the 2019 season, Durant would’ve just turned 31. He might only have a few seasons prior to exiting his prime.

That said, here are threereasons why Kevin Durant won’t join the Lakers in 2019.
