Kevin Durant announced that he will join the Golden State Warriors on Monday and he stunned the NBA world while doing it.

Paul Pierce said what’s on everyone’s mind.

— Paul Pierce (@paulpierce34) July 4, 2016
Players went from surprise to realizing how damn good the Warriors are going to be next year.
Thats crazy!!!! KD in GSW???? .... R they gonna score 200 points a game
— Marcin Gortat (@MGortat) July 4, 2016
I'm not really surprised honestly! KD made a great decision! Joining the Warriors makes a lot of sense. The guy wants to win championships!!

Now EVERY three pointer Klay takes will be completely undefended. Listen: EVERY TIME KD/Steph is doubled? That's an OPEN look for KLAY!!

Andre Iguodala acted like he had no idea what was going on, as Andre Igoudala tends to do.

Dwyane Wade sent this tweet, which is cryptic to say the least.
Relationships are important people!
— DWade (@DwyaneWade) July 4, 2016
And followed it up with this Snapchat.

Durant's former Thunder teammates reacted in ... interesting ways. (We think Enes Kanter's message means "Turkey loves the Thunder," since Kanter is Turkish born. But that's actually a lightning emoji, for one.)

And then there was plenty of salt.
Somebody beat you ! And you go there... ? Superstar not doing that man..

Back to regularly scheduled programming....
— Danny Green (@DGreen_14) July 4, 2016
Green quickly tried to skate past his clear shade throwing but tweeting another innocuous tweet congratulating a couple of his friends.
Congrats to my boys!! @hbarnes and Big Marv!!!
— Danny Green (@DGreen_14) July 4, 2016
Nobody’s buying that, Danny. We know what you tweeted.
Jeff Teague had a genuinely good tweet.
The Splash family lol
— Jeff Teague (@Teague0) July 4, 2016
Anyway, the most important tweet came from a person who only aspires to be in the NBA, but isn’t actually in it.
"The BasedGod" wants to speak,As life unravels and superstars make decisions that change lifes, welcome home KD the curse is lifted - Lil B

All is right with the world once more.
