While Durant defended himself, the rest of Twitter took the opportunity to post some hysterical memes.
There was also some analysis from some of the top pundits in the game.
And others rejoiced -- whether they were happy about the news, or just thrilled the Durant saga is finally over.
With Durant's landing spot -- or staying spot, rather -- finally decided, it's time to look ahead to the 2022-23 NBA season.
