No, but he isn't helping. None of the players are. If Payton was still here, the franchise won't get moved without a fight.

He doesn't have to be a guilty party to share in the wrath the move will generate.

Re: Report: Kevin Durant Is The Rookie Of The Year

NEW YORK, May 1, 2008 – Kevin Durant of the Seattle SuperSonics is the recipient of the Eddie Gottlieb Trophy as the 2007-08 T-Mobile NBA Rookie of the Year, the NBA announced today.
Durant received 90 first-place votes (545 points) from a panel of 125 sportswriters and broadcasters throughout the United States and Canada. Atlanta’s Al Horford finished second with 390 points and Houston’s Luis Scola finished third with 146 points. Players were awarded five points for each first-place vote, three points for each second-place vote and one point for each third-place vote.
Drafted with the second overall pick in the 2007 NBA Draft, Durant averaged a rookie- and team-high 20.3 points – 7.6 points higher than any other rookie – to go along with 4.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 80 games (all starts). Durant was the only rookie to lead his team in five statistical categories, including points, blocks, steals, free-throws made and free-throw percentage. Durant also blocked more shots than any other guard in the league (75). He is the first SuperSonic player to win the award.
Durant led Seattle in scoring 47 times, including a career-high 42 points against Golden State on April 16. A five-time T-Mobile Western Conference Rookie of the Month selection (November, December, January, March and April), Durant scored at least 20 points 47 times and at least 30 points seven times. Durant represented the SuperSonics in the 2008 T-Mobile Rookie Challenge & Youth Jam, finishing with 23 points.

Congrats again!
On a side note, I can't beleve Luis Scola didn't get a single vote.
Edit: I guess they forgot to include him on the table.

Re: Official: Kevin Durant Is The Rookie Of The Year
In the report it says Scola is third, yet on the table, he isn't there?
Anyways, congrats to Durant, well deserved, but I was hoping Horford would get it.

Oh, you're right. I didn't read the actual report; I immediately just looked down at the table.

Obviously just a problem with the table then, hopefully will be fixed soon, Scola suprised me this year.

Re: Official: Kevin Durant Is The Rookie Of The Year
I dont fully get this whole "horford was on a better team" bull****. I have a feeling that durant could put up pretty good numbers on a 37 win team too.
Seriously, when did we want to start giving out awards based on team success for 37 wins?

Sorry, I don't understand who this is rooting for, Durant or Horford?
