10 reasons Kevin Durant's decision is worse than LeBron James' 2010 Decision

Kevin Durant outdid LeBron James by leaving the Thunder

#6 Thunder had vastly retooled and improved in the offseason

While LeBron James was regaled with tales of the potential of an over the hill Shaq coming to help him, Kevin Durant actually had a team which was going all out to improve.

Recently they had acquired Enes Kanter for a hefty amount to bolster their front court. Now in the 2016 off-season, they performed a miracle of a trade. They acquired Victor Oladipo, who's friends with Kevin Durant. They also got a stretch four in Ersan Ilyasova and an intriguing prospect in Domantas Sabonis. And all they gave up was Serge Ibaka.

LeBron's Cavaliers didn't have the pieces or ingenuity to add such help for him back in 2010.
