#1 Not the Golden State way of functioning
Since the new ownership took over, the Golden State Warriors have been one of the most professional franchises in the league. To their credit, they maintained that even once they received the detailed attention because of their success. They've always tried to, and urged their players too, to stay out of the news for the wrong reasons.
The franchise's culture has been to work together and just win. And although Durant hasn't done anything to threaten that, he has been in the news almost all through the summer for reasons that even he has admitted to regretting or claimed that he was taken out of context - the India trip comments and the Twitter fiasco.

The Warriors media day is this Friday (local time) and Durant surely will have a lot of questions to answer at the presser.
