Thursdays game between the Golden State Warriors and Oklahoma City Thunder will mark the first time Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook?face each other as NBA opponents, and despite all the perceived animosity between the two, Durant says he still views Westbrook as a brother.We were brothers. We are brothers, Durant told the San Jose Mercury News?on Tuesday when speaking of his relationship with his former teammate.Durants decision to sign with Golden State over Oklahoma City has been interpreted by many as confirmation that he and the Thunder point guard never got along, a sentiment Durant dismisses.You only see [Russ and I], everybody only see us, on this court at 7 oclock, Durant told the newspaper. So how can you comment anything we have going on relationship-wise? Basketball-wise, you can make your assumptions because its out there in front of you. Thats the facts. But you cant tell me what type of person I was with Russell or what type of person he was with me. They dont have a clue. They dont. So how can they say that?All that stuff I hear is lies. All that stuff that Im taking shots at the Thunder or Russell, its just there to try to separate us. They did it when we were playing together. They tried to separate us. So obviously, theyre going to do it even more now. Cmon. I dont have nothing against Russell. As I shouldnt. And I dont think he have nothing against me. I dont think hes taking shots at me. I dont think hes doing anything that everyone is putting out there. Its for your entertainment, your pleasure, your joy. I see it all the time. They want us to beef because of the game on Thursday. They want more suspense and excitement when they turn the TV on ... Thats what they want. But Im not letting that get between us.While Durant is happy to have joined the Warriors, he admits he couldve done a better job of breaking the news to Westbrook by sending more than just a text message.Thats something me and him will talk about. Im not saying Im right. Im not saying I did it the right way. Im owning up to that, Durant told the Mercury News. Were not going to go through this in the media, though. Im not going to say I shouldve did this, shouldve did that. Well figure our differences out as men one-on-one. ... Were going through a tough time right now in our relationship. But were brothers at the end of the day.Although the Thunder are now his Western Conference foes, Durant told USA Today?on Tuesday that he is still watching his old teammates in Oklahoma City, and he noted that Westbrook is controlling the game.Im definitely watching. The stuff that Ive been through with that team and that organization, that stuff doesnt just go away, Durant told USA Today. I said that in July when I made this decision. It dont just go away, so Ive got nothing but love for everybody there. Everybody. No matter how they feel about me, everybody on Oklahoma City, on that team, of course I watch them. I support them. I want them to do well.If he considers himself and Westbrook brothers and still supports the Thunder, why was Durants relationship with the point guard always seen as a point of contention? Durant says part of it was based on who the two are as people and where they are in their personal lives.Me and Russell grew up together. I was in the phase of finding out who I was outside of basketball. He already knew who he was. He already had a stable life. He had stable parents, a girlfriend through college. I didnt have none of that stuff, Durant told the Mercury News. Im trying to find out who I am, which I didnt know, which is not a bad thing. He knew who he was. So obviously, were going to grow [in different directions]. Its not a bad thing. Its not at all. We still hung out. Were boys. My interest went this way, his went that way. He got married, I didnt. He hung with his wife. What you want me to do? I love Russ. I dont care what nobody say. I dont care what he say or what the fans say. Like, this is a tough time right now in our relationship. But I love Russ. I love his family.Even with the radio silence between the two, Durant sees a future in which he and Westbrook are back on speaking terms.If Im getting married, hes getting an invite, Durant told the Mercury News. If I go to the Hall of Fame, hes getting an invite. Even if he dont accept it. Basketball beef, Im not on that.Deon Yelder Jersey .05 million next season unless Graham and the Saints subsequently agree on a long-term deal.

CHICAGO -- Veteran goalie Nikolai Khabibulin is returning to the Chicago Blackhawks on a one-year deal, part of a busy Friday for the Stanley Cup champions that also included new contracts for defenceman Michal Rozsival and forward Michal Handzus. Khabibulin, who played for Chicago for four seasons from 2005-09, replaces backup Ray Emery, who left the Blackhawks for a $1.65 million, one-year deal with the Philadelphia Flyers. Viktor Stalberg also left, agreeing to a $12 million, four-year deal from the Nashville Predators. Rozsival and Handzus each played a role in Chicagos second championship in four seasons. Rozsival agreed to a two-year contract, and Handzus got a one-year deal. Emery returns to Philly after teaming with Corey Crawford to win the William B. Jennings Trophy awarded to the team with the lowest goals-against average. Emery, who played for the Flyers in the 2009-10 season, went 17-1 with a 1.94 GAA last season. He spent two years in Chicago and will now compete for the Philadelphia starting job with Steve Mason. Khabibulin spent the past four seasons with Edmonton. He went 4-6-1 this past season with a shutout and a .908 save percentage in 12 appearances. "I think he is able to be the tandem with Corey thats worked so well over the past couple of years," Blackhawks general manager Stan Bowman said. "It was very appealing for both sides.dddddddddddd We have a lot of familiarity with Nik." Bowman said the team had several conversations with Emery, but he thought the veteran wanted to go somewhere where he could be the No. 1 goalie. The deal for the 40-year-old Khabibulin allows the Blackhawks to bring prospect Antti Raanta along slowly. Raanta agreed to a one-year contract last month. "We had confidence in Ray this year and well have confidence in Nik next year," Bowman said. In his first season with Chicago, Rozsival had 12 assists in 27 games and contributed four more in the playoffs. He has 64 goals and 208 assists in 783 games with Pittsburgh, the New York Rangers, Phoenix and Chicago from 1999-2013. Handzus, acquired from San Jose on April 1, had two goals and six assists for the Sharks and Blackhawks during the regular season. He added three goals and eight assists in 23 playoff games for Chicago. The speedy Stalberg showed some promise but struggled to earn playing time on a crowded roster. He had nine goals and 14 assists in 47 games, but was in and out of the lineup during the post-season. He had three assists in 19 playoff games. The Predators are hoping a change of scenery will help after he struggled to fit on a team loaded with stars such as Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane and Marian Hossa.[url=ht assists in 19 playoff games.
