It’s been a rough couple of weeks for Oklahoma City Thunder fans. Longtime team favorite Serge Ibaka was traded to Orlando, and Kevin Durant bolted for Golden State just days later. Since then, Russell Westbrook has been involved in several trade rumors, and Dion Waiters, who played an integral role in the Thunder falling just one victory shy of a trip to the NBA Finals, saw his offer to stay with the team get rescinded. Things are a bit of a mess in OKC, but they should rightfully expect to still contend for a playoff spot next year.

However, that optimism isn’t going to come close to easing the pain Kevin Durant’s departure is causing. We already saw loads of people burning his merchandise, and now, stores are all but giving away his gear. Durant spent 9 seasons with the team and was glaringly loyal up until he picked the Warriors on July 4, but that isn’t helping his standing in his adopted home. ESPN’s Darren Rovel discovered that a sports aparell storein Oklahoma City, Academy Sports+Outdors, is selling the former MVP’s jersey for just 48 cents. They usually retail for at least $70.

Ouch.
