I do indeed think the league has to solve that problem (my suggestions: name it the "Durant" rule), but that doesn't mean KD cannot be held accountable morally. There would have been tons of ways to get away from Westbrook and to a better situation, but he chose to join what already was the best team. He is the first true Nazgûl and many will follow.
I'm just glad this finally started to backfire in the ratings. I've been speculating that the lack of competitive balance will hurt the league and the first indications of that being true are out there.

I disagree. I think they do need Durant now. They really need more outside shooting outside of Curry and Klay.
