Could be lost in the cultural need to address it, as it does affect their bargaining position, but it could also be to send a message widely that the players can't be calling the shots. That team was such a disaster from the start. I think most thought they'd implode and fight themselves. It was bound to happen. This sends a message that anyone coming to the team can't have an unnecessarily large voice. It's a good move. It's likely Durant's team leaked the situation, so it's a subtle f-u to him.
