Kanter made a Photoshop edit to Kevin Durant's post from when he left the Thunder for the Golden State Warriors. Durant's July post read: "My Next Chapter." In Kanter's edit, Westbrook's face replaces Durant's and the guard says: "I Ain't Leavin'." Kanter included the caption: "I ain't gonna join the enemy. Here I come."

Kanter made another post with "Crying Jordan" sitting at a computer in a Los Angeles Lakers jersey. In the caption, Kanter wrote: "Stop refreshing the page lol. It's true."
Lakers fans held optimism for retaining Westbrook had he became a free agent next summer.
Kanter has played for the Thunder since 2014. He averaged 12.7 points and 8.1 rebounds per game in 2015.
