"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For the first time since Kevin Durant joined the Warriors, Russell Westbrook discussed his current relationship with his former teammate.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Durant joined the Warriors last month, leaving Westbrook\u2014who had played his entire career alongside Durant\u2014in Oklahoma City. Westbrook signed a contract extension with the Thunder on Thursday that will keep him with the team for at least two more seasons.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Westbrook told reporters he found out Durant would be switching teams at the same time as everyone else.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201CI found out like y\u2019all found out,\u201D Westbrook said of Durant\u2019s departure. \u201CI talked to Kevin early in the process, nothing after, [but] a text message from him.\u201D\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 &lt;strong&gt;Grading the Thunder\u2019s franchise-saving move&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Durant told reporters at the Olympics on Thursday morning he had yet to congratulate Westbrook on his extension. Westbrook said the two will eventually get back in touch.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201CWe\u2019ve been together eight years. You don\u2019t throw that away,\u201D Westbrook said. \u201CWe definitely will talk eventually.\u201D\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
