The Golden State Warriors are preparing to introduce their big free agent signing Kevin Durant at 4 p.m. ET, but they took the liberty of doing so a bit early. Golden State raised a massive banner welcoming Durant to "Dub Nation," hanging it from Oracle Arena.

This is a big turn from the scene outside Chesapeake Energy Arena earlier this week when Durant's picture was torn down, leaving a blank space on the wall.

The Warriors are understandably excited about adding another MVP to the roster, as are the fans. You can expect plenty of photos to be taken in front of the huge banner, just as Thunder fans did for Durant's picture at Chesapeake.
