Reporter he announced his decision this morning saying he wants to grow as a player and evolve as a man. And writing, it pains me to know that i will disappoint so many people with this choice but i believe im doing what i feel is the right thing at this point in my life and my playing career.

Well time to check in with abc 7 news Sports Reporter mike shumann who traveled with them during the playoffs. They are playing with one of the best athletes in basketball. Why leave now. That is a good question. And durant is a supposedly very loyal guy which means he talk with teammate Russell Westbrook who could leave next year and he got the feeling that russell could be gone and decided to bail this year. It is not about the money. He makes 30 million a year from nike in a shoe deal and a twoyear 54 million deal from the doves so the lure of a ring and a great locker Room Chemistry drew him to the area. Kevin related the fact that he went to nine nba title games and won only one ring and durant has a chant to get several a chance to get several with the doves. I thought he felt it was time for a new chapter in his life and career. And shu, what does it mean for the chemistry once he comes into the mix. Throw out your strength and number tshirts as the entire warriors bench will be decimated to facilitate the deal. It is rare to have four allstars and two mvps on one roster. And keep them all happy. The reason the warriors were if back to back finals was their bench. Now the new splash family with claye and durant have l have to play more minutes with a lackluster bench. Numbers could do down but theyll deal with that for another ring and if anyone could make this roster work it is head coach. Durant seems like his ego is in check but players like him are used to being theguy. And the warriors are now the most despited team in the nba, except right here in the bay area. Guys. All right.

Time now for ask finney. Michael, the first comes from kevin s. Who emailed, i bought a car alarm system with smart start features. Can the Company Charge tax for this contract . Oh, this gets very complicated. So listen up on this. Now, if you buy the alarm system itself and the monitoring and they put them together, then you have to pay tax on the entire package. If, however, they sell at alarm system and then the monitoring is separate, you can buy it separate. Then you only pay tax on the Monitoring System itself excuse me, on the system itself, not on the monitoring. Look at that. It is so complex i could barely get it out. Michael, lewis from san ramon emailed is it legal for the retailer to keep the tax when you return something. No. They are supposed to give you the tax money back. There is one exception to this. If they have a restocking fee that cost more than the actual cost of restocking, then they have to charge you tax on that. Wow it gets complicated in the state of california. And sam b. Asked via twitter, if it is state law that you are required to have auto insurance, why do we pay premiums for uninsured motorist. That is a great we have some Great Questions today. That is a great question. Look, in the state of california, when it comes to Car Insurance, we have laws that a lot of lot of people look at a guideline. And so they dont sign up. They are in huge trouble if they hit you. But that doesnt help you. You are still out of the money for the car and injuries and that is why we buy uninsured motorist. It is very important that you have it. Dont try to skimp on that at all. Now to see my report online go to abc7news. Com and click on the section tab and select 7 on your side. Thanks a lot.
