When a star player leaves an organization in free agency or a trade, there is a lot of apparel in team stores and retail spots in the area that suddenly have an abundance of outdated merchandise. What are you supposed to do with all of the merchandise that only becomes relevant at Bonnaroo and well-frequented hipster establishments? You have to slash the prices -- sometimes in an effort to make a statement to the player who just left your team.

That's what is happening at a discount sporting good chain in Oklahoma. Academy Sports + Outdoors has taken these $69.99 Kevin Durant Oklahoma City Thunder jerseys and marked them all the way down to just 48 cents each. With Durant on the Golden State Warriors, the store definitely wants to make a statement and clear some merch. That's officially a good deal, even if it's for a player OKC fans might hate now. You can scoop up a few jerseys and work on some arts and crafts.

Back in 2010 when LeBron James left the Cleveland Cavaliers for the Miami Heat, the Fathead company changed the price of a LeBron wall decoration from $50-100 down to $17.41. Why such a specific low price like $17.41? That was the year infamous historical traitor Benedict Arnold was born. Fathead is also owned by Cavs owner Dan Gilbert and he was none too happy about the move by James. That's officially a deep cut.

The Durant jersey drop isn't quite as devious and petty, but again, you can't really beat a deal like that. If throwback jerseys ever truly come back in style, you've saved hundreds of dollars.
