KD on one leg and a month off from playing came in and dropped something like 11 points in 12 mins in and NBA finals game. The guy is a walking bucket so that’s never gonna be an issue.


The more interesting part imo is how is he going to be defensively. For example over the course of the two Finals MVP series he averaged something like 32/9/6/2. He managed to make himself into a very good defender that last year in OKC and the next couple in GS

I’m totally expecting his defense to take a big hit. We’ll have to lean heavily on Allen/Jordan/Claxton to protect the rim in the future

The Brooklyn Nets had enough cap space to sign Kevin Durant outright, and there was no specific advantage for Durant to take part in a sign-and-trade deal to help the Warriors out. Nor was it that great an advantage to Nets free agent D'Angelo Russell, who had other teams, including the Lakers and Minnesota Timberwolves, vying for him, knowing that the Nets would have to make him an unrestricted free agent to complete the Durant signing.

As a result, there were a series of squeezes put on the Warriors, a position with which they are not at all familiar. First, Durant initially balked at being traded for Russell straight up, multiple sources said. He didn't think it was a fair deal, and in this case, the Warriors had to not just satisfy the Nets, but also Durant.

Leverage was applied by the player, and Golden State had to include a first-round pick before Durant would agree to sign off. The Warriors begrudgingly gave it up and did so with a heavy condition: If the pick falls within the top 20 next year, they don't have to send it, and instead will only give Brooklyn a second-round pick ... in six years. It's one of the most unusual pick protections the NBA has seen recently.

Also, the Nets requested that the Warriors take on two players, Shabazz Napier and Treveon Graham, to help clear extra space to sign DeAndre Jordan, who is friends with Durant and new teammate Kyrie Irving. Golden State had to turn around and pay Minnesota $3.6 million to take Napier and Graham off its books.

Thanks KD...for the pick and helping get bum ass Graham off this team

Kenny on KD..

"I know I need his basketball acumen around and his leadership," Atkinson said on WFAN. "First and foremost is his rehab and getting that right. We are going to use him. We might have to give him an assistant coach's salary. You need to use guys like that. We're going to need his leadership this year. I know I have talked to him about it. He's excited about that. We have already started our conversations.

"You're not going to hear me say hey don't shoot the midrange, because he shoots at maybe the best level in the league. Three pointers, finishing at the rim, the whole thing, he's just an extremely efficient player.

Kenny on Kyrie

"We never pre-judge guys. We have heard it with other players that have come into our program," Atkinson said. "Until you coach them, I'm not going to judge that part of it. He fits perfectly in our system. We push the pace. Great left-hand finisher. I think what your average fan maybe underrates is his shooting. The guy is a great, great shooter. His shooting numbers are amazing. Off the dribble and on the catch and shoot, another excellent shooter."

Point guard whisperer with a happy Kyrie..we gonna be in for a hell of a season guys.... He's gonna have monster games

Nic Claxton is going to be a problem.

Sean Marks hasnt missed yet and this kid looks like another sleeper pick

He was the first topic KA brought up during his interview with Mike. The very first!


He used to play PG until 9th grade when he had a growth sprout and hit 6’7 all of a sudden.

Sean Marks has an eye for talent..
