Kevin Durant Signs With The Golden State Warriors

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

SMFH at notion that Curry would become a spot up shooter if KD went to the Warriors.

 

[Ribbs]

The Nuggets are getting an interview? Whet? Why??



He's doing it for weed connects, only explanation for not touching a brush in his 9 year career.

Kevin Durant wants three things:

Be on a team best positioned to win him a championship.

Be on a team that pays him the most money offered.

Be on a team where he's the man.

Outside of the Spurs and GS, that cancels out all the other teams with the immediate ingredients for a championship run.

However BOTH GS and the Spurs lack the CAP SPACE for Durant and if the try to lose players to free up cap space, that could risk themselves as title contenders too.

This leaves the more likelihood that Durant is STAYING in OKC. Presti is already making moves to ensure the team is in the position to take it all being that they were so close to making the finals this past season. They GOT all the cap space to keep Durant good financially, and DURANT would still be the man inside of second or third fiddle if going to the Spurs or GS.

If Durant signs with the Celtics, they either sign another max guy like horford or flip the Brooklyn pick for cousins

If he goes to Boston, they become the best team in the east

He's gonna do the one year deal thing and do this all over again next summer. I could see both him and Russ leaving next summer if they aren't able to win this season

 

[FS4LFE]

Better not see one Bron fan try to say KD is a bytch if he goes to GS or the Spurs. Bron started that bullshyt. I, for one, hate that shyt but it would be pure hypocrisy for a LeBron fan to try to act like this isnt what Lebron started

Lmao it's in no way the same.

Timberwolves is where they need to go

All minny has to do is trade Dunn for a big

Westbrook - 33 mil
Wiggins - 8 mil
Durant - 38 mil
Towns - 6 mil
Okafor - 6 mil
Lavine - 3 mil
Bjelica - 4 mil
Next years pick - 3 mil

Goat squad

They only have 9 mil to fill out the rest of the squad, but all they need is some ring chasing vets

The heat set the precendent, now people will try to one up what they did

 

[Black]

Durant not leaving.

 

[Gangstar8]

Lmao it's in no way the same.

it is the same thing bytch ass lebron stan

 

[Ziggiy]

Durant should honestly take a page out of Lebron's book and say fukk the expectations and what "they" think he should do and do what's best for HIM and getting a championship as quick as possible. If that means going to the Warriors then fukk it. Lebron went to Miami, had 4 great years with his close friend, and then came back and won a championship for his home, all on HIS terms. Durant should follow suit, do whatever makes you happy

There is no precedent its always happened throughout the history of the game...

Miami was a response to Boston. LeBron and Wade were victims to Boston while Bosh was called an empty stats player who couldn't get Toronto in the playoffs.

Nah, you're wrong

2 top 7 players and a top 15 player took paycuts to play together

That has not happened in the history of modern basketball

 

[MyApps]

I think it's odd that no one is bringing up his injury history. With the foot issues he's had, he could lose a lot of money next year with another injury. Remember, he's not Lebron you can't trust him to stay healthy every year.

I think his competitiveness will stop him from joining the Warriors. Miami is out of the question because he would be following Lebron footsteps. San Antonio is the only logical destination.

No, I'm not what you think they ranked as players is irrelevant. The point is All-Stars teamed up, great players looked to play with great players...

James and Wade carried poor casts for years losing to a stacked Boston team while Bosh couldn't make the playoffs.

Pierce, Garnett, Allen, Rondo
Shaq, Kobe, Payton, Malone
Hakeem, Drexler, Charles Barkley, later Scottie Pippen

How about way back when Wilt joined West, Goodrich and Baylor?

Orlando almost had a Tracy McGrady, Grant Hill, Tim Duncan big three. At the end of the day the greatest teams won because they had multiple HoFers and All-Stars. Bird had McHale/Parish/DJ, Magic had Kareem and Worthy, Jordan had Pippen and Rodman. Whether it's organic through drafting or through free agency and trades. Stars playing with stars have always happened.

When have 3 stars taken paycuts to team up?

You're bringing up sh*t that almost happened.

Miami was unprecedented, your agenda won't change that

Bringing up teams from the 80s is irrelevant, there were like 22 teams in the league
