This is what I'll be looking most forward to -

Draymond and KD being able to guard any roll-man, ball-handler or post-player is going to be :ohlawd:. Dudes don't even know how great KD will be for their defense, considering he'll be their longest player on the court in most lineups.


With his length, Kerr will put in the 5. He will struggle against real centers like Cousins and Drummond though.

Would've rather KD leave for the Spurs or Clippers. Both Doc and Pop elite head coaches would coach to his strengths. Less Iso, less Russ starting the offense late,less KD handling the ball up the court, less TOs, less getting the ball with 7 on the shot clock. More catching the ball in the flow of the offense, open shots off screens, better point guard play, better team chemistry.

GS is a great team to go to but they are already proven champs, have won without KD, are the most talented team, just went 73-9, have the 2 time MVP and just eliminated you. A true competitor wouldn't join them.

As someone who favorite player was KD. His performance in game 6 and 7 and now this decision is so so so so depressing.

And they'll have trouble guarding him on the perimeter

Dubs are also quick and long enough to collapse on a nikka like Cousins then rotate and close out on shooters

I still think Dray is staying at the 5 once they go small doe

I'm looking forward to a lot of things next season:

- Rose staying healthy (and the Knicks as a unit) and showing he still is one of the best PGs in the game - Knicks making playoffs
- How the Celtics go with a legit big man option - the one thing they were missing last season
- What kind of unicorn statline Westbrook will put up
- How G.Hill, Diaw and Iso Joe will add a much needed balance to an inexperienced Jazz squad - playoff berth
- How good the Magic's frontcourt defense will be (argument for best in the league) and how all their pieces will fit
- How Giannis will go as the fulltime PG, plus how the Bucks' FA additions (Teletovic is going to wonders for their floor spacing) add value to their squad
- If Wade does leave Miami, how will he go taking a backseat and adapting to a new system
- Howard trying to rekindle his game now that he will be the centerpiece again in his hometown
- Who out of the top picks (Simmons, Ingram, Brown and Dunn) separates themselves from the pack
- Watching the T'Wolves build on last season (particularly on defense) with Thibs as coach
- Porzingis taking the next step into stardom
- Seeing Embiid actually suit up and take the floor
- How good the Rockets' offense will be with the additions of Anderson/Gordon and D'Antoni as coach

And that's just off the top of my head - you can stop following me around and get off my dikk now.

What are you saying. The only thing that you can claim is some so-called "karma" of Seattle. But if you believe in that, then believe in the Lil B curse.

But the Thunder organization done everything. Considering they started 10 years ago with pure garbage. They literally had to start from the ground up and in doing it developed not one, but two, but THREE of today's elite NBA players in the league with Durant, Westbrook, and Harden. So how it is that they did not "developed" them. What hurt the Thunder was 1st, Harden being traded because Harden wanted to be his own man and the Thunder at the time couldn't afford him, 2nd the injuries that prolonged, and 3rd never having an easy route to the finals like there is with the Eastern conference. They had to face foes like the Spurs and Golden State.


The thunder did not start from the ground up.
They jettisoned a team that had playoff potential and nightly mismatch potential. If they were not trying to steal the sonics away from Seattle like they were the Cleveland Browns or Baltimore colts both sauntering off into the night to other cities. This org trade away Rey rey, did not resign flip or Lewis.
Plus had Durant and pulled a coup to steal the sonics.
Then, after that lowballed or restricted players stashed on the roster via lack of minutes.
To try to resign them as low quality.
based on lack of court time via the old salary cap and bargaining agreement.
Like they did harden and it failed and continued to do so.
Plus did hot develop perry Jones and Jones was able to score in durant absent.
to the tune of close to thirty a game in the start of the 2014 season.
So, fukk the thunder.

Thunder made their shytty bed and created the lack of good faith parameter.
that durant swerved away from.
It was bound to happen because russ is going to leave for la, and that was a foregone conclusion.
Plus, the thunder always played lIke fukk winning here.
or I am stuck in swaggerless thieving ass okc thunder org.

If you did not see this coming back in Seattle, then you lauced't.

Now y'all wanna play stupid :stopitslime:
Steph wasnt doubled. There was a lot of ball denial but thats about it. Any other decent PG would have brought the ball up the court but Steph is a guy whose game is premised on runnning around screens trying to get open from screens to then chuck a 3 vs playing his defenders straight up. His distance shooting threat is about the only elite thing that homie has and i'd hate to see that inevitably slip away.
