Kevin Durant Signs With The Golden State Warriors

[CarltonJunior]

I think KD will average a double double. 24-10-5

If no one gets injured that's good enough to win MVP assuming Steph's numbers also go down.

I'm pretty much expecting everyone's numbers to go down...except Draymond. Those assist numbers are going to be phenomenal.

No way anyone on the Warriors gets MVP this first year tho. I think there scoring goes down but everything else stays basically the same.

You'll be surprised. The only people I can see putting up silly ass numbers is probably Paul George or Westbrook, but neither of them are going to win enough games. If Warriors win upwards of 65 games then the highest scoring member of that team will be MVP probably.

KD had to do something...he was NEVER going to win a ring in OKC...you go up 3 - 1 on a 73 win team and can't close the deal...you will NEVER close the deal...so for everyone saying he should have stayed you are effectively saying he should never win a title...because he wasn't...so I don't fault him for that...

Now what is some straight up sucka shyt is his little letter about growing as a player and growing as a man...uh...yeah...when you go join a team that won 73 games and is Americas favorite sports team...you not going to grow as a man...you not going to grow as a person...you going to be decreasing your responsibilities in doing what it takes to win a ring...and their is nothing wrong with that...until you start trying to wrap it up in some i want to better myself shyt...then it's ...he could have kept that shyt...just admit you want the best chance at winning a ring and you feel GS gives you that best chance and keep it moving...

I am just going to hope all that other petty shyt i been reading not true...all that he mad his shoes and jersey don't sell...he mad steph is "over" him in the media...Kerr is a coach he talked to all the time last year...Draymond been recruiting him since last season...cause that is just some straight up bytch shyt and makes KD seem like a jealous weak minded easily swayed child...the shoe and jersey shyt doesn't make any sense cause Nike just signed him to a MASSIVE deal...they doing that for a guy who shoe's and jersey don't sell...

To me the craziest thing is that he signed a 1 and 1...a clear sign that he is not "all in" on the warriors...and that's ...cause if they don't win the chip this year this dude might bounce and then the warriors effectively lost HALF A RECORD SETTING TEAM FOR 1 YEAR OF KD

The pressure is going to be enormous to win the chip this year...KD had a hand in one of the biggest choke jobs in sports history, losing a series in which he was up 3 - 1...only to go play for a team who one upped him by setting the single season record for wins...and then going on to choke away a championship being up 3 - 1...I mean if this shyt go south who is going to do the heimlich on who?

Whiteside can kill this

Who said he didnt? Im talking about after he lost to Boston if he stayed in Cleveland he couldve definitely made it to the finals vs an older boston and dwight led Magic.

Would it have been harder than in miami? Yeah. But it was definitely possible.
Same with KD. Could he have made it to the finals again with OKC? For sure.
Will it be easier to do so in GS? Without a doubt.

Im not even hating on Bron atm but its hilarious that nikkas are really trying to act like this is much worse than LeBron going to the Heat and its not. Both moves assured multiple guaranteed trips to the finals

breh
its not even halarious - its more like asinine that you & others cant see/understand the differences


KD is going to a team in the past 2 season

1. won league leading 67 games and winning the NBA championship
2. broke the all time record of 73 wins and lost game 7 of the NBA finals on home court in the last couple of minutes

bron went to a team in its past to seasons

1. won 43 games and got bounce in the 1st round ((bosh team didnt make the playoffs))
2. won 47 games and got bounced in the 1st round ((bosh team didnt make the playoffs))

breh
STOP IT

its not even close - its not even in the same fukking galaxy

Breh you know how dumb it is to bring up the heats record before they got bosh and Bron to prove your point?

Think about it this way. If LeBron, KD, and Lamarcus Aldridge were FAs and decided to sign with the lakers would it not be super team bullshyt?

By your logic it's not because the lakers were a 19 win team . You're just ignoring the insane influx of talent they gained.

Obviously KD and LeBrons moves had differences but my point is overall they both led to ungodly talented teams. That's my whole point. It's just that KDs team was already partial formed through drafting and development together and LeBrons was built like voltron in FA.

They were both bullshyt. Stop for your boy LeBron. He even knew it was bullshyt or else he wouldn't have made the "not 1, not 2....." speech.

Even the same old heads who are crucifying KD now are the same ones who were killing LeBron.

Reggie Miller said after LeBrons decision "1 ring in Cleveland is worth 3 in Miami."

Chuck was saying "I would never have joined up with Michael"

But ok there's no similarities at all.
You Bron Stans are just trying to justify hypocrisy.
You can't call KD a bytch for his move without looking at what LeBron did and saying the same thing. Doesn't matter the team they came from. The teams they both formed stacked the deck completely in there favor.


Y'all better just let KD cook or admit that your "King" is a bytch too with fake rings if that's the route you want to take

 

[Neesee N Love]

With these recent developments, I think something is cooking. It seem like KD made the right decision going to GSW. Boston was the second best option for what he is trying to do,but if he went the Boston, he was not making it pass the ECF. Lebron has too much power to build whatever team he wants. Cavs are paying more than $50M in luxury tax. I don't think any team was going to give KD that kind of power and/or "blank checks" to build whatever team he wanted to compete with the Cavs or GSW; not even OKC or Boston.

GSW owner made it clear that he was going to be very aggressive (spend money to get the best). OKC owner still being cheap; hindering & trading players to avoid paying. Initially, I thought he should've done the 1+1, but now I'm happy he didn't do it. Looking at it now, Boston & GSW were his best options. I think the man got it right. OKC got him to extend last time, but didn't deliver. He was smart this time around. He is now positioned to win and get paid instead of wasting another year in OKC with cheap Clay or with some other team where the owner cares about profits only. Bra-freaking-vo KD!

The trade deadline and free agency 2017 are going to be interesting.

We really just signed the best scorer in the league and basically swapped him for Barnes and Bogut while keeping our core intact and we actually saved money in the process

@Blackthoughts

You think AJ English has a shot to make the team?

I think the 15th spot will stay open for a cheap Summer league or d league guy that impresses the front office. I've never seen him play tho.
