Piru P says KD joining Golden State is like a kid becoming friends with bullies to not get Beat Up

[Joe Sixpack]

so why would he do what you want if going to boston means he wouldnt beat bron ? lmfaoooo yall nikkas stupid

Dumb ass. I'm saying in his heart of hearts he knows LeBron is better then him and only in the most lopsided of circumstances ( In his mind at least the Warriors) gives him any hope of beating him. Even with a team like Boston which is clearly missing a superstar like him, has cap space, a good coach and a slew of draft picks that he was still like nah chill

niccas is crybabies.

Bet you'd feel some type of way if Julio Jones joined the Patriots.

:yousure:

Excellent analogy. To take it a step further it's like having a crew and that crew was tough enough to take out the bullies but you bytched out against those bullies. with this "he just wanted to win" talk. What was stopping him from winning in OKC? Having to win 4 games? Having to play 4 quarters?

Pierce's career got elevated SO much after the Celtics stacked their team and won a title

Hypocritical, he should understand the importance that winning has on a career better than anyone

What teammate, pre Big 3, did Pierce have that was as good as Russ? How many times did Pierce blow a 3-1 lead, because he and his Russ caliber teammate went out like bytches, and then he jumped to the squad he lost to. Wanting to play with talent is one thing. Wanting to win is one thing. Choking and then running to the squad you choked against, that won a chip and 73 games without you is another and people need to stop being so intellectually dishonest about this.

No.
Not four games.
Not four quarters.

Two minutes.
Twice.

Paul Pierce would be Joe Johnson if KG and Allen were never traded to Boston.

fukk his opinion.

 

[Loose]

What is it about you not answering questions?

thunder 2016 team was on par with Cleveland's 2016 team. igoduala said they were the best team they faced all season .kd just wanted easy rings, nothing to argue about

Wait - what was that?

KG and Allen was "traded" to Boston you say?
Paul Pierce didn't leave Boston to go play with them two?

Okay.

 

[Houston911]

it's different because

as pierce said this nove was anti competition had nothing to do with winning rings. he could have won rings on 28 other teams

lebron is better than wade led the teams to titles and was a substantial part of their success

goldenstate went 18-3 without Durant on the floor and still would still be favorites if he tore his acl tomorrow. if anything we should be comparing Durant to Chris bosh /wade it's disrespectful to lebron who led the heat.

furthermore lebron didn't joins team he thought he couldn't beat

fisdale just broke it down recently why this is different

"We were really talented,” says former Miami assistant David Fizdale, now the Grizzlies’ coach. “But not like this, not all the way through the roster.” When the Heat snagged the 2012 title, Mario Chalmers was their fourth-leading scorer, Norris Cole their fifth. For Golden State, it’s Green and Andre Iguodala, who have three All-Star appearances and a Finals MVP award between them.”

theirs only one super team in the league and that's the warriors

LeBron got on the best team he could. If the Celtics we're younger and had cap room he prolly would have signed there

 

[Jplaya2023]

Why would it have been ok to go to the Spurs? A team that was only 2 years removed from winning a title, had the player who finished 2nd in MVP voting, another player who was perennial All-NBA while also having the best coach in the game?

Durant owns the spurs in the playoffs at that point and he actually would get the lionshare of the credit going there and taking down the warriors.

 

[Houston911]

True, but his legacy needs to be graded on a curve then. A couple rings as a sidekick to the Splash Bros = the same asterisk a guy like David Robinson got for winning 2 rings as Duncan's sidekick.

Do you give bosh, LeBron and wade asterisks on their title for taking paycuts to manipulate the salary cap for easy championships?

 

[Jplaya2023]

LeBron got on the best team he could. If the Celtics we're younger and had cap room he prolly would have signed there

And then we would be killing him for joining the team that beat him like we're for durant.

 

[Loose]

it's crazy to think Durant made lebron move look good

 

[Houston911]

And then we would be killing him for joining the team that beat him like we're for durant.

Y'all are caught up in semantics

LeBron and Durant both wanted the clearest, easiest path to a championship

Nobody disputes that

So why y'all tripping on Durant?

 

[Jplaya2023]

it's crazy to think Durant made lebron move look good

Lebron would've stayed in cleveland had they just traded for amare in 2009 or 2010. He needed pieces.

What you also didn't see is Glove or Rock ring chasing in the middle of their career.

Ya the post I was replying too was asking if people would be fine if kd did this at end of career and my response was ya because we don't hold that against the glove and Mitch
