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

[Jplaya2023]

Sheed and Ben were older (31) but Billups, Prince and Hamilton were 29, 25, 27. (Curry is 29)

They also had a group of younger players outside of them.

imagine bron going to the pistons in 07? Wow they win 4 straight probably then he leaves for miami

 

[Eastside Get The Money]

Paul Pierce lost 18 games in a row and then magically got KG and Ray. Be humble

 

[philmonroe]

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?

Haters gonna hate. No matter what it is when folks start hating they come up with all types of logic that don't pass the common sense test. End of the day both jumped ship to be on better teams period. Nobody can dispute that so what are we really talking about outside of some hating just to hate? If KD does like Lebron and goes to 4 finals and wins 2 or even does better nobody going to say shyt just like they don't say shyt about Lebron

 

[Listen]

Its the perfect analogy. Pierce had his front office make trades to bring in other players to make them good. Then they all won't talk to Ray Allen no more cuz he turned his phone off and left them for the Heat when Boston couldn't beat them and those dudes are holding on to it to this day lol. How did you think he'd feel about the second best player in the league blowing a 3-1 lead, then leaving his team on purpose to go join the team he just blew a 3-1 lead to???

Because Durant 1 up'ed Lebron and they dont like it

 

[New Username]

So what did you think about Kobe asking to be traded in 2007?

Asking and doing is two different things

 

[FTBS]

Again, I never compared situations. I simply said Pierce should have an appreciation for how much winning a title (on a stacked team at that) elevated his carrier. Im surprised he would criticize KD for putting himself in the best situation to win.

How is calling someone a hypocrite, not comparing the situations? KD has already surpassed Pierce and he was in position to win and HE, not anyone else (save Russ), blew it, and then he ran to the team he blew it against. There is nothing hypocritical or surprising about a person that never did anything close to that having something to say about it.

Not being good enough to beat championship teams is what stopped them from winning rings

KD was not good enough to play better in the 4th quarter in game 6?

lebron wanted to beat the Celtics his rivals at the time and also wades rivals .Durant wanted no competition at all and instead joined his rivals. now if lets say kawhi team up with harden and someone else etc it'll be to beat the warriors which is what lebron did. lebron tried to get bosh and amare in Cleveland as well.

Since when were GS/OKC some fierce rivalry??? They played eachother one time in the playoffs
LeBron could have had Amare in Cleveland but they went with Antwan Jamison instead, you really think Bron wasn't consulted on that move?

Silly nikka he couldn't trade himself. If he could he would at that time.

 

[Taadow]

But they did it, doe. lol

He wanted to go to another team...matter fact, he gave 'em a list of teams he wanted to go to,
with a #1 choice. What did you think about that?

OKC is the Sonics, and everybody knows that.

Don't say Warriors/Sonics wasn't a rivalry. Don't say that.

 

[MrWestGrand]

Old story line. KD made a sound business and basketball decision. People are purposely taking away from the Warriors and what the organization is accomplishing.

 

[Smashius Clay]

while Durant has played on some of the most stacked teams throughout his entire NBA career that were more than capable of winning chips.

This is what they don't get.

 

[No1]

They were too old

If Melo was on that squad Bron goes to Detroit.

 

[Gangstar8]

Durant will win 2-3 rings then go back to OKC try and win like LeBron but fail
