Pretty sure Paul George was upset Pacers tried to trade him before and that is why he is leaving..



You shut the hell up. First of all I'm not a Thunder fan so I am not crying at all. I have a right to not like Kevin Durant. You have a right to not care if he left for the Warriors. It's not like I am saying the guy should be burned at the stake or that all of you have to agree with my opinion. IMO it was a b**ch move anyway you try to spin it.

I'm not saying he owes OKC anything. They paid him for those years and he played for them. It was a business transaction but to leave OKC for a 73-9 team, he took the easy way out. No one is going to be impressed by Durant winning rings w the Warriors.

I can only imagine the hate LeBron would get if he did exactly what Durant did but because Durant is not LeBron it is OK. Give me a break.

Crazy how any owner would just do that, but if it means championships and that is cost effective compared to the bottom line, I guess. Back up the Brinks truck.

by that time they will have made BILLIONS off these championship runs.

So that is more than worth it for them. The players they have are very marketable, they all sell, they all appeal to different NBA fan demographics. It's not just Lebron James and then a bunch of whatever.

Each player literally has their own fan base. Klay was just in China? He looks like a god over there.

Yep, I'm thinking next summer is the time when LeBron, CP3, and Carmelo finally get together on one team. Looks like they've set it up that way. Add PG to that mix in LA and you might have something pretty good (although they'll be pretty old by May/June 2019 when they'll need to beat the Warriors).
