If you are comparing it to jumping on a team that won 73 games without him then any other supporting cast is dog shit. Still a playoff team without him and he was CLEARLY the best player on the Warriors. Losing a generational player tends to affect a basketball team. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

The Suns were better off not going after a star yet. Especially one who has that injury history. They need to play the lottery at least one more year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

3 solid veteran adds and hopefully they can teach KAT and Wiggins to be professionals and play defense. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

The team they had was more than good enough to win a title with KD there, I'm not sure why anybody would refute that. |

Yeah, I'm not sure why anybody gives a damn about conference parity. It's not like it will affect the final outcome of the playoffs for the foreseeable future. The Warriors with Durant are so vastly superior to the competition that they will run through any Western Conference opponent they play with ease. There's certainly nobody out there in the 2017-2018 season that stands a chance.
The only real challenge they may face in the next couple of years will be when LeBron, CP3, and Paul George join the Lakers for 2018-2019 (which seems to be the most likely outcome at this point), but there's a very real possibility the former two will have declined significantly by then and it won't matter at all. |

Honestly a bargain for the value he provides (the Raptors would be a sub 40 win team without him and now they could easily be back in the ECF next year) and less term than I expected. Will allow them to begin a rebuild sooner once it all crashes and burns in a few years.

I can vouch for that as a Pacers fan. The list of moves they made that were shitty is a mile long and IMO, is the biggest reason PG left. From the way they traded Granger, the way they screwed Hibbert and dumped Vogel, then traded away his best friend in the world, George Hill, all these things impacted PG in a negative way and told him the organization lacked loyalty in any way. I don't blame him one bit for wanting out. I just wish he hadn't made it public. |

Pretty sure Paul George was upset Pacers tried to trade him before and that is why he is leaving.. Quote:
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. Last edited by PAChiefsGuy; 07-03-2017 at 10:09 AM.. |
