I think it's more the thought that KD went to the team that he couldn't beat. If he had gone to another super team maybe the perception of him is different

I don’t have a problem with him teaming up with 1 other star, but 3 top 5 players on one team is just absurd. It’s terrible for parity.

I think it's hypocritical that we put all this emphasis on winning a championship but then get mad at players winning one on their terms. It's like, why should Durant have stayed or went to an inferior team just because fans didn't want him to go to the warriors? |

It's a lack of competitiveness/rivalries that drives fans nuts. Fans want to see the best players play against each other not with each other. Players in the NBA nowadays just simply don't have that sense of competitiveness. Guys play against each other, lose in a hard fought series, then next year they want to play with the supposed rival team because it will be easier to win a championship that way or live the celebrity lifestyle like LeBron to LA. It's pathetic. You'd never see Bird play with Magic or MJ play with Patrick Ewing even though they were friends. They wanted to beat each other. That type of competitiveness is gone. LeBron started it with going to the Heat and it has continued. |

Woj reporting Kemba signing with Boston is pretty much a done deal

Actually makes me feel a little bad for Magic getting dinged for tampering when they're leaking terms of contracts two days before FA even starts.

Tampering rules have always been a joke in the NBA, but Magic just makes it a bit too obvious with these ridiculous media interviews he gives.

Bingo. Kawhi would not be doing anything of the sort with the Lakers move, is not ring chasing, and would in fact be going home to a place he's always wanted to play in.

I think there would have been a lot more player movement than people care to admit if players had the options like they do now. And what fans want should never occur in the mind of a player so to me that's irrelevant. If I'm a free agent and I see a team that has a perfect front office, a great coach, a great system I can be great in and great unselfish teammates....I should give that up because fans will be mad? **** them. It may be uncompetitive, but the NBA has been uncompetitive since the start. 2 franchises have the same number of championships as all the other teams combined. The league has never been "competitive" and it has never not been ran by a superteam. |

Good thing LeBron and AD sucked enough to miss the playoffs and didn't have to play against each other I guess. |
