Sure it does. He joined a team that won 73 games last year. They were heavily

favored to win it all even before the season started. Just because he's the best player on the team that won doesn't mean he didn't take the easy route to the championship. It just means the 2nd best player in the league joined the already-best team in the league, thereby making them waaaaay better than any other team in the league.

KD's move to GS might be the most gutless move in sports history.

I bet Malone regrets not joining the bulls to get his ring he waited too

If by everyone you mean Warriors fans, you are right.

How do you fault a guy for wanting to play for the best team? It's one thing if

I fault him for making the biggest wuss move ever.

The greats win championships.

So do the non greats.

I don't really fault him, but I also don't think that what he did was

If he joined and then blended, that'd be one thing. But he joined and became the

Except we already knew that about him

That's my thought, "the easy way" argument doesnt work when he wins the mvp

6/12/17 11:29pm

I didn't say it wasn't a smart or strategic move.

spugeddy24

6/12/17 11:30pm

So what do you think he SHOULD have done?

6/12/17 11:37pm

He was one win away with OKC the year before.

spugeddy24

6/12/17 11:41pm

I don't fault him for wanting to get away from Westbrook at all.

benny1982

6/12/17 11:42pm

I get that too. But previous comments he made about "super" teams made this move

spugeddy24

6/12/17 11:44pm

"I don't want to join them, they are really good and they win too much"

kolob32

6/12/17 11:44pm

He bashed LBJ for going to a super team then did it himself.

spugeddy24

6/12/17 11:44pm

Looking back...his comment was disingenuous...but he can't rule his life by one

kolob32

6/12/17 11:47pm

I agree that you can't rule your life from one tweet.

spugeddy24

6/12/17 11:49pm

I get what you're saying but when you question the competitive nature of a guy

They would beat that team without Durant

No they don't..... They couldn't get it done last year

Curry was hurt, Bogut was hurt, Green got suspended and then wilted.

wapiti

6/13/17 6:22pm

I don't think it's as difficult when you join a 73 win team that was already

GS built the majority of their team in an impressive manner.

spugeddy24

By far one of the least competitive and weak moves in sports history

MoMoney88

Normal job vs NBA is different.

spugeddy24

MoMoney88

obviously NBA job is different but a job is a job
