Hate to break it to you, but those are never considerations from a player or...

...team perspective. How do you think it works?

When was it that a player declined to sign with a team because it would make that team "too good?"

Also, what's your perspective on the World Series champ Red Sox trading Ruth to the Yanks for cash to finance a broadway musical?

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

Guarantee no one will care when all is said and done. He was a awesome.

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

6/12/17 11:36pm

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

kolob32

6/12/17 11:34pm

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

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

kolob32

6/12/17 11:58pm

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

Maybe in a way, although KD didn't have near the leverage, nor did he try to...

6/12/17 11:52pm

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

spugeddy24

6/12/17 11:56pm

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

Why complain? He didn't make the FA rules. He just abided by them.

Bingo. Not a tough concept.

spugeddy24

It's what he chose to do. You had and have the chance to do whatever

MoMoney88

6/14/17 12:18pm

Normal job vs NBA is different.

spugeddy24

6/14/17 12:50pm

LOL.... ok

MoMoney88

6/14/17 12:58pm

obviously NBA job is different but a job is a job

dizthewiz
