Durant Signing With Warriors

[GeekSportsFan]

Is Curry going to be OK taking fewer points?

 

[Texas Jefe]

man oh man. KD just became a mercenary.

Durant's a great player but this move weakens the league big time. Should have stuck it out with the Thunder given how close they got to the finals this year.

I didn't care if Barnes left. Wouldn't want Ws to sign him to max. I like Harrison Barnes as a person but he is way too inconsistent. He literally disappears for long stretches.

It would've been very awkward to bring back Barnes and have him making about twice as much as Curry after Barnes shot 5 for 32 in the last 3 games and arguably cost them a championship.

Spurs have to act to keep up

Westbrook will look good as a replacement for Tony Parker in 2017.

lets pick that Supersonics carcass clean.

I feel like he goes to the Lakers, but who knows.

I agree. It has been three years now and it seems Barnes is just not taking that step forward. If Dallas expects him to be anything more than a role player, I think they will be disappointed

Well, no point in the regular season or playoffs now. Just fast forward to Cavs/GSW part 3(and more if he stays past 1 year).

This probably means Bogut and Ezelli are probably history, need to cut salary.

I don't think so. They still have to play the games. You never know how things will play out.

Bogut and Barnes for starters.

I missed out on the joy many experienced in 2011 when the Mavs took out the new super team.

I hope to experience that joy when the warriors are eliminated next season.

Durant can do what he wants. I won't criticize him for making a choice that it's his to make. But along with that choice is going to come so much pressure and so much hate.

One thing is for sure... next season will be intriguing.

Winning 73 games and replacing Barnes with KD. They might have a slow start to build the chemistry and the team won't be exactly the same outside of that switch, but if they don't steamroll to the finals it's an even bigger failure than losing the 3-1 lead this year.

Sad thing is even know this is worse than James leaving 2010, he won't received nearly as much hate as that Heat team did

 

[Rey]

I rarely agree with Stephen A, but he's 100% on this one imo.

 

[RobToxin]

Wasn't he one of the players critical of Lebron when he ran away to build a super team?

Yep...Curry is got to get some injuries fixed and shit happens

Golden State has won the 2017 ring and good for them. This may be a 5 year run that could compare with the 1960 era
Celtics. The West is now Golden. I really thought he was going to Stay at OKC
