Durant Signing With Warriors

[Pattersonca65]

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.

I agree with this. But no guarantees. And losing Bogut hurts interior defense. This isn't without a cost

 

[cwerph]

If you can't beat'em, join'em.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

History repeats itself

 

[gordontrue]

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

Yep.

LeBron left 0 all stars to join a team that missed the playoffs

Durant leaving top 5 player to join a 73 win team and mvp who beat him a few weeks ago.

Wow. they do know you still play the game of basketball with 1 ball? I dont see this working out.i see them winning 1 or 2 titles max together. but durant needed to get out of okc for a chance at a title

Losing Bogut hurts, but I'm sure they'll find another shot blocker who will gladly take a little bit less to ride the waves off a superteam. Plus their "lineup of doom" didn't even involve Bogut, and it just got 10x better.

Seattle gets the last laugh.

 

[LAD]

They should. KD just jumped ship to the 2x defending WC champs. And when LeBron jumped ship he didn't team up w/ the 2x League MVP.

And it begins.... lol

 

[Sportsguy9695]

I hope Durant gets all the heat that James heard when he jumped ship

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

lets pick that Supersonics carcass clean.

HEY, THE HAWKS SAW HIM FIRST!

 

[LAD]

That already happened. He signed with them yesterday.

Not exactly...they can't officially sign until Friday.

 

[Iggloo]

So Durant goes mercenary like Lebron did with Miami. I suspect it pays off for him and he gets hardware.

 

[Logicallylethal]

Clay Bennett never deserved either Durant or Westbrook to begin with

This new super team could end up being this generation's 95-96 Bulls or 60s Celtics in terms of dominance and Showtime Lakers in terms of style and flair

We now have the biggest Goliath in any sport but is there a david out there that can slay him?

Bron and Kyrie did it last year but this Goliath just fused with Godzilla.

 

[Pattersonca65]

This is still surreal for me. Been a GSW fan since 77-78. The Cohan years were so bad no player would come here unless the Ws drastically overpaid.

 

[Demonjoe93]

Eh, it's his choice. Personally, I'm wondering how this will impact their depth on the bench. Having bad depth can hurt a team a real lot, and I think a team like the Spurs could exploit that weakness to the maximum.

Well it's a good thing none of the Warriors are ball hogs, huh?

 

[Bmurph]

Jerry West sold Durant apparently

We shall see how it all plays out

 

[Battlelyon]

You can't beat them so you quit on your team and join your rival, the king of bitch moves.

 

[Sportsguy9695]

what are you talking about. all the superstars out there want the ball all the time out there. do u remember what happened in miami? not enough balls out there

 

[Iggloo]

The Splash Triplets?
