Always.

Oh I wouldn't go that far. And don't pat yourself on the back too much, ya might sprain something.

 

[Black Adam]

Has nothing left to prove, and I doubt he has anything left in the tank.

I dunno, Heatles. I kinda went with Mecca's "aw, HELL no" thought...

 

[Robotech]

G.S. could play KD @ C. He's tall enough.

True, but he's slender, and we don't want him getting beat up.

 

[Wamu]

He did say he had softball at 1.
Diaper change at 3.

He'll be here.

I thought he was ordering his JR Smith Halloween costume?

Column circa 2011:

WESTBROOK - DURANT - HARDEN

That is a super team that is destined to win multiple titles!!
3 young guys (each of whom can easily be MVP candidates) on the same team.

Then you add a solid defensive superstar in Serge Ibaka and cagey do everything Jeff Green.
They should win every title from 2011-2017.

I cannot wait to see this dynasty unfold in Oklahoma City.

Bwhahahahahahahahaha. Probably should've paid Harden.

Thunder Chairman Clayton I. Bennett said this:

“Kevin’s contributions to our organization during his nine years were profound, on and off the court. He helped the Thunder grow and succeed in immeasurable ways and impacted the community just the same. We thank him for his leadership, his play, and how he represented Oklahoma City and the entire state of Oklahoma.”

And Thunder Executive Vice President and General Manager Sam Presti said this:

“Kevin made an indelible mark on the Thunder organization and the state of Oklahoma as a founding father of this franchise. We can’t adequately articulate what he meant to the foundation of this franchise and our success. While clearly disappointing that he has chosen to move on, the core values that he helped establish only lead to us thanking him for the many tangible and intangible ways that he helped our program.”

Watching Arison and Bennett send off Lebron and Durant, respectively seems a bit different than Gilbert.

Like we've all said, everyone knows Gilbert's a kunt, except for Wiggy.

 

[Heatles84]

Did you mean to say heat fans?

No, he meant Cavs fans.

Hassan Whiteside snapchat trip to the zoo #whitesideatthezoo ...

Worth the 3 minutes

#durantbreak

 

[Heatles84]

No, I didn't see any of that at all.

I just think the situation is much more comparable to LeBron going to the heat then it is to LeBron going to the Cavs.

All though, like we've both said... it is different from that situation too.

The minute Lebron lost in Miami, he packed up and went back home and left a team that he went to 4 consecutive Finals with.

Biggest winner in NBA Free Agency: Seattle Supersonic fans.

Out of my apartment window I've already heard some cheers from across the street on KD leaving the Thunder. Needless to say, Seattle's a happy city right now.

Ok, well since Wiggy is, how shall we say, indisposed at the moment, i wonder what Queen James' thoughts are on the matter...?

 

[Heatles84]

Teams know the warriors have to deal bogut. Not good for negotiation.

Unless there are two teams that really want bogut... warriors will not get good value.

Of course they won't care much landing Durant.

They're not expecting good value or salary matches - that's the point. If they can get Zaza and a couple 2nd round picks, they'll be fine with that.

 

[Robotech]

Team USA better win the Olympics. Otherwise, the Warriors players (Durant, Green and Thompson) would get the most blame.

Strange that he's not commented.
He ALWAYS has something to say.



In all seriousness, I know the Cavs are champs, but not sure WHAT they can do to try to add or counter this.

We told @WiggyRuss , teams will be able to add, and Cavs wouldn't.
He said they were set as is, long term.

More like LeBron's bitch these days...

Oddly enough you always have something to say about LeBron.

Yep.
Sometimes good, sometimes bad, but always fair.
