I'm just saying, it could be worse. LeBron's done it twice, give KD a break.

No LeBron has not done it twice. KD went to a team that's won the West 2 years in a row. LeBron returned to a Cavs team that had missed the playoffs the previous 4 years. How are those 2 situations even similar?

Those rose tinted glasses are on tight. Cleveland had Kyrie and the assets to acquire another star, everybody knew it even before LeBron ever agreed to return. He teamed up with Wade and Bosh in Miami and Kyrie and Love in Cleveland. Both trips landed him championships. Of course KD will either stay put or team up like LeBron did. LeBron has set the precedent.

Appreciate that.. And HELL YES that will fix that... Durant is a fricking beast, Barnes isn't even close to Durant's level.... You double team Durant now and you pay for it BIG time... With the shooters the Warriors have this could be the best teams in the history of the league... Durant at almost 7 feet tall can play inside also, help rebound and give an inside presence... He also has that wingspan, he can shoot over anybody...
It sounds funny, but we might see a ton of that. I could see them consistently playing with a line up of Curry, Thompson, Iggy, Green, KD. KD isn't a great rim protector in that line up, but he could do good enough. I'm not mad at KD going there though. I'm excited to see that team play.

Durant could have joined multiple teams with stars that had not just made the finals...lebron didn't join the spurs when he lost to them

There are many similarities for sure, but also not exactly the same like most things

Yes, I suggest you go make fun of Mike Tysons voice to his face.

Yes, exactly the same thing. LOL. One of us is taking this way too seriously. Spolier alert, it's you.

Alright but if Gilbert had said "We're going to keep Wiggins", you think LeBron would have signed? I highly doubt it.

Rose tinted glasses? I'm not even a Cavs fan. And stop blaming LeBron for KD jumping ship to the greatest regular season team in NBA history. KD landed in G.S. & they were already picked to win it all before he arrived.

More LOLs, I like your style. Actually the Warriors fan base was known for being incredibly loyal and loud even through all the years of suckitude. And don't forget the Baron Davis 'We Believe' era. Or not. Like all fans of the greatest teams, we don't care what you think.

Exactly. I guess a lot of people outside the Bay Area just don't know about how the Warriors have one of the loyalest fan bases in sports. Sure, every team that wins a title picks up bandwagon fans, but this Warriors fanbase has supported this team through thick and thin. Unlike baseball and football, the Warriors are the only basketball team in the Bay. They might be the Bay's most loved team, but with football as popular as it is, it's probably still the Niners.

You can't bring that argument because James knew he wasn't going to play with that roster.

Really, I could see 27 fans bases bitching about this.
Obviously Warriors fans are happy.
Heat and Cavs fans should have nothing negative to say.

Like I said, at least he didn't make a spectacle out of it. Miami would have been pretty damn good with just Bosh and Wade but LBJ still signed there. Whenever KD does something now I'm just going to say 'LBJ already did it'. LBJ was doing this years ago, it's old news now.

Of course not.
You think he was ever leaving the EC?

Cavs fans, what do they have to do w/ this? If you're calling me a Cavs fan ya better direct your comment to someone else though.

Pretty easy to do after seeing the backlash of what happened to lebron...it's not like durant is some visionary, same reason u won't see another letter, after the backlash dan got...even though i am sure it would happen
