ring chaser!
exactly....
LeBron owns Durant too.....there is only 1 ball- and the Warriors still have no rim protection and no one that can touch the real King of the NBA. When the going gets tough in the Finals- Kyrie got better- Steph got worse. I totally understand why people wil be favoring the Warriors. The Cavs will eventually make some kind of smaller counter move- everyone will count them out- and hopefully we get round 3.
That's according to Hoopshype which shows the salaries, but it could be off since the salaries do not reflect signed contracts yet. They might not have that much if they have already committed to some one16? You sure about that?
Yeah but the cap is going to max out at 110 mill or so in the next few years ( or around that). All 3 of those other guys are Durant type money and KD will get a bump next year too when he opts out. Like realistically those 4 guys alone will hit the cap unless they're just hoping they win a few and everyone agrees to take less?
WTF are you talking about? The Cavs won, but don't pretend that Curry was near 100% and losing Bogut was big. Throw in a game suspension for Green and things really didn't go very well for GS and it took a game 7 loss at home in the finals to end it for them. Listening to some of you people talk you'd think they were swept.
This is kind of pathetic though
This has been by far the most challenging few weeks in my professional life. I understood cognitively that I was facing a crossroads in my evolution as a player and as a man, and that it came with exceptionally difficult choices. What I didn’t truly understand, however, was the range of emotions I would feel during this process.
My Next Chapter | By Kevin Durant
Yeah, tough choice Kevin. Which of just about any NBA city of your choice do you feel like playing for at max money? Wish I had your tough choices. I'd wish they'd just sign and move on instead of trying to justify the crap. We get it, you play basketball for money and you're going to do what you feel like doing. Just don't pretend it's some gut wrenching decision when you know whatever move you make you're going to be 40+ mill richer.
LeBron handpicked his teammates and they were the favorites in Miami to win a championship.I have no problem with either leaving...the problem lies here
Lebron it was the way he left...the decision
Durant in the team he chose...looks like a pussy after being up 3-1
Lebron didn't join the favorites to win the championship...Period...GS was the favorites before durant even stepped foot in Oakland
+1I liked Durant as a player and I understand the need for a ring but I can' t root for GS to win anything.
It seems like to me almost all of those that are not Lakers or Warriors fans have their panties twisted in a knot - It is just me?
How in the fuck are the Warriors gonna pay Curry, Thompson and Green when it's time for them to get paid?? They may have to play 4 on 5 at that point because they won't have any money left to pay the other 8 guys
Rather easily. Just max them all out and pay the huge luxury tax.
I guess but isn't it like a dollar for every dollar over? The players are already getting 50% of,revenues. You do something like that and pretty soon you are going to be really screwing yourself over if you're the ownerRather easily. Just max them all out and pay the huge luxury tax.

Kind of but not really. You can resign your own guys for longer at a bigger bump but not for any amount you want to. There are max contracts no matter where you go. I just don't see a team maxing 4 guys, paying 8 other guys and also paying 100% luxury tax. That's insanity if you're the owner. It works now because you don't have to pay Curry, Thompson and Green anywhere close to what they're worth. It won't stay that way. They'll probably lockout next year and make it impossible to keep all 4 of them anywayIt is a soft cap man. They can continue to resign their own players for as much and as long as they want, unless the owners band together and change the rules.
Dan Gilbert was leading the charge to do just that in 2011, I wonder what happens now.
