Durant Signing With Warriors

[msgkings322]

Greg Oden.

Mark Eaton

Gheorge Muresan

Shawn Bradley

No wait, bring back Manute Bol!

Who is going to play center for GSW?

Just out of curiousity.

Are they going to play small ball for all 48 minutes now?

They just shoot 3 pointers now. You don't need a center for that.

@!#$%^!@#$%@# Yeah!!!!!!!!! Durant is my favorite NBA player since the (SONICS) Drafted him! Wise decision Durant, Kerr is a level headed smart coach, you have talent all around you... Now the Warriors need to focus on getting a decent center and some more size in the paint... Durant will give them a wicked mid range game now, he can post up, and can finish STRONG at the rim... I might even get a Warriors hat over this one! Sorry OKC, I have nothing against your fans or the player, but @$%^$@^%@ Clay Bennett...

I was rooting for you Sonics fans. Harrison Barnes had a lot of trouble finishing at the rim and hitting open 3's. This hopefully fixes that.

What's wrong w/ you, why no mention of Chris Dudley? That's just wrong!

WEAK. Fuckin pathetic Durant

 

[tlance]

Lebron
- Never played against Wade or Bosh in the playoffs
- Miami hadn't gotten out of the first round in 4 years
- Joining a 45-win team
- Had no sidekick in Cleveland and team was garbage
- Lebron was the reigning 2 time MVP

Durant
- Joining a team that he just choked against the year before
- Joining a team that has made back to back Finals
- Joining a 73-win team
- Had a superstar sidekick in Westbrook and a stacked team
- Joining the 2 time reigning MVP

No trolling needed...just facts

LOL. Sure.

you claimed Cleveland was clearly better before this signing, and also that KD does not help the dubs all that much. If both things are true, Cleveland has nothing to worry about.

But, you and the rest of the basketball universe knows that both of your former comments are complete BS.

Now we can see even more dumbass bandwagon Warrior fans that I'd like to shoot with my paintball gun. I hate sports.

Sure you do.

I'm a tad bit concerned about GS's construction though. Their minimum salary guys will be huge in determining their success now. Getting KD means GS has to shed a ton of guys and GS's strength was is roster flexibility. Them keeping Iggy over a big raises my eyebrow a tiny bit because Iggy and KD's skills overlap. I get it and that death line up will be great against most teams but I don't think the gains in that specific area are as great as you think at first glance. It's an improvement but its not a wide gap. Its like going from a 96 to a 99 instead of 90 to 100. They'll definitely need a flexible cheap big and a rotational wing. It won't show up likely until the conference finals but they'll need that at some point.

In a different conversation, pump the brakes on the KD sidekick talk. It is entirely within reason that KD could show up and outplay everyone else on the roster. Would anyone totally be shocked if KD balls out in the playoffs next year and win Finals MVP? I guarantee everyone talking "sidekick" now will be talking about how KD is really the alpha and how Curry is just some system guy bullshit or something.

Yeah look at tlance lmao

 

[The Derski]

I wish I could line up every single bandwagon warrior fan and just have target practice with my paint ball gun.

Pervis Ellison agrees.

They still have rotation wings (Livingston, Iggy) but yes they need a rim protector. But as I said, the Warriors FO knows what they are doing.

Might as well just skip the regular season and go straight to the Conference / NBA Finals the league is that top heavy now.

It's called speculation, i didn't think the cavs would be under 500 after adding lebron and love but they were...

I hope Westbrook vandalizes Durants house

I hope Westbrook vandalizes Durants house

OKC vs GS game will be great

 

[cmc_rebar]

Wonder if Vegas is giving odds yet on GS choking in the finals again?

 

[The Derski]

This is such a weak resume move that Durant is going to look back on and ask " why was a such a little bitch?"
