You can't beat them so you quit on your team and join your rival, the king of bitch moves.
i hope Durant gets as much Heat as James did when he left Cleveland to join the heat

Wow. I wonder why the NBA is unwatchable outside the playoffs. They need to cut the league down to 8 teams and name a superstar captain for each team. Then let thone captains pick their squads and everyone can be a stacked squad. Get rid of all the dead wood franchises, who are nothing more than fodder anyways for the stacked squads.

Also, I don't blame KD one bit. Those saying it is worse than what LeBron did have short memories. Look up "the decision" and watch it again. Then watch the opening news conference when the hand picked team said they'd win 7 championships or whatever.

Props to Durant. If LeBron can build super teams in the east. Why not do the same in the west.

History repeats itself

Losers. Sports are soooo important that these schmucks feel vindicated in destroying their own personal property to prove some bs "point" that means nothing to no one, then fulfilling their vanity by posting it for the world to see and know? Wuh-ho-hoooaah, talk about a badass!!

I got quite a kick out of it myself. Never ceases to amaze me.

Dont begrudge him for wanting to try something new, but damn. At OKC it was him and Westbrook taking the shot, now it's Steph, Klay, Draymont, and him?

Oh well, we'll see how it works out I guess.

Yep and the still only play with one baseketball. Well see how it works.

Sam Presti's comments show tremendous class. This is exactly how a team rep should respond when you lose the courting battle.

It is also why I was a little shocked when LeBron resigned in Cleveland. Gilbert's letter was absolutely childish.

Jerry West sold Durant apparently

We shall see how it all plays out

There really should be a pro basketball hall of fame, and he should be the very first inducted with Jordan, Wilt, and etc. The guy is the greatest gm in all of sports.

Plus, after KD devoted nine years of his life to that franchise, it feels kinda wrong to burn his jersey.

With the cap reaching astronomical levels, how many players do you think would be willing to sacrifice their salary (2.9 exception is all the Warriors will have left) to join them to get an easy ring?

Just think I was getting to invest a grand into making Cavs repeat rip off shirts.

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

What are you talking about?

Curry, Green and Klay are more unselfish than any trio of stars I have seen in the last 20 years.

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.

Cavs fans need to stop. You had Kyrie Irvin and a trade on the table to bring in Kevin Love.
U act like LeBron came to Cleveland with a band of misfits and turned them into champion .

All these star players are joining forces. The CBA was supposed to limit this after what LeBron, Bosh, and Wade did. But the huge salary cap bump made it possible to do so again this year.

LeBron is probably trying to talk to his boy Wade as we speak, we need you Wade.

This is a short-term deal. Curry is due a HUGE raise next year, so the Warriors don't really get any bonus out of next year's cap expansion. Durant is only signing a 1-1 deal. This decision could mean that Westbrook was leaving next year regardless. Throw the chips up in the air again next summer...

Wade has the name brand value, but he is not the player Cleveland needs. They need a shooter to play off the ball and spread he floor for Irving and James. Wade is the exact opposite of that.
