I'm sure everyone will be cool with it since they had no problems with durant joining gs
but if lebron is indeed the greatest he don't need wade right?

For the first time, I'm thinking a "max contract" may not make sense. If KD really could get his market value, he'd be getting paid at least $40M -- and no way GS could afford him. He'd be back with the Thunder.
Now it is possible that a team could have 4 guys getting paid max $$$. (at least Max at the time they signed the contract)
There is a chance that GS may be able to pay their top 4 Max $$$.
At some point some teams are going to look at dumping a few of these contracts. Savvy teams who are willing to pay could get some nice players.
LBJ got played by Wade & Riley. They convinced him to play there so they could win but he do all the work. He knows it. That was the meaning behind all those passive aggressive tweets after he won this season.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
Considering the source this post comes from-the oozing irony is too much for words. You know hate consumes you, right?It kinda is. One of the 3 best players was too much of a pussy to stay on his team so he joined a 73 win team that already has an MVP winner. A finals favorite team before he was even on the roster... This makes Durant look so weak. Not to mention he made a tweet criticizing the exact choice he just made. He's pathetic.
So what? Why wouldn't he want to play with guys that gives him the best chance to win? Isn't that why LBJ rode the boat to Miami????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.
lol@u just assuming he wins the championship
It's going to be so much more funny when he doesn't...kinda like when you assumed nobody was beating the spurs or gs last year
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?Goodness...for someone who isn't a fan this sure had your panties in a bunch.
Weren't you one of the people that said that 73 wins means nothing because they didn't win the title?Hey we just see things differently. I see KD joining the greatest regular season team in history (which simply can't be denied) & you keep bringing up LeBron in your defense of KD (which I find odd). Let's just agree to disagree.
I wouldn't have a problem with it.I'm sure everyone will be cool with it since they had no problems with durant joining gs
Ummm no. If money was his motivation then he would've stay in OKC since they were the only ones who could pay the max with the LONGEST contract.Durant can do anything he'd like but to say that money and being on a winning team didn't enter into his decision is baloney.
Uh, fuck you?Good for Durant.
Now, Thunder should move back to Seattle. Oklahoma is Shitville
I agree...and Cavs fans too. Perhaps with this deal they saw their window of winning just slam shut?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?
If the Cavs get Wade, that's going to be a pretty good team, but I would still say the Warriors got better with Durant then the Cavs would with Wade who is older and beginning to decline.I agree...and Cavs fans too. Perhaps with this deal they saw their window of winning just slam shut?
That fort was closed when I was there last summer.Whatever. That's a common redneck misperception. And I'll take THIS to the Timmy McVeigh bombed out dust bowl you call HOME and so will KD!!!

How can the Cavs afford Wade?If the Cavs get Wade, that's going to be a pretty good team, but I would still say the Warriors got better with Durant then the Cavs would with Wade who is older and beginning to decline.
Looks like they could offer Wade about 16 million which is 6 more than what Miami offered. If that's not enough, then they would have to dump some one like FryeHow can the Cavs afford Wade?
