This is the winner for title team with least HOF talent. Which is one factor in why Larry Brown is the best basketball coach (both college and pro) in NBA history.

Mavs only had Dirk, Rockets only had Hakeem, those are the next closest.
Chauncey and Ben will both be HOFers.

Might take a lot of years first, but they'll both get in.

For the Dubs, 3 of the 4 are home grown. And they had a trophy before the 4th joined.

The Kobe/Shaq Lakers had both stars acquired outside the draft (Kobe was a draft day trade).

Showtime had Kareem added through a trade.

The 80s Celtics added Parrish through trade.

This Warriors team is no more “dirty” than any of those teams.

It cracks me up when people criticize the Warriors for stacking their team and creating a "dynasty".

The NBA has always had stacked teams and has had several dynasties throughout it's existence.

Basketball lends itself to this because 1 or 2 players can have such a large impact on a team.

The 50's had the Minneapolis Lakers.The 60's had the Celtics, the 80's had the Showtime Lakers and Birds Celtics, the 90's had MJ's Bulls, the 2000's had the Kobe/Shaq/Kobe/Pau Lakers, the Spurs won 5 titles in about 15 years, now we have the Warriors. You could probably make an argument for the Heat as a "mini-dynasty".

Not sure why some people want to act like this is somehow new.

IF this really becomes a toxic situation for the team and could jeopardize a title this year, do the Warriors trade Durant by the trade deadline? Why not? If you get sense that he is out this offseason to sign elsewhere, might as well trade him and get something for him.

You still know nothing about the NBA. Wow

Durant apparently has veto power so the Warriors can't trade him without his consent. That means he'd only likely want to be traded to a contender. With the way the Warriors are built, if the situation became extremely toxic, I would imagine their BEST course of action would to just deactivate Durant for the rest of the year and play it out. That way he's not opposing you this year on a real contender and you're still in shape to play for the title. Your odds definitely decrease, but Steph, Klay, Draymond and Boogie isn't anything to sneeze at either.
Ludicrous. If anything, they should shit can that clown Green.

Are you people crazy? 2x defending champion is going to trade away one of the best players in the league? This is the last hoorah and they're going to ride it out. If it implodes it implodes.

Quit being an idiot already. If you don't think Durant took the bitch, Dirty way out Joining Golden State, or bailing and going to another already stacked team, you'll continue to be an idiot.

Quit defending pussy BITCH moves

Bitch, yes. Dirty? No.

If someone goes it’s Draymond but I doubt they trade him, seems pointless, it’s not like teams are waiting in line for Dray

Cousins and Green couldn't be more different.

They are both big.

They both pass the ball very well.

They both have bad tempers.

Otherwise yeah. Completely different players. But I do think a player like Cody Zeller, for example, Has less in common to Green than Cousins. Pretty ridiculous to suggest Cousins and Green are similar in playing style. But then again, you quoted a guy who thinks Kyrie Irving is better than Curry.
