Maybe Warriors find room for Wade??

Wade is loyal. That is the difference lol

 

[ChrisWebber]

I hope Russell Westbrook goes beast mode next year and knocks out KD and the Warriors.

I was thinking Dirk...

 

[Hambombs]

Lol at the cavs fans hate in here

 

[DJ]

I say Bogut ends up in Dallas.

KD's reason is to grow as a player and a man. Curry and Thompson are not like other prominent NBA players. Those 3 used to do bible study together when they were traveling during international tournaments. All 3 are of supreme character. Since most other NBA stars lead different lifestyles, it is easy to see the appeal here. This is about more than just winning titles.

Say what you will now, but in 20 years, this move will barely be discussed. Durant will be known as a champion. Had he stayed in OKC long term, he likely would have gone down as the next Karl Malone.

See i think hell get his rings and nobody will give a shit outside of the Bay area.

Wrong but it doesnt matter he won a ship for Cleveland and made the best comeback ever. KD made the most cowardly move ever, not compared to Lebron at all.

People said the same thing about James in '10.

As a Heat, it's terrible news, but I'm not changing my chance.
FA can go wherever they want, for any reason they want.
I've said forever, end max contracts and you'll end these moves.

You can think whatever you want but if the Warriors werent one of the best teams and title contenders he would have stayed in OKC. No doubt about it. Btw if he doesnt win a championship it will be an absolute total failure and his legacy will be ultimately destroyed IMO. Especially since he is in his prime.

James had no team around him and Cleveland didnt make any moves. KD has a legit contending team around him. Bitch move and people say he is giving up money. He is still making $27 mil a year

I'd be beyond fine if Wade left.
With this move we have no shot, as is, for the rest of his career.

 

[DJ]

Jerry West is GOD. He had a huge role in this move.

 

[avalon2423]

Heat put all there eggs in the KD basket and failed miserably. No matter who we sign now, we have no chance for the rest of wades career.

It was a bitch move for James to leave Miami after 4 straight Finals, yet he was a FA, so it was his earned right.

Get over it, you know you're most likely done now, but at least he got you one.

This move certainly will have James rethinking his next one.

 

[Demonjoe93]

I don't understand the hate he's receiving right now, to be honest.

Of course. What I am saying is that Curry and Klay's faith and personalities played a huge role in this. If Curry were another precocious star, Durant would not be heading there.

 

[Hambombs]

Jerry west deff played a huge role. Dont mess with the logo!!

 

[bksballer89]

I do. I wouldn't have a problem with it if GSW did not eliminate him and if he was not at fault for GSW defeating them

Seriously?

You have to meet with.Durant.

Nothing Riley, could or should have done different.

James will most likely be trying to make his way to Oakland.
