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

My thoughts as well. He got that Pat Riley type of influence

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

Seriously?

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

People also said that LeBron's future rings would be tainted back in 2010 when he signed in Miami. Now, people might reference it, but even his most biased haters credit LeBron for his rings in Miami.

The same will be true for Durant when he is remembered in history. We are just far to close to the moment to think about anything else right now.

Yeah his rings won't be tainted

Is it from the fans of the Teams that thought they had a chance to dethrone the Warriors?

I had no such delusions.

So, I'm happy for him.

Melo should have been smart enough to do the same.

Russell and Ingram plus a future 1st rounder for Westbrook and the Lakers make the playoffs.

Wow. Well I wonder who's gonna be the overwhelming favorites to win it all next year? I'm thinking it'll be the Warriors for some odd reason.

shiiit...last year on this forum no one gave the Cavs a chance...In the NBA- the team with the best player USUALLY wins- and that player resides on the Cleveland Cavaliers. Not only that but Irving outplayed Curry as well.

Golden State will be the favorites and I expect most people on here wont give the Cavs a chance again. There is still just one ball. Not only that- but in this cap environment- as i said to the Cavs detriment a few days ago- no one is going to take minimum contracts to go to a winner when the alternative is getting the money that is being thrown around nowadays. It will be interesting to see how the roster is filled out.

Cavs and Gilbert and James definitely have an up hill battle. After that stinging Finals loss Lacob and Curry and the Warriors upped the ante. I am sure Durant did not want to go down as this era's Malone and he got scared. Its very surprising to me. I didnt expect him to waive the white flag after being up 3-1 and losing like that. Maybe Durant thought he gave everything he ahd and he knew it would never be enough without monumental help.

Well, we shall see. The Cavs will once again play the under-dog role if an NBA Finals rubber match occurs and I will tell ya- I cant wait to see it happen.

There is only one King.

One thing, I bet you won't hear KD, Curry, or Klay promising multiple titles. Draymond might, but those three are humble, and that is why they have found each other.

Nah, we're offering Russell and Ingram.....Presti wants that over Rudy Gay, Presti is in total rebuild mode now.

I think the situation is entirety different as he chose a 73 win team that just went to back to back finals. Time will tell I guess, but there really isn't much of a precedent for this.

I wish I had Warriors season tickets..

Klay is the furthest thing from humble. I agree on Steph and KD being humble. Klay is a little bitch

 

[avalon2423]

Miami should trade dragic and winslow with some draft pics and get westbrook lol
