A Warriors jersey? Fuck that! I just ordered my Michael Beasley Miami Heat jersey.

Would you believe me if I said I'd rather have Beasley back here over Durant?

This is scary

Bruh, this is out of control. If these take less to fill out the bench, the Warriors will win titles until they get tired of doing so

Who leads the Warriors in scoring next season? I think it's Durant and that he'll do it easily.

Cavs fans say they'll have no bench .

Bogut.

I was saying
It yesterday. He doesnt spur shit just to do it. He followed with a tweet saying this

A guy asks what his tweet was and his answer was " anyone with a brain knows what im talking about"

I said it too. There were some other vague references too.

At one point, KD said he would be a bit selfish with the decision process. He posted a video with he and Klay hanging out together. OKC's Ibaka trade hurt their chances when they failed to reel in Horford.

I was more on the fence than @Hambombs because I was not sure KD had the stones to make the unpopular decision, but there were signs out there.

There is no hate on the Warriors. They did a great job and got a great player but KD took the easy way out. Warrior fans should not care bc they have a ridiculous starting 5. Coward move though.

OKC should've thought about trying to spend as much money as possible. They've always nickel and dimed their roster relying on Westbrook and KD while having Sam Presti as a GM. This finally caught up with them.

@Scapegoat looks like your team won't be going back to the conference finals as well, huh?

Someone Puhleeeeeeeeease tell this Mofo to shut up.

Column circa 2011:

WESTBROOK - DURANT - HARDEN

That is a super team that is destined to win multiple titles!!
3 young guys (each of whom can easily be MVP candidates) on the same team.

Then you add a solid defensive superstar in Serge Ibaka and cagey do everything Jeff Green.
They should win every title from 2011-2017.

I cannot wait to see this dynasty unfold in Oklahoma City.

Yeah Cavs fans should be the last one talking. The only issue I took with it is because I don't like going to a team who beat you in the conference finals. Otherwise I wouldn't care all that much

People say super teams are bad for the league... I disagree.

The league has enjoyed the most success during periods of great teams.

It makes things more interesting. Great teams are fun to watch. Great teams losing are even more fun to watch. No losing in that situation for the nba.

I agree with this.

Super teams are bad for individual franchises that can't compete, but good for the league overall in terms or ratings. People want to watch the super teams, because you can't help but have a strong feeling about them. Love or hate, people will watch.

All the league needs it to find a couple other teams worthy of challenging and they are swimming in cash.

Lol @ saying coward move. If kd went to cleveland you would not say a such thing

Old man Paul sure looks great in a Clippers uni!

Thunder Chairman Clayton I. Bennett said this:

“Kevin’s contributions to our organization during his nine years were profound, on and off the court. He helped the Thunder grow and succeed in immeasurable ways and impacted the community just the same. We thank him for his leadership, his play, and how he represented Oklahoma City and the entire state of Oklahoma.”

And Thunder Executive Vice President and General Manager Sam Presti said this:

“Kevin made an indelible mark on the Thunder organization and the state of Oklahoma as a founding father of this franchise. We can’t adequately articulate what he meant to the foundation of this franchise and our success. While clearly disappointing that he has chosen to move on, the core values that he helped establish only lead to us thanking him for the many tangible and intangible ways that he helped our program.”
