That's fine considering it is your opinion but if you don't think KD will be a top 20 player at the end of your career then you have issues. I'm sorry.


Lets not ever forget that Durant joined the team he couldnt beat

I know you hate Lebron, but act like that is any other player in any other sport doing what KD did, and you know what you would be saying

if lebron wold have joined the celtics with kg, pierce and allen after he lost to them he would have never lived it down. it would ahve been humiliating and embarrassing.

its exactly what durant did---- joined a ready-made great team that had beaten him. he should be humiliated.

if lebron did that to get his first title he would have NEVER lived it down--- but- like i said- you cant grade them on the same scale---- durant isnt fit to lick lebrons boots.

Wrong in what sense? Dwyane Wade was top 3, and Bosh was top 10-15. Even Mike Miller while not a star, was considered to be a pretty big signing at the time. Those teams became loaded over time

I always said I didn't think it was a good look for KD to join the Warriors after what happened last year but I can't hold it against the man forever.

And they are just another early exit postseason team without Lebron

The Warriors are playing tonight without Durant

Oh forget it, the guy gets killed now when any rational human realizes there is nothing more one guy could do for a team

I disagree. If Leonard and Parker are available, I honestly feel like the Spurs eliminate the Warriors this year in 6 games if Harrison Barnes was still the SF. This year that is a 7 game series with TP & Leonard even with KD IMO

if LEbron would have joined the team that beat him- joined a ready-made championship team- he woul have never lived it down

but as i said--- cant judge lebron and durant on the same scale---- lebron is in another league. durant deserves some lee-way since he is not lebron--- no one is. you cant expect durant to be something he is not.

Possible, not likely, based on recent history

Durant is a fantastic player who led Golden State 3-1 last season in the WCF..........While the NBA watching world, looked so forward to that rematch of OKC and GS, Durant took that privilege away from all of us for many years to come...Only Lebron haters and GS fans appreciate the decision that guy made

Yes, we know, much like Love.....Stat stuffer who was allergic to winning

They're not comparable. Bosh was a complete player who provided value even when he wasn't putting up big numbers. Love is the god of meaningless stats.

What?!? So hypothetically, let's say that the Heat get Bosh, Miller, and some other 2010 free agent. I think Rudy Gay was the only other SF at the time so lets go with him.
You really think that that Heat team, with prime D-wade would be an early exit? That team would be the Eastern Conference champs dude, with a chance at winning the finals.

No, they would have never beaten a Lebron led team

No way dude. They were a 1st round exit the year before.

The 2011 Bulls, Magic, Celtics, and wherever LeBron is in this hypothetical situation are all laughing at that.

Bosh reminds me of what happened with Serge Ibaka......All i remember Bosh doing at Miami was hanging around the 3 point line
