Dwyane Wade could join LeBron James in Cleveland after Kevin Durant decided to team-up with the Golden State Warriors.
Speculations around the league have Wade joining James and the Cleveland Cavaliers following Durant's shocking decision of forming a super-team with Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green in the Bay Area.

I hope Kyrie could learn how to play defense with Wade.
He really seems like the 2nd coming of Wade
>>69260988
nice luck step
>some espn retards think lakers should trade for westbrook
Lord blazerus please aid us in this war the memoirs have started and lay a curse on the traitor of the BTC that is Kevin Durant
Godspeed everyone

Is Austin Rivers good now? I didn't watch much Cloppers. He was pretty terrible in New Orleans, he looked like a d-league scrub.
What would it take for Durant's image to recover from this legacy suicide? Would you forgive him if he went on to win 5 rings?
>you now realize the reason chinks and gooks love the warriors is because they can't grow facial hair like curry

>>69261043
She's a cold-blooded murderer.
I actually don't mind Durant going to GSW. It's just going to prove how overrated Curry is because by the end of the season KD will have better stats than Curry.
>>69261027
He's streaky, but he's good as a second unit PG/SG. I wouldn't go anything beyond that
>>69260969
It's not huge news to me because Wade is older now and always needs days off to rest. But he's still damn good and if you replace Delly with Wade that's easily an upgrade
>>69261080
One of them is going to be proven as a fraud and it's just a matter of who is going to be the ball handler.
What did he mean by this?
>>69261048
Lebron > Durant
Kyrie = Curry
Wade < Thompson (only because of age)

It's Curry. You don't really think Curry is better than KD do you?
>>69261110
Curry should thank the meme gods that Kyrie got injured in game 2 last year. They probably would have beat the Warriors even without Love
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABJhwZq4u70
>>69261119
This anime came out over a year ago.
AOTS is definitely
>>69261110
Not true.
I said it all year even though people called me retarded for even comparing Kyrie to Curry.
Kyrie and Curry are about the same player who are slightly better at different things.
Kyrie is a good 3pt shooter with superior handles and finishing through contact
Curry is a super 3pt shooter with good handles and struggles at finishing in real contact.
They are essentially the same player. I've always valued Kyrie higher because he steps up when the lights are brightest and Curry doesn't, but this is the exact same opinion that people were telling me I was a retard for having earlier in the season because all ya'll were saying Kyrie was fucking garbage at the game and injury prone and he couldn't hold a candle to curry.
So I don't wanna hear it from you bandwagon cunts in the aftermath.

What anime is it and for which season? The Spring season was complete garbage and Summer looks just as disappointing, even Shokugeki no Souma S2 which I thought would have no problems is getting a rushed adaptation. Bad time to be an anime fan and I'm not even one of those people that thinks all new anime sucks. 2011-2014 was the Golden Age in my opinion. 2016 is just trash.

THIRD WORLD SAFE ZONE THREAD
POST AWAY DARKIE MANLETFRIENDS
>>69261191
Durant is THAT much of a choke artist. He has no westgod and bench harding to carry him on the memeoirs.
>>69261171
ron artest is just as bad as KD imo, Lakers beat the Rockets in 2009 with a referee shit fest, then he shows up to the 2009 finals at a lakers game and signs with the lakers in the offseason.
Him and KD are both cuck faggots, and yeah that elbow was a fucked up move. NBA players should be thankful his mentally unstable ass is out of the NBA. But on the flipside now they have to make sure to wear reinforced cups thanks to draymond green
What does this mean for the back-to-back MVP?
Only good things. Warriors adviser Jerry West reportedly told Durant that playing with the Splash Brothers would make his life easier, but that's equally true the other way around. Even with all of Golden State's firepower, opponents often chose to trap Curry and make his teammates beat them. Green is incredible making plays when the Warriors have a 4-on-3 advantage and Thompson has added a lot to his offensive arsenal in the past few years, but neither of them is the kind of guy that terrifies entire defenses when he has the ball in his hands. Durant is.
Maybe Curry won't average 30 points again. I doubt he cares about that, or about if people look at it as his team or Durant's team. He's not a selfish player, and he's probably about to have the most efficient season of his life. Given that he just had a 50-45-90 year, that is saying something.
did someone say meme magic is real?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHSAHAHAHAHAHAHhahahahahahahHAaJAJhajHAKshadigIAUHYDGEw;fy.ds
>>69261203
Yeah can't wait to see him fuck the game and system with his iso-ball. And he's no Lebron when it comes to passing. That's a lot of height on the wings though, you got 6'10 Thompson on one end and Durant on the other, tough to defend 3's
>>69261216
>Maybe Curry won't average 30 points again. I doubt he cares about that, or about if people look at it as his team or Durant's team. He's not a selfish player, and he's probably about to have the most efficient season of his life. Given that he just had a 50-45-90 year, that is saying something.
This is especially true. In the last thread, someone said a reporter saying something about Curry not caring about the spotlight, and only rings.
>>69261180
Do you think he's ever told a ref "Don't ever talk to me or my wife's son"

Clippers once CP3 goes off and joins Lebron's superteam
This has been by far the most challenging few weeks in my professional life. I understood cognitively that I was facing a crossroads in my evolution as a player and as a man, and that it came with exceptionally difficult choices. What I didn’t truly understand, however, was the range of emotions I would feel during this process.
The primary mandate I had for myself in making this decision was to have it based on the potential for my growth as a player — as that has always steered me in the right direction. But I am also at a point in my life where it is of equal importance to find an opportunity that encourages my evolution as a man: moving out of my comfort zone to a new city and community which offers the greatest potential for my contribution and personal growth. With this in mind, I have decided that I am going to join the Golden State Warriors.
I’m from Washington, D.C. originally, but Oklahoma City truly raised me. It taught me so much about family as well as what it means to be a man. There are no words to express what the organization and the community mean to me, and what they will represent in my life and in my heart forever. The memories and friendships are something that go far beyond the game. Those invaluable relationships are what made this deliberation so challenging.
It really pains me to know that I will disappoint so many people with this choice, but I believe I am doing what I feel is the right thing at this point in my life and my playing career.
I will miss Oklahoma City, and the role I have had in building this remarkable team. I will forever cherish the relationships within the organization — the friends and teammates that I went to war with on the court for nine years, and all the fans and people of the community. They have always had my back unconditionally, and I cannot be more grateful for what they have meant to my family and to me.
not going to lie i cried when i read this
>>69261235
With Spurs being my home team, it's so-so
All this talk about KD and how he has no loyalty y'all foolish let someone say here go some millions and a chance to win a ring y'all men will pack your bags in 2 secs, buy your mother a house, leave ol girl, and buy 2 new cars. STOP THE MADNESS THAT MAN IS DOING WHATS BETTER FOR HIM YALL NOT PAYING NOT ONE OF HIS BILLS.....
>>69261263
>I’m from Washington, D.C. originally, but Oklahoma City truly raised me.
>fuk dat doe im goin to san fagcisco to chase me a ring!
now that +Harrison Barnesisn't on the Warriors anymore i must find a new favorite player on the team, i'll start taking applications during preseason and hopefully be the end of the first week but definitely by end of month ill have a new favorite player. one member #35need not apply.
i will be excited for every time Dallas comes to Golden state to Barnes come back though, he did a lot in the community and was always open to the fans during season ticket holder events. thank you for the autographs every time.
Hopefully they dont lose Livingston, or maybe i roll with Green or maybe one of the new rookies.
>>69261263
You really think that cuck wrote that shit? His agent wrote a nice story.
>>69261268
>Could have played with Lebron
>Chooses gay bay
>Gets cucked out of a ring anyway
I guess it's what Nike wanted though so you can't put all the blame on him
>>69261284
Livingston is staying for at least one more year. I'd hate to see barbosa go though, he's one of my favorite bench pieces.
>>69261288
>average nba bust
As much as I want to see Wade sign with my Bucks, I'd just love to see another lob from him to LeBron again. Also, I don't think signing Wade will be enough to beat this overpowered Warriors team.
>>69261250
>inb4 it was 3-1, we all know it was rigged
no your anger is real and hilarious.
>>69261288
dam this shit is embarrassing when you read it alongside his fake ass "next step" article
>>69261309
If Wade came off the bench and Barbosa follows Bogut and Barnes out the door, the Cavs' second unit would potentially be better than the Warriors'. That could be enough for victory; it's how the Spurs would beat teams in the playoffs for a while.
seriously how do you beat this team? the worst player is a finals mvp!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Who else thought the memeoirs were finally slain
I was happy at the lack of Warriors shitposting and this shit had to happen
Now we have to hear >"Could they beat the 96 bull" "are they the best team ever"
> for another. Fucking. Season
It's bad enough my team sucks ass right now but this is just insult to injury
>>69261288
nah, KD dictated something and then it was heavily edited.
of course his agent or publicist obviously set it up
it's a hollow fluff piece apologizing for something he does not feel the least bit of remorse for and in reality he shouldn't. Players have to maintain the illusion of loyalty otherwise their brand is devalued.

Durant is listed at 6'9 because that's his height. He was measured in college. That's without shoes though, and most players' "measurements" are with their shoes on. Udonis Haslem is listed at 6'9 but he's clearly 6'7 barefoot. Lebron is probably the same. Shoe measurements are bullshit imo

I have pair of shoes that add maybe .5 inch to my height. I have another pair that easily give me 2 inches. Who knows which of those two a player was wearing when he was measured? But barefoot height is always the same, accurate and precise. What's the point of even listing heights if they're not accurate? Everybody knows they wear shoes when playing anyway, people just assume the listed height is their true height, like when they go to the doctor and get measured. Doctor asks you to take your shoes off right?

Surprised the commissioner didn't hop in like the CP3 trade. Times changed

>It's just not fun to watch anymore
Watching Lebron get a free ride to the ECF year after year has never been fun. The fact that people are so deluded they've only NOW gotten sick of the NBA is a testament to how brainwashed some of you faggots are.
Even if KD stayed in OKC a year and left the follow year, possibly with Westbrook there would be bitching and salt regardless, but only if they went to a shit team. That people are shitting all over themselves because he went to the 73-9 Warriors is pure insanity, because there's nothing to suggest that him doing this guarantees a championship and will only make the other teams play even harder, during the regular season, to beat this team, the same way every single team in the league (with the exception of the Cockshits), played their asses off last season in hopes of ruining GS' historic regular season.
>>69261522
Hey retard. Base God lifted the curse already. If KD shits the bed there's no one to blame but him. Alternately, Westbrook won't be able to sit on his ass in OKC and let KD soak up all the blame when they have shit games now.
>>69261992
Silver interfering with an FA signing would be unprecedented iirc
>>69261971
distant? more like from the stone-age. desu bill russells rings shouldnt count in celtic arguments.
>Can you honestly blame Durant?
yes
>>69261992
the thunder had golden state beaten, twice, until both westbrook and durant decided they no longer wanted to win. Hell they arguably have a better team and future prospects too.
>>69261992
It's not an issue with going to the Warriors, it's an issue of going to the team who just daddicked you when you were up 3-1
If the Spurs destroyed the Thunder last season instead of the Warriors, KD would be a bitch for going to the Spurs
The unique fact is that the most hated team last season and the team that spanked him is one and the same. KD deserves to be hated, and I hope he never wins a ring desu
>>69261995
>will only make the other teams play even harder, during the regular season, to beat this team, the same way every single team in the league (with the exception of the Cockshits), played their asses off last season in hopes of ruining GS' historic regular season.
you do know they all failed....miserably...cept muh lakeys.
>>69261998
it's more like from the 2012-14 era, I have not dated since then.
>>69261992
yes- this not about what is best for him.
the regular season will now be boring
>>69261908
what
>people think Warriors will be good
Top lel
Westbrook will finally unlock his full potential without KD holding him back and will become Beastbrook, surpassing even Jordan
>>69262044
I doubt OKC will be a top 4 seed Marko.
who's up? is rnh dead?
>>69261817
Why do you hate people more successful than you? Jealousy man
>tfw all those free agency moves before KD were all for nothing
remember when we were getting all excited at all the moves being made? yeah, those were good times
>>69262078
remember the time before the memerriors?
golden era
>lakers in lottery mode still
>have to watch this garbage for another few years
Are Knicks even capable this year?
>>69262100
im starting to believe the memes.
we might actually be trash for the next 2-3 years..
none of the warriors success can be attributed to anyone but jerry west. they are all headless cucks otherwise, jerry west is a maestro and made the best lakers team
i believe he has one more team left in him to make great before he dies. hes probably tired of this warriors nonsense soon.
>>69261535
wish they took Cole aldrich
>>69262083
Big 3 Heat = Golden Era
showtime lakers was the best era,
>>69262109
He found a way to make the grizzles respectable (starting to wear off now) when their entire history was filled with failure and incompetence. The man is a bball genius
I don't think he's going to bust. If embiid is healthy. Sixers are going to be good.

>>69262131
big 3 miami had more nightly highlights than the showtime lakers prove me wrong
>>69262139
who cares? warriors win lol
>>69262135
Yeah, I dont see any brilliance on the warriors management besides attracting Jerry West. They still wallowed in misery when they had this championship team before 2015.
>>69262144
they were close but showtime was something else due to the way it was less about just the basketball game
>>69262145
i know but im just scouting for the fantasy basketball season coming up. hoping simmons and ingram get high usage.
Celtics gonna play warriors next season and send olynyk out to break durants shoulder for rejecting them kek
enjoy your final year of relevance meme state
>>69262144
>Be me
>Closest stadium is the Spurs stadium
>Go to Spurs stadium to see the Heat throw down alley oops and Lebrons power dunks
>I'm fortunate to have a "home" team that's good, but unfortunate that they're so good Lebron can't get a dunk all game long.
Fucking Spurs, I went to 3 different Spurs VS Heat games and only got to see 2 Lebron dunks
>>69262164
I was being salty. I'm probably the only 6ers fan here and I'm more than happy with Simmons so far. As far as usage goes, I think the offense will be centered around him a la Lebron - Simmons brings up the ball and creates shots for everyone else with the occasional ball down low for Embiid and Okafor.
If Okafor is moved and Embiid is healthy and plays up to his hype, I'm hoping to see something similar to Shaq and Penny, obviously and inferior version.
>>69262186
im a lakeys fans, and im jelly of your team. don't tell no one.
>>69262100
Just chill and watch the young players develop. Better than being a team that is trying to contend who now know Warriors will dominate them.
>>69262209
Fag, i called walton. Get ready to turn in your card. Im sure the warriors fans accept traitors though
>>69261375
He said himself he's 6'11
>>69262222
who are you @'ing? you're delusional my friend
>Drafting fragile Australian players
Now that Durant has killed the very franchise he built where do the Thunders go?
Not Seattle, they didnt even watch Sonics games
>>69262202
hope so, i've been anxious to see how this philly experiment pans out. all they need is a legit PG right? cletics cucked them hard draft night
>>69262254
VANCOUVER
>>69262254
hawaii
>>69262254
Trade Westbrook for peanuts since no team will loan him
>>69262254
I think alaska needs a team
>Westbrook could re-sign with the Thunder but he doesn't believe it makes sense financially to do the renegotiation to improve his salary for 16-17 and an extension.
>Without a longer term commitment from Westbrook after losing Kevin Durant, the Thunder could consider their trade options this offseason.
top kek
>>69262285
2 decision off-season in a row!? what a time to be alive!!
>durant not listening to barkley
when will they learn
and if people went full cuck mode with durant, people will literally be killed for westbrook
>>69262285
how the thunder are handling this is pretty remarkable. They'e probably going to lose 2 top 5 players in 2 years, but clearly have a plan, stability, and aren't panicking. Other FOs could learn a thing or 2 from this
>>69262313
Westbrook shouldnt be traded. Even if he walks next year its not like this team will exist without westbrook And durant.
So who is the second best team in the West now that the Thunder lost Durant and the Spurs lost Duncan to retirement?
I mean, this has to put the Clippers in the conversation and maybe even the Trail Blazers, right?
>>69262285
>Thunder will try to fleece a team for a non-committed Westbrook
>Watch the lottery teams (LA, Philadelphia, Boston via Brooklyn and Phoenix) throw their hats and draft picks for the Westbrookbowl during the course of the regular season
>After months of holding out they won't trade Westbrook and let him walk
Does Oklahoma have a good police department? They need 10,000 officers in riot gear next year.
>>69262325
What is the point of 2nd best if it is a distant 2nd?
>>69262254
Send them to Vancouver as another fuck you to Seattle.
>>69262328
I don't see either team trying to trade their young players. It doesn't make sense.
>lebron randomly signs a bunch of nobodies for minimums
>everyone scratches their heads
>play vs gsw in the regular season
>get btfo because he only played with those nobodies
>final game vs gsw in reg season
>sends them all on a murdering frenzy to break all the memoirs players legs and arms
>they all get expelled from the league as lebron cackels from the bench
>warriors unable to compete are sweeped 4-0 in the first round
>legod 16-0 into the championship
>>69262328
>>69262345
some shitty, almost contending team is going to take the bait and give up their first born for him
>>69262325
so i guess the spurs dont exist anymore? even though they might lose timmy, they're getting a paul gasol who's like timmy but like 3-4 years younger i think. and DESU pau > timmy. pau can still shoot and rebound, and play meh defense. dont count them out.
>>69262361
PHILTHYDELPHIA LOL, and the thing is westbrook might actually do it if simmons and embiid dont bust it up.
Can you imagine how much talent is going to be cucked from the spotlight because of this super team? Its like Lebron vs the Bulls, he basically ruined that franchise and a ton of players in their primes. this warriors team is going to be worse
