This is the only thing that can compete with GS now. If the Cavs don't make a move then GS will be unstoppable.
>>69265971
Oh I guess Lebron just forgot how to drive and suddenly decided he didn't know how to shoot either. Maybe the monstars stole his talent in that game?

Why are German players always so damn based?
>mfw LeBron beats GScucks again
>>69266064
Fuck off.
Why are people saying Durant was "promoted"
He's going to average much less and and only have a slight advantage regarding championship contention.
>>69266159
>have trouble with atlanta
>Miami going to be better
Lebron has only ever made it to the Championships by playing in the Eastern Conference which, throughout his whole career, outside of 2-3 teams has been an absolute College Level Tier conference.
If Lebron had played even Half his career in the much much more superior and tougher Western Conference he probably wouodnt even have a single Ring.
Idk about any of you on /NBA/, but I think this whole thing is ridiculous. All KD wants to do is win as many championships as possible, that's what any player in the NBA wants. KD doesn't care about parity, none of the superstars do. All they see is themselves trying to win as much as possible. He's just taking advantage of the situation and doing all he can to ensure his career is remembered as a basketball legend and not another ringless player like Barkley, McGrady, Nash, etc.
PUTANG INA

>it's a delusional tripcuck has dumb opinions episode
Don't @ this board ever again.
>>69266263
>doing all he can to ensure his career is remembered as a basketball legend
for the next few decades hes going to be known as the pussy who went to the team that dicked him down in the playoffs. Sure he'll get his championships, but by teaming up with an already established championship team with multiple superstars makes him look soft.
>>69266263
Going to a team that just beat his ass in the semi finals and doesn't need him at all to be a championship team just makes him look like a cuck. He's still a great player, but this is undoubtedly a bitch ass move.

I don't think KD cares if he's labeled as a bitch for doing this. Honestly if he wasn't on such a long losing streak in the postseason he wouldn't need to join GS and we wouldn't have to talk about this. But this is a desperate move on his part, but he's just trying to win as many rings as possible at the end of the day by any means necessary.
Based fucking Warrior , not only did they give us their best glue guy and a star in the making, they also BTFO of Choklohomo faggots. Truly they are our greatest ally.

Durant is going to get the easiest fucking looks. If you think he isn't going 11 for 15 every night you're delusional.
>>69266385
MW Broship incoming
>>69266376
He's absolutely going to care. Players around the league already hate him, fans on every team hate him. He went from neutral to the most disliked player in the league. He'll get his chips but wont get his respect for it. If he truly only wanted rings though this was the best move.
>>69266376
>this is a desperate move
As long as he realizes how much of a bitch move this is.
>>69266393
>One held a TV special for his FA and then boasted his new team would win 7 or so rings
>The other FA'd to a already ring competing team that also knocked his team out in an embarrassing fashion
It's fucking close

No.
Kyrie danced on that nigga in the finals.
At the very least, good on KD for dealing with this quickly and quietly, and for not pulling a LeBron and mentally sitting out the postseason in advance of his decision. He handled things as best he could.

Literally all he wants is a ring and is willing to do anything he can. If he was confident in his team (which he wasn't) then he wouldn't have to join GS and just resign with OKC on the first day of FA (which he didn't)
>>69266488
Do you think Kyrie will improve? They were about evenly matched this year, the Cavs could get an edge if Kyrie adds a new level to his game
>>69266246
Just shut the fuck up, sit down with your wife and kiss your sister
>>69266376
those chips are going to ring hollow unless he faces equal competition in the Playoffs/Finals.

should have gone to cavs for minimum if it was about rings

>hes not part of the SKM broship
>>69266460
>>69266503
and to add to this Eastern conference has little parity of good teams compared to thr superior Western Conference. And Durant didnt leave the Thunder without a superstar like Lebro did. Unlike the Cavs post Lebrom the Tuunder arent getting a top pick Post Durant unless they tank on purpose

>wizards 6th seed next year
>>69266574
They're doing it. It's happening.
>>69266529
He despises Lebron. KD wants to be better than he is (which, if this GS deal squeezes out 2 rings during his contract he'll be one ring away from equaling Lebron
>>69266470
wew lad, almost got trolled for a second
My thoughts on the KD thing. He left OKC in basketball but he's going to be around. He's too involved in the community. Remember the Moore tornadoes? He gave $1M to help aid and personally donated time to clean, fix and rebuild the surrounding communities.
I hate that he left the Thunder because that's my team, but KD is in a new NBA. You know he had to love coming home and seeing all of those jerseys sitting at his front door as well as that 'For Sale By Coward' what a sense of love.
Best wishes to you, Kevin Durant, in the future.
>>69266507
If Curty adds some D to his game, I think he will be even better than Kyrie.
KD announces he's joining the Warriors: "Players today have no loyalty! What happened to staying with one team like the greats did?!?"
2 hours later: "D Wade needs to join the Cavs ASAP! Forget loyalty it's about winning"
>>69266562
But he was literally wrong after the first sentence.

>>69266589
kd could get 10 rings, and he still wouldn't be shit compared to lebron
its going to be gsw vs cavs for the 3rd straight season and gsw will lose for the 3rd straight season
>>69266569
Durant is not worse. You guys saying it is are just like cleveland fags the year Lebron left. Your emotions are clouding your judgement.
I dont see Durant having some big press conference for his decision, I dont see GSW holding some party event to say "Hey look at our new players"
Lebron going to Miami is at least 3x worse than Durant to GS
>>69266574
>>69266588
I'll pray for them. It's time for the Wizards to get some shine.
I don't really have an opinion on the Kevin Durant decision, other than that it really pissed some people off, fans and non-fans alike. But the Oklahomans should be grateful for the 8 seasons he spent there (when you don't include his rookie year in Seattle), and be grateful to the owners who purchased and brought the team to Oklahoma City.
On the basketball court, he gave you guys something to cheer about. But off the court? One of the nicest guys ever. Very friendly with the media, fans, and very charitable with his time and money. I think it's time you guys let him off the hook. People burning jerseys, saying nasty things about the guy's business decision (professional basketball is a business), you should be ashamed of yourselves.

we need to do something in the playoffs this year for John Wall and Bradley Beal's sake.
Also to recruit top tier free agents
Assuming no other significant moves are made this summer....here are my predictions for standings next year:
West
1. Warriors
2. Spurs
3. Clippers
4/5: Trail Blazers , Thunder (no order)
6 - 11: Mavericks, Grizzlies, Rockets, Jazz, Timberwolves, Pelicans (no order)
12. Kings
13. Nuggets
14/15: Lakers, Suns (no order)
East
1. Cleveland
2-4: Toronto, Boston, Indiana (no order)
5-7: Heat, Hawks, Pistons (no order)
8-11: Knicks, Bucks, Wizards, Hornets (no order)
12/13: Bulls, Magic (no order)
14. 76ers
15. Nets
>>69266648
I don't see any difference between Lebron going to the heat in '10 and KD's decision now. Both wanted were disappointed and frustrated where they were, said "Fuck it." and decided to join a super team that could garuntee them some chips. It worked out for Lebron. We'll see how KD does.
>>69266645
Lelbron offers to sign for less money and they move some contracts.
>>69266640
Oh was it the Raptors they had trouble with? What team was it that every hoke game was a blow out? I dont recal because Eastern conference teams are ass compaired to the western teams so i pay little attention
Durant will not get ANY playing time with Curry, Thompson, and Green! I don't even know why he signed... Ashamed
>>69266651
Lebron = created something new on a bad ass team
Durant = goes to something already established with a faggot ass team (Thompson's cool though)
>>69266617
It's not about loyalty, you dumb cuck, and fuck anybody who says it is. It's about KD going to play for a team that literally doesn't need him to win a championship and who literally just cucked him out of a finals appearance.
Fuck loyalty. If KD wants to move after nine years with no ring, fine. But to go to Golden State...just a straight bitch move.
The last 2 MVPs are on the same team now, but I think the award will go to a player from a different team this season.
>>69266725
The difference is KD and the warriors haven't made a big fuss about it which is why it makes Lebron to Miami the much douchier move
>>69266758
>I care more about tv specials than basketball
I'm just gonna filter your dumbass. Shitty annoying troll. At least clips4lyfe is funny.
>>69266725
Just look at how the teams they were joining performed the year before they joined
2009 Miami Heat: 47–35
2016 GS Warriors: 73–9
Lebron went to Wade and said, let's make this supra a 10 second car
KD went to Curry and said, let's put another turbo on this Bugatti
Do you really not see the difference?
>>69266753
Easy MVP for Lebron this year. Although he should have a fuckload more. He should have every MVP from 2008 at least, only arguable one is the 2015 MVP, but it's not because he wasn't the true most valuable player, just because of how the team record and other things play into the MVP rating system
>>69266740
>lebron created something new
>to a team that was only a few years removed from a championship
>to an already playoff caliber team
Nothing new was created and Lebron still needed to be carried in the playoffs
>literally dissappearing in the finals
>>69266742
Look at this salty faggot, i bet this dude was crying when Lebron was going to the Heat
>>69266791
>Lebron went to Wade and said, let's make this supra a 10 second car
>KD went to Curry and said, let's put another turbo on this Bugatti
That description kek
>>69266740
Where did lebron create something great?
Wade had already won in miami...
Kyrie made it to the playoffs without lebron...
Lebron had had 3 of his starting five be top 5 draft picks to win anything. Now the warriors get ONE and youre mad?
>>69266801
not a fan of curry and he's definitely not even close to lebrons level, but he deserved last seasons mvp
rose and durants over lebrons though, they were straight retarded
>>69266733
hes the only small forward on the team so yes he will?
>>69266725
It's the difference between Jordan persevering against or joining the Pistons after they beat him several times in the playoffs

In terms of the top 8 teams, the East is officially better than the West.
Will Durant ever consider coming back to Oklahoma?
>>69266837
Lmao all you're telling me is that you hate a guy for having a TV special. Not because of basketball reasons. I got all I need to know out of you Hahaha I bet you like espn and read modern journalism.

>>69266804
I'm starting to think Dirk Dynasty is Harry. You two are equally retarded and delusional opinion wise, but you type quite differently.
>>69266827
All I am saying is that Durant joined the team because he couldn't beat them!
>>69266791
here is another one
>Eastern Conference
>Only a few teams have a genuine shot at making the finals
>Lebron goes to Miami and effectively makes the East a Miami vs Boston race to the finals every year
>Western Conference
>5-6 teams with legit chance at making finals
>KD leaves a team that will still have a chance without him to a team that already has a chance
>>69266868
they're both 1 team conferences now, how retarded are you
>>69266868
East is improving and West is declining, they're definitely closer to the same level
>>69266861
When WestGOD wins rings back 2 back, he'll beg him to let him back on the team.
>>69266804
I'm still waiting to watch lebron WIN a final.
I've watched 3 guys win him rings.
Ray Allen.
D wade.
And now kyrie.
He has been a non factor late in games when his team needs him. Missed his last 5 shots this year with the score tied.
Year before shot below 40% and his blind fans wanted him to get mvp....
>>69266864
i thought you were filtering me? didnt even read your post, just filter me and go to your safe space. bye
Facts. It's not about ONE championship or a couple. It's about making a dynasty
>>69266899
>KD leaves a team that will still have a chance without him to a team that already has a chance
Please tell me you seriously think OKC has a chance to make the Finals w/o KD. Do you actually believe this? You're delusional, and Westbrook is gone after next year.

Gtfo.
>>69266922

Wade already won before LeBron joined Miami, at worst KD is just as bad as LeBron
>>69266804
>to a team that was only a few years removed from a championship
>to an already playoff caliber team
And how is that worse than KD running to a team that was a championship tier team, with two consecutive finals appearances and one victory and an almost certain third finals appearance even without KD, two of the greatest three point shooters in the league, and the back to back MVP AND the only player to get an unanimous MVP?
I just need to filter your stupid ass.
Chances of Russ to Sixers???
C-could it actually happen sempai
>>69266758
Weren't you just arguing that KD to GSW was less worse than Bron Bron to Miami?
>>69266965
You see you are misinterpreting a lot of my posts and that unfortunate
I dont hate lebron, I am completely indifferent to him. He is perhaps the greatest athlete playing in the NBA
but to say all that shit that happened with the decision, and that pre season "not 4 not 5 not 6 but 7 rings" crap isnt douchier than KD relatively quietly signing with GSW then you are completely mistaken.
Unless GSW has some "We got KD suck our dicks" shit then and only then will KD to GS be douchier than Lebron to Miami
>>69266919
>>69266944
>samefagging this hard
>oh those two 41 point games agains the team with the greatest regular season record ever meant nothing. He didn't make the last 3 pointer!

You guys are dumbasses

>>69267000
He won in 2006. You cucks are really reaching.
Now that the warriors have traded Andrew bogut and signed zaza pachulia, who do you think is the better center?
Zaza: 26.4 mpg, 8.6 ppg, 9.4 rpg, 1.7 apg, .8 spg, 0.3 bpg, 46.4 fg%, 76.8 ft%
Bogut: 20.7 mpg, 5.4 ppg, 7 rpg, 2.4 apg, .5 spg, 1.6 bpg, 62.7 fg%, 48 ft%

You're right he finished a series shooting 50% in the conf. Finals. Something he has only done once in his last 8 series.

>>69267230
His defense looked a little suspect, for a supposed plus defensive player.
>>69267290
Because the Front Office knows Reinsdorf will never fire then so they can make one bad decision after the other. Any other Front office would have been fired after last year's horrible excuse for a season.
>>69267329
LeBron won't be as clutch as a majority of stars. Wade, ray allen, kryie, steph, kd, kobe, michael, dirk, and on and on and on.
I honestly can't think of any player in any sport with so much potential and a high caliber player that just doesn't have a clutch gene in their body and is notoriously such a terrible closer.
>>69267210
Wow, is it possible to make it to the finals without playing in the regular season? I'm sure if you remove Lebron from the Heat or Cavs, they would have made the finals anyways. Filtered.
>KD actually thinks he'll play a minute in Golden State, and take any part in the glory of their next hip
What he doesn't realize, Steph had this all planned out. He loves cucking Durant. It's his favorite hobby besides chucking.
>yfw Steph purposely went down 3-1 just do he could come back and make it even more devastating for Durant instead of completely shitting on him, which made the heartbreak so bad he had to completely lose all honor and respect and legacy to become Steph's fuccboi pussiboi in Oakland as KD sits on the bench and watches Steph sink 3's and win rings, meanwhile KD warms the bench, cucked, defeated. He realizes that everything in his entire life has led up to that point, getting unequivocally cucked in every form and facet of life by a light-skinned nigga with a gay ass name, Steph Curry.
>after the game Steph fucks and creampies KD's mom while he repeatedly says 'y-you the real MVP S-steph" and cries

It's the east. Both teams made the playoffs the year before without him sooo.... you're right exactly sorry..
>>69267376
>Kevin Durant
>clutch
And he's still a spectacular player regardless. Fuck off, retard.
>>69267290
because he isn't that good anymore and gasol/noah were leaving anyway. It's time to blow up the team and focus on rebuilding. The only thing they failed at doing so far is moving butler
>>69267266
>opinion
>objective
Are you even trying anymore?
What is the point in talking about any other team than the Cavs or Warriors? Why care if you make the playoffs this year? You won't win anything, the Cavs and Warriors are the only good teams in the league and you know this. Accept defeat and move on to 2017-2018 season already
>>69267407
Fuck off, Harry. You're not even making good b8.

Watched the man light up many a 4th quarters. When his team needs him most.

>>69267376
You just listed a bunch of unclutch players. You know Lebron just made a bunch of clutch shots in game 7 right? The 3 vs ezeli? The free throw after breaking his wrist? How about the block on iggy?
Keep sniffing paint you curry dickrider I see you
>>69267447
Kyrie made it without lebron and wade had already won without him...
>>69267376
>clutch gene
Get off is /sp/ Skip you have a new show to focus on
Reminder the only way for the Weatern Conference to be competitive is for Lebron to leave and play the Big Boys in the Western Conference.
>>69267458
Literally choked away 2 games in the 4th that would have put away the warriors.
>>69267481
No they didnt. The cavs were the worst team in the league. They were in full tank mode
>>69267423
>trade away your hometown superstar for one old guy, one decent guy, one literal who and a second round pick
Doesn't sound too smart to me. They should have tried to get two first round picks. I'm sure some team might've been desperate for a player that get fans to come to games
>>69267481
I can't believe people make posts like this. What's worse, I can't believe people actually respond to them
>le clutch meme
I know why people think you're all underage now. You've never played a sport and just watch fictional narratives from ESPN.
>>69266417
>Klay = Wade
yeah maybe 2008 Wade
>>69267458
Oh, is the regular season important again, now that it's convenient for your argument? Where was he in the semifinals vs GS? 10-31 shooting?
>>69266672
>>69266688
It's simple. We kill the Mario man.
>>69267474
Watch their regular season game going back and forth and back and forth into ot?
>>69267350
Those 2 BS that ended Simmons career weren't good enough for you
>>69267481
Stop posting, Harry.>>69267458
OKC is notorious for dominating three quarters then choking in the 4th. You are a colossal retard, STOP posting.
>>69267477
Lol I don't like curry. He's better than lebron but not a fan. Wade and Allen aren't clutch? And kyrie? If they weren't clutch lebron would have zero rings.
why do people hate durant lebron and curry so much? you guys should appreciate great players like them while you can. its not like they are bad people
I hope Wade goes to Cleveland. Miami played with him and his money long enough. They tried to low ball him again and had him waiting for the KD decision when it was obvious KD wasn't coming. Also Cleveland is the best chance to win a chip and it doesn't hurt that his buddy LeBron is there. Go chase that ring Dwyane!

D rose is not even an allstar anymore, much less a superstar. You are really overrating his current value. The bulls are in full tank mode and fire selling everthing
Honestly this is bad for the Nba.
If I was a small market team owner I'd be passed.
Not even looking forward to next season.
Post this and watch the lebron fans back peddle.
>>69267562
>regular season
Is regular season important now? Cause all you fags were focusing on when it came to Lebron was post season.
Post season wise, Curry has been quiet/a straight up no show in both 2015 and 2016.
>no FMVP
>>69267613
NBA always has been dominated by a handful of teams.
KD free to go where you want to go, that's all his choice but enough with these bs statements. Its not like he was on a scrub team. If losing a 3-1 lead in the WCF wasn't enough to encourage you to be a better player and light a fire in you, that whole statement is trash. Be honest and say, "I think it will be easier to join GS."
KD statement:
"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."
Anybody else think the Bulls should've just traded Butler? Dude is a snake and a franchise-killing player. Sure, he can score 25. But the dude is a power-hungry weasel with an inferiority complex. He wants it to be his team and wants to be the best player more than he wants rings.
If they had traded just Butler and kept Rose, they would'nt have had an exodus and garbage-tier team left.
>>69267604
Makes perfect sense to sign Rondo and not trade Butler if they are tanking. Oh wait. Bulls are just retarded.
Glad to see Dirk is going to be a Mac for his career... 2 years roughly 40 mill. ... that's how you don't don't dis respect your teams best player ever
Dirk Dynasty = Harry
Prove me wrong
>>69267637
cool stats
>>69267651
I seemed liked Bulls wanted too much for him and trade partners wanted to pay too little.
>>69267320
Are the modern day warriors the equivalent of Bill Russel's celtics back in the day?
Is Kevin Durant/Steph Curry going to be this generation Bill Russel to Lebron's Wilt?
>>69267637
Ok is it just regular season or post season that matters? Because you and that tripcuck keep on switching your opinions on that when it comes to other players.
Reasonable Stats for the Big Four.
Kevin Durant: 27 PPG, 8.5 RPG, 4.5 APG
Stephen Curry: 24 PPG, 4 RPG, 9 APG
Klay Thompson: 18 PPG, 3.5 RPG, 2 APG
Draymond Green: 12 PPG, 10 RPG, 7 APG.
If you somewhat agree or disagree, feel free to leave your predictions in the comments.
>>69267677
Probably cause they knew and anticipated what kind of player and teammate Butler really is
>Curry is a clutch player
>>69267688
Yea
except that was a defensive team and this is an offensive team, so Lebron has a better chance of winning than Wilt did
>>69267670
How can such a level of domination be possible?
Sources say that Wade is strongly considering the Cleveland Cavaliers.
>>69267670
Turnovers too!
Set the record for most in a finals.
>>69267670
DELETE THIS RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!!!
>>69267557
He's more powerful than Harry
I'm not sure we can stop him.
ROTY
>>69267376
>Clutch
We found the "last shot" faggot. What a drama queen.
>>69267647
>moving out of my comfort zone
Goddamn he is so full of shit it's coming out of his ears. You can literally replace all of this with, "I just want a ring, and I don't care whether or not I'm actually needed to get it.
>>69267691
Reasonable stats for their entire bench combined:
0.7 PPG
0.3 RPG
0.6 APG
>>69267723
>Curryfan OR Durantfag talking about turnovers
>>69267723
Nice try, Harry.
So is D Wade going to be in Space Jam 2 or what?

Who cares, nice try Harry

>Literally leads all players in all stats
>B-B-BUT T-T-TURNOVERS
>Literally Curry
Holy shit damage control better or just don't @ this board ever again
>>69267751
Not last shot. A lot of other players had bigger roles in that finals.
If tristan didn't pull down every board in game six.
If kyrie didn't shoot 70 percent in game five. If Harrison barnes could make a basket in 5 or 6. Warriors would have won those games.
Lebron is stagnant and gonna get his 25 points quietly he isn't the difference maker.
>>69267721
Not sure why people are so high on wade. He doesn't fit the cavs at all unless he comes off the bench. He's severly overlapped by both levron and kyrie. The starting lineup needs a floor spacer like jr
HUGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN KD AND LJ
Lebron left his shit team for a good one
KD left a good team for another the difference IS Durant
KD was OKC him and westbrook
Lebron rode everyone elses coattails
Then came back to a team with a bunch of 1 draft picks he didn't do anything
Durant made his team great and is going to another great team and is gunna make them greater
KD is humble
LeBron is a nigger
>>69267721
Wade is done. If he signs it's because LeBron wants to get him one last ring in exchange for all those salary cuts.
>>69267801
>if
Nice try Harry
>>69266246
>had trouble with Atlanta
Nigga what? I'm an Atlanta fan and this makes no damn sense
>>69267801
What if Lebron didn't get fucking 41 TWICE in a row in games 5 and 6?
>>69267801
>he actually believes this
>he actually, genuinely, unironically thinks this isn't the most retarded thing ever said by a human being

Who won you brain damaged flip
>>69267826
Dirk Dynasty is a fucking idiot.
>Atlanta gets swept
>having trouble
>>69267829
That what if is pointless. LeBron Sims willed his team to win just like he did in Game 6 of the 2012 ECF. If he needed even more points to win he would have gotten them. It was all for da land
Dirk Dynasty = Harry
Prove me wrong
>>69267801
Everyone is giving u shit because you are right. Lebron was not the difference maker no matter how padded his stats are. Kyrie was the real MVP. And tristian pullin all those boards. Kyrie hitting that clutch 3 and then Lebron missing clutch free throws. Lebron wasn't even the second best player on the team. Kyrie was the real MVP
>>69267866
Simply*
>>69267869
Probably. Both have retarded terrible arguments and back it up with some form of >u mad
Why do we get all the autists? Is it my fault?
>Harry didn't kill himself in the off season
men everyone is taking the heats bench and the grizzlies are take the heats coaching staff

You were warned. You are officially shunned for your dumbfuckery.
>>69267869
I thought so too. They're both equally retarded/delusional, and the amount of Harryposts have gone up quite a bit as the Dirkcuck posts went down.
Anyone remember Tim Thomas on the Bucks when he wore 2 headbands?

Calls someone dumb fuckery. Can't even reply.

Memoirs would get blown the fuck out, but they're not even going to make it out of the West this year, spurs will save all energy to BTFO those pussies. Westgod might even go SSJGOD on their asses and singlehandedly beat them.

Literally they wouldn't be there without Lebron so your point is mute.
This isn't Kobe where his team could make the finals without him
