It'll be the same shit with the Warriors if they win. With KD there they'll get even more of a baby-face treatment, because you know the media is going to shit on the Cavs all year now that they don't have the 'Cleveland is a loser town!' spiel to harp on anymore.

I'm sure that bald fuck Silver is already counting his shekels. Nothing short of a lockout will save the NBA, but then I don't see if with all the money teams are throwing around.

Cavs and Raptors obviously, probably Celtics as well. If the Heat have a healthy Bosh and a happy Wade then they are too, but are any other teams noticeably better after those 4?

>trade faried for Blake
Any trade for a star from the Nugs will include Faried, Barton, Joff and picks. That's good enough for most stars in the league I reckon, especially considering that Barton is only on 3.5 million a year, and Joff is a rare stretch 5.

If the Nugs can get a star PF:

>Mudiay, Wade, Gallo, PF, Jokic
>Murray, Harris, Chandler, Darth, Nurkic
>Nelson, Beasley, Mike Miller, Hernangomez, Cornelie

Easily makes the playoffs, and has enough room for another max contract too.

It WAS supposed to be the salary cap but letting that shit explode in two years without there be a slow rise has ruined it.

Now there needs to be some rule about only a max of 3 all stars being allowed on a team.

But that isn't happening because Adam $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ilver is the biggest conniving Jew in sports.

Stern wouldn't have allowed this to happen, would have told the Player Union to fuck off and made sure the cap took time to gradually rise over a 6 year period of time.

I wonder what Russell and the Big O think about this bitch move KD pulled.

I'd imagine all the old school competitors think he's a pussy.

I know MJ has already written him off as a bitch, he won't admit it for business reasons, and Scottie is DEFINITELY mad as fuck about this.

What about T-Mac, Webber, and Barkley?

I already know AI is mad about it. At first he thought it was okay but SAS gave him an analogy about what if AI left Philly for the Lakers or Boston? He said damn and said he doesn't want to talk about it anymore.

https://theundefeated.com/features/oscar-robertson-lebron-hes-mvp-athlete-entrepreneur-and-leader/

It was the Oscar Robertson Rule that enabled LeBron to bypass college and join the NBA right out of high school. (This was before “one-and-done” was put into effect.)

It was the Oscar Robertson Rule that enabled LeBron to sign with the Miami Heat when his contract with the Cavaliers expired in 2010. He took a lot of heat for his alleged “disloyalty,” but he was simply exercising his prerogative as a businessman and making the decision he believed was in his own best interests.

Every professional athlete should have the right to make his or her own decisions about where to play, with whom, and for how much money. There is no other business that restricts the people who work in that business from making similar choices.

LeBron is now a free agent once again. I hope he re-signs with Cleveland, but at least he has the freedom to make that decision. And when a new salary cap kicks in the following year, he might already be under contract, or he may go through the same process all over again.

As a business decisions there is no hating Durant.

But as a competitor in sports there is more than enough reason to.

KD could leave OKC, but to leave for GS is just plain disgusting and goes against the competitive nature of sports.

The big O wouldn't mind KD leaving, but to leave for the biggest team that's already going to win championships regardless of you so you can finally have a ring when you're already in a position to do so is the antithesis to traditional American sports.

He could've went to any other city on earth. He could have done a sign and trade with OKC so they didn't get nothing in return. He could have not done this on the 4th of fucking July.

But he didn't.

And that's why he's a bitch.

What I'm saying is Durant didn't want to go toward a rebuilding project now since he started his career as the focal point of a rebuild. He wants to go to bona-fide, shoe-in for the finals contender.

>>
>>69280579
Literally fucking wait.

He's not going anywhere until then AND it really depends on how well they do in the season without KD.

A lot of things are still likely to change, and if it doesn't work out they'll have time to work out a trade deal before next year's draft and most likely trade for players and picks, as next year's draft is expected to be much better than this year's.

>>69280563
>also using 2016 vegas odds when Durant joined the Sonics/Thunder in 2007, drastically improved the team's record over the course of the next decade and put the Thunder on the map

none of that has anything to do with the Thunder having the 6th best odds. In fact, they sort of built the team around Durant and have a few players whose roles will have to be reconsidered.

so they are high odds in spite of Kevin Durant and absolutely not because of Kevin Durant.

David Aldridge tweeted that there is "no chance" Westbrook will sign an extension with the Thunder following Kevin Durant's departure, according to a source. He is set to be a free agent next summer.
>>
>>69280585
I'm not making any excuses for him. As a fan of the game it really sucks because not only is the regular season irrelevant, the 2017 playoffs have basically wrote themselves (barring an injury that changes a team's dynamic) and the only drama to chomp on is the inevitable Cavs/GSW pt. III and maybe some trades before the deadline. But lets face it, Durant is tired of losing and wants to get a ring and not become another Malone or Barkley or Nash. And with these max contract, no salary cap restrictions (luxury tax is such an asinine idea when teams are owned by billionares), why not take advantage and go easy mode? And LeBron basically proved that your "legacy" can always be repaired with time.

>>69280569
I always spelled it as Dwayne and would get confused as fuck when I would spell it wrong.

>>69280647
He is "very good" but he could be "all time great" if he wasn't such a pussy choker.

I mean I'm mad as hell because he's my favorite player but I guess I'm just attracted to shit teams apparently. It makes no sense to me since OKC was a top contender and had Warriors beaten. Their championship run would have been taking out the Spurs/Warriors/Cavs. How amazing would that be?

Instead I have this shit. I'm dropping him as a player fuck it I'll ride the Lebron bandwagon.

There's no way they're getting a good deal in the next couple of days and their chances just get smaller for a good one as the next season begins.

This is true.

Verbal agreements/oral contract in the USA are worth less than shit and forcing a player to make do something he doesn't without a true binding contract is against the law.

In the event such a thing were to happen the NBA would have to take a player to court and based on past cases the player will always be favored in the ruling.

in hindsight it doesn't really matter but there will be no GOAT discussion for him. But by doing this we all see that he doesn't give a shit about being Jordan. no player does nowadays, you don't hear it anymore.

this is why Kobr and duncan were so vital to the NBA

http://thelawdictionary.org/article/is-a-verbal-agreement-legally-binding/

>The reason oral contracts and verbal agreements are often looked warily upon is that they tend to present difficulties when it comes to enforcement. Contracts that are clearly written and executed are easier to present as evidence in court than the testimony of the contractual parties. It is also challenging to dispel contract defects when they are not in writing. When oral contracts are taken to court, there is always a risk of one of the parties lying about the terms of the agreement. In some cases, all parties may choose to be dishonest about the terms of the contract and thus create a legal impasse for the courts.
