Spoeank posted:https://twitter.com/ailene_voisin/status/882006163197317120 The selflessness of Kevin Durant to make sure his billionaire owner doesn't have to pay more money to other billionaires. Brings a tear to my eye.

ex post facho posted:lacob is gonna make it up under the table to kd just like prokhorov did with kirilenko KD probably has more money than Lacob does unless Lacob cashes in by selling the team. Most of Lacob's assets are smoke and mirrors that are going to go poof when the tech bubble enters its next deflate cycle.

You really are a tremendously unpleasant poster who makes far more than your share of personal attacks on other posters. I'm just telling you in case you don't realize it. Anyhow, here's a tip: people who already have nearly 200 million dollars in the bank, like KD already does, can afford to do things that others can't. Taking a 10 million paycut for one year so that he can keep a good deal going for longer, in a place that he apparently likes to be, with people he apparently likes to be with, is one of those things.

Ghost Dog posted:torpedoing every single other players bargaining position is not a good thing, and everyone thought he was going to take a max or close to this offseason but instead hes taking a 10m dollar paycut so???  if you think this torpedoes anyone's bargaining position. LeBron, Paul, Westbrook, and George are still gonna get near maxed/maxed next year.

Doesn't KD already have hundreds of millions in endorsement money? The blowback for the players union (which I can assure you didn't cross his mind for a single second) is lovely, but he's only playing for his own legacy at this point.

Lost in all the Durant noise is the exciting to me news that the Rockets are not trying to trade for Carmelo Anthony and Morey's going to hang onto the nonguaranteed guys barring something "amazing". We're going to war with Shawn Long, Tim Quarterman and Jarrod Uthoff baby http://www.chron.com/sports/rockets/article/Rockets-to-go-bargain-hunting-no-trade-talks-for-11264437.php?cmpid=twitter-desktop

At the Kevin Durant level... errr... not so much. Cesar Chavez isn't rolling over in his grave because a guy worth 200 mil took a one year discount on his contract.
