A Buff Gay Dude posted:Also what Lebron did with Miami is worse than what KD did with GS. look at this Dwight Schrute mother loving snitch who thinks joining the TechBro team (sponsored by loving Brita) that just beat your rear end in the conference finals after you blew a 3-1 lead is more legit than joining up with 3 pals and living in Miami, winning 2 titles, AND loving PAT RILEY IN THE PROCESS. Your right tho. Durant will win a title and everyone will love him. No one will think he's a punk rear end bitch who joined a team that was going to probably win without him anyway. They will just say "man, this Servant guy, he really excels in this system! What a savvy and thoughtfully prudent guy! First ballot in cargo shorts hall of fame."

I feel you, " A buff Gay Dude" but lebron also left a lovely team to go to miami. durant left russy, and that makes people sad because we thought of them as cartoon friends as drawn by some twitter woman and not Business Athletes

Lebron left a "lovely" team that made deep playoff runs every year (because any team in the east with Lebron will do that, but still) and Durant left Russell "7 for 21" Westbrook and a shithole of a town worse than Cleveland. Anyone who doesn't understand why a dude would leave playing with one of the most difficultly intense dudes around for a team like GSW when his job is to play basketball all the time isn't really thinking too hard imho Lebron ain't joining back up with Cleveland if they don't luck into those #1s and he practically forced them to sign Love.

I wrote this earlier but since you werent around I can sorta repeat it. No one is cheesed at Durant for joining a new team. Nor do they resent him for joining a team that he thought could be better. The thing that bothers people, and what makes many of us see it as a historically bitchmade move, is that he left a very good team for the best team. In NBA history there are close to no examples of a top 2 player leaving a top 5 team for a team that had one of the greatest regular seasons ever. The bitchmade-ness is also enhanced by the fact the team he left had a 3-1 lead against the team he went to. If Durant got Anthony Davis, Chris Paul, Giannis and Porzingis to form a super team none of this bitchmade resentment would be there. We'd just be like, poo poo, these guys are hosed. But he literally said "can't beat em join them." I dont know why this is so hosed but it's probably because its never happened before. A perennial MVP candidate has never joined his most severe rival in his prime. So it's not about him going to a better team. It's about him going to the only team in the league, even more than Cleveland, that would make him look like the biggest quitter BWV fucked around with this message at 06:31 on Jun 5, 2017 |

i think most people here would agree teams owe players loyalty more than the other way around, no one wants the billionaires protected from those Uppity Players but jumping ship from arguably the 2nd best team to the 1st when you are an mvp canidate is just so wildly anti competetive as to massively hurt the sport. lebrons move made a real contender in the east, it didnt join the best of several at the expense of one. kds move is -1 good team and has likely torpedo'd good playoff series for several years, at the very least this years were abysmal because of him. if kd hadnt left the warriors would likely be in a decently worse position than last year, the spurs/rockets/thunder would all be easily able to beat them and likely make a very good series out of it. in this hypothetical(and with the hindsight of knowing andrew bogut turned into a complete pumpkin) you could argue the thunder could be favored to win the west. instead we got 12-0.

You idiots keep suggesting/implying that KDs mistake was leaving OKC. As if it was the same team, or going to be equitable to the 2012 finals team. OKC was headed downward with a coach that couldn't control Westbrook's worst impulses. Who should KD have signed with if not OKC (near guarantee to get beat by the rockets, Spurs, clippers, Sacramento Kings in the first round) or GSW (buncha dope rear end team- and championship-oriented dudes that, with some work, guarantees me a chance at the finals)? What would have satisfied your sense of need for a gossamer sense of 'fairness' All that said going to GSW was kinda bitchboi move that robbed a sense of justice from the Warriors beating Cleveland with the same team. But CLE didn't stay still, why should golden state...a true rematch was impossible !!

OKC managed to make the playoffs in the west the year after KD left, Cleveland won 19 games the year after Lebron left. The Cavs weren't "pretty lovely" and you're being disingenuous or willfully ignorant. I don't hate KD at all but what he did was quite a bit different unless you possess no critical thinking skills

You can't help but think that if LeBron James had known his father, he might never have been down 3-1 in the first place. Fortunately we have a new crop of extremely fathered players coming into the NBA and the Balls will turn this league around. WOw can you imagine how good on defense the first player with two gay dads is going to be [again shaking my head in disappointment at Kenneth Faried's poor defense]

KD should have left OKC, but it was bad for the league and for his reputation as a competitor to go to either the Cavs or Warriors. Everyone understands that he's happy and he's winning; that's not the point.

Everyone understands that he's happy and he's winning; that's not the point. Where should he have gone? Lebron was the first star to realize his ability and contract situation meant he could play where he would be happiest, KD did the same thing. Also the post bron 2010-11 cavs dumped their roster to tank whereas this season's Thunder decided to let Russ carry their Garbo squad to a middling finish and the start of non lottery pick hell. The 2009-10 Cavs roster just minus LBJ would have been a lovely playoff team in the east.

The top 5 winshare people on the team besides Lebron in 2009-10 were also on the team in 2010-11. In fact, they added Ramon Sessions, who had their most winshares in 2010-11, so they improved the roster sans Lebron. Saying they would make the playoffs without Lebron is patently false.
