I hate when ppl kill a guy for exercising his free agency rights, I really do. And I hate that I'm doing it right now but I can't help it.

At least Nike wins here and that's what's truly important.

who is the 4th top 10-12 player? Draymond?? lol!!!!!

They are going to have to make some other moves. Their offense will be insane but as presently constructed they should be easy to score on and will have a hard time rebounding. Call me crazy but I don't think this roster is a lock to win it all quite yet.

Do you think Duncan or Ginobli can rescind their options? Can every other team who signed a free agent rescind those pointless contracts?

I don't watch or follow this sport; I've been watching Wimbledon and the bottom line is relentless. Also, Stephen A. buried Durant for this.

Yes. Even if that's a little high I think he's the lynchpin to everything they do. I think he's their most important player.

Yup, his defensive versatility and offensive playmaking is the engine that makes the team go.

That playmaking will go out the window this year. His value to this team just went down dramatically.

Why is this gutless? Good for Durant.

Players take max money and they dont care about winning? Give yourself the best chance to win and your gutless?

Stop being butthurt about players not doing what you want them to.

Yeah adding another ball dominant player is going to make things interesting for sure. Who is going to be okay with taking a backseat?

You're right, Durant isn't used to playing with a ball dominant player.

I understood the vitriol against LeBron because of the way he went about it, but I don't see the hate for Durant. In addition to what you said, the guy built pro sports in OKC, this isn't some long tortured sports city.

If someone is having a hard time understanding why it's revolting to watch one of the top players in the league join the squad he just choked a 3-1 lead to then I don't know what to say. Maybe it's easier for fans of a shithole like Detroit to accept this kind of stuff because Detroit, Milwaukee, ect will never be a destination for anything anyway.
