    Honestly if people are that upset about this then they might as well stop watching the NBA, this is gonna be the new normal. It worked for Bron, will probably work for Durant so no reasons stars won't keep doing this.

    Easier load for them+much better chance to win a title+basically the same money..

    I wouldn't have. Howard is an injury prone cancer that nobody wants to play with.

    A lot of ppl will.

    Horford has had his own concerns as well though and I still believe Howard is more talented but like you said just carries the baggage. I think Boston would of been a good place though more of a team environment he wouldn't be in a stars shadow and at this point no ones gonna compare him to a Bill Russell like he got all the LA great big comparisons. Brad Stevens could of made it work

    As much as it looks like Golden State will be a traveling all-star team, keep in mind chemistry is a big issue. There's no way they'll do better than 73-9, and Durant will be worse off statistically having to share the ball. I say he averages in the low 20s PPG. So unless they win the championship, it's all for nothing. I'm 110% rooting for Cleveland to win it again this year. If Lebron makes his 7th straight Finals, and wins his 4th ring, by beating THIS team, he's without a doubt the GOAT, even above Jordan.

    Speaking of Harrison Barnes, I can't believe he's getting $95 million. He was basically just an okay player on a great team. Still wish my Sixers signed him though.

    Barnes can actually score. The Warriors just tried to make him a spot up shooter, which isn't his strongest part of his game. He's great at getting to the basket and posting up.

    But he was still overpaid and never developed into that 3rd option for GS.

    Can't believe OKC traded Ibaka to Orlando. Bet they're regretting that now.

    That may be true, but the same teams usually win it all in the NFL too. In the last 20 years they've had 11 different winners and the NBA has had 10. The well run teams win it all most of the time regardless of sport.

    going into the season, i don't think anyone had the broncos winning it all haha

    NHL and MLB postseasons are a toss up. last year, everyone would have thought cubs were winning the WS

    I didn't say it was unethical. I don't blame either of them honestly, but one isn't way worse than the other. Both were basketball decisions, and I'm sure lKD will be successful just like Bron eventually was.

    Nah he was gonna be a FA and gave off a vibe like he was ready to go. They fleeced Orlando, sorry @Ordinary Joel

    I'm not even mad at KD, but with one less contender (OKC), it just waters the league down.

    I bet OKC is still a Top 4 seed in the West. They played pretty d--- good this year when Durant was hurt.

    Durant didn't miss significant time though, he did the previous year and OKC missed the playoffs with Russ putting up Triple Doubles like every night towards the end of the year.
