**MUHerd37** · 07-04-16, 12:37 PM

Total bitch move.

**lakerboy** · 07-04-16, 12:41 PM

Will come back. 2 years- 1 ring. Signs long term with okc then.

**CanuckG** · 07-04-16, 12:45 PM

One NBA team exec who says he was previously interested in trading for Andrew Bogut texts he's no longer interested. "I'm not helping them."

Next summer presents the challenge for GSW when Durant likely opts-out. With non-bird rights GSW will need to carve out $35m in room.

Golden State next summer could be paying out $328m in max contracts. Steph Curry, 5 years/$176m and Kevin Durant, 4 years/$152m.

They have Bird right's on Curry so whatever he gets paid won't matter. They have cap room to sign all their guys it's whether Golden State wants to pay luxury tax that will be the issue.

Dallas has emerged as a frontrunner on Golden State free agent center Andrew Bogut, league sources tell @TheVertical.

Easily should win the championship for the next 3+ years completely ruining the league , lebron winning this year actually screwed himself over now he's gonna lose this year be pissed make another super team with him Chris Paul and wade or Carmelo ..shits so watered down I wish there was multiple contenders like the NFL not 2-3 teams who have everybody and it's obvious will be in finals... Wow cavs golden state final again what a fckin surprise smh

Did The Bulls Winning 3 Straight 2 separate times ruin the NBA ? LOL....You have fallen for the TRAP....The NBA deliberately creates storylines to generate interest, emotional gambling and revenue...Lebron is now a good guy and Durant is the bad guy....Warriors are the villain/Miami Heat....The futures for GSW have already started coming in @ Vegas...the TRAP has been Set and millions are going walk right into it...GSW will win championships but NOT this year...

Basketball wise...GSW takes a hit...Bogut is gone, Barnes is gone, Igudala could be gone and is a year older...Ezeli could be gone as well...There goes the illegal screens...Durant is a ball stopper so the ball movement is going to suffer...things will not GEL right away...

**Mr KLC** · 07-04-16, 01:16 PM

We've never had reigning back-to-back MVPs play on the same team.

LOL...they said the same thing about Lebron in Miami....He will win but not in the 1st year..

How does Golden State even have cap room to sign anyone else?

What bench players do they have now?

Can the best starting 5 in basketball play all 48 minutes every night? Let's try it.

Curry only makes 12 million a season off his last extension he signed in 2014...Barnes and Bogut are headed to Dallas...more money off the books...they have plenty of cap space to sign Durant...but in 2018 after Curry signs his 200 million contract..I expect Klay or Durant to be traded...as they cannot afford both of them as Durant will command 200 mill as well....

**jtoler** · 07-04-16, 01:27 PM

Dubs unstoppable now, Curry, Klay, and KD will be sitting on the bench in for entire 4th quarters.

They have no bench so I guess they can sit on it.

**The Kraken** · 07-04-16, 01:52 PM

They're still a jump shooting team that now has less chemistry

May as well give Lebron #4 and #5, then watch KD run to Cleveland

**CanuckG** · 07-04-16, 01:53 PM

As a former Sonics fan, fukk OKC. Karma is a bitch.

Jordan didn't go to a team he choked against when he was up 3-1 and join up with four super stars.

The Bulls were a great story because it was about one player willing his team to championships. It was about the greatness of Michael Jordan.

That isn't what this is.

The Warriors will be able to shoot it but they're not going to be as deep and Curry and Durant are frail.

Durant doesn't seem like the type of player that fits into their system. It should be interesting. Durant is a one on one iso type guy.

**lakerboy** · 07-04-16, 02:03 PM

Let's face it. This is an indictment on curry. Warriors saw for 2 years he isn't good enough to lead and they then figured they would bring in a taller dumber version of the same shit.

**BigDofBA** · 07-04-16, 02:06 PM

This has to be the first time ever two Superstars teams up after both choking away 3-1 leads the previous year.

Unreal.

Also, classy move by Durant doing this on the 4th of July knowing that everyone will be talking about it all day instead of Independence Day.

**JIBBBY** · 07-04-16, 02:07 PM

NBA blocks Chris Paul from going to the Lakers, they should block this trade too.. Team stacking..

Bad fit anyways.. Does GS really need another scorer in KD?

This wasn't a trade.

**smitch124** · 07-04-16, 02:35 PM

Now that Ive had time to think about it, I was happier when I thought KD was going to the Celts.

Jordan never had to jump ship, his team was created by the front office and he was protected by the league...If Pippen and the REFS did not show up..eventually he would have left...Durant gets a D- for this move tho because he LEFT a championship caliber team...

Great for business. Got everybody talking about the NBA today. They know what they're doing.

**MoMoneyMoVaughn** · 07-04-16, 03:05 PM

Has anyone ever drawn more ire for a signing?

I know people will say Lebron but that was sort of expected and I think most of the anger was drawn from the whole spectacle rather than the move itself.

I have never been so disappointed in a player.

Pippen and Rodman are two of the greatest players in NBA history. HOF, top 100, whatever. Lets not act like Jordan played with a bunch of scrubs like the 07 cavs.

**twisted_rhino** · 07-04-16, 03:07 PM

I wanted KD in Miami! Well,maybe in 2 years

Exactly.

With that said, if you're a Sonics fan and are happy to see this happen to OKC, I won't hold it against you.

I hope the Warriors fall flat on their face next year. I hope their Chemistry gets screwed up and I hope they fail.

OKC had a good team.. KD should have stayed in OKC with Westbrook.. This is like Lebron leaving Cleveland back in the day.. OKC fans are bummed...

Foolish move and I hope GS loses and KD doesn't fit in... Westbrooks team now in OKC, he's gonna have to take over big time...

I know free agency... Should still be blocked..

Stacking teams like this could un-balance the league and make one team win championship after championship.. It's like stacking an all star team almost.. I hope it doesn't work out for KD..

Reminds me of what the Yankees did in baseball..
