Why the hate?

We won two titles with him, possibly the third this year.

I will root for him even if he leaves, i really hope he won’t go to the knicks, i dislike everything about that team and fanbase( a lot of them at least)


I love KD...I'll take him over Green. Unfortunately, KD does NOT want to be here. Why should I root for him? I'll be rooting for the current roster in Warriors... You can root for him when he plays against us...you have the right to do so...

They should give him a video tribute the first time he comes to play against the Warriors at Chase.

Fans should all applaud him, not pull an OKC.

Nobody was saying anything about rooting for him when he plays against the dubs.

Durant probably doesn't know where he is going yet.

Bucher probably cares more about getting attention than he cares about being correct.

Just before LeBron's decision to go to the Heat Bucher tweeted the GMs and blah blah blah were all telling him that LeBron was not going to Miami.
viewtopic.php?f=24&t=1031177&start=80

2 people at other websites wrote that Bucher went on live TV just before the decision and said his sources were 100% sure that LeBron was going to the Knicks.

Ric is 1 K short of being believable.

What makes you so sure?

Even if Durant is not willing to commit to staying with the Warriors that does not mean that he does not end up staying with the Warriors.

The Media have their own agendas and truth is not that important to most of them.

And then you have Green in the other corner saying sht about KD just recently.

The bad apple is Green...who is also pushing KD out the door. If I was Jacob, I'll be trading Green...the dude is cancer who thinks he is the reason why we won the first title.

Meanwhile I watch the games with KD and Draymond yuking it up on the bench having fun while blowing out the Lakers.

You don't know anything

Clearly clickbait material. I guess he was smart to wait until things simmered down and the Warriors found their mojo again to drop this fake news.

Another cap question: there is no way for something like a double sign & trade with Toronto for Leonard is there?

Not even worth trying to argue it on the general board but I think the chances Draymond was referring to KD are pretty slim. Coulda easily been making fun of Kyrie, the Ball family, or even more likely it wasn’t a reference to anyone specific.

Way too many roadblocks for anything like that to happen. S&Ts in general are a thing of the past, especially for the big-money players.

The problem for the Warriors is once you receive a S&T player in a trade, you are required to stay below the apron for that season. Assuming Klay re-signs with the Warriors, next to no chance the Warriors would be able to do that.

Bücher was on the Warriors beat for a couple of seasons for the Mercury, wasn't he?

But the Warriors weren't good when he covered them?

I think he was the Mercury News beat writer during the Webber/Nelson fiasco.

Seeing how KD and Draymond double dabbing on each bucket, they have a special bond and KD isn't leaving.

Heard him interviewed this morning and he totally walked back the "DONE" statement.

Post#520 » by CalGTR » Sun Apr 7, 2019 12:34 pm

With respect to Bucher’s “done deal” article, he’s merely restating the same rumors from the same sources we’ve been hearing all year long. Bucher also states that he didn’t get any info from KD or any of KD’s people. So, Bucher’s article doesn’t really add anything, and I’m a bit surprised it’s being treated as breaking news.

KD will make a decision, and the W’s will go on with or without him. Personally, I have a hard time believing KD is going willingly leave the best situation in the NBA for a very iffy, at best, situation in NY. I certainly can’t imagine bailing on a squad with a chance to make real history and to set themselves apart from every other dynasty in the modern era. If the W’s win it all again this year, it will be very tempting for KD to stick around and make a run at a fourth straight title.
