Basketball terms: Durant signs with Celtics, LeBron signs with Cavs.

There were talks about Messi leaving for a while, I wasnt shocked and PSG were one of main destinations. Ronaldo to United came out of nowhere I feel, way more surprised, I had no clue he was available.

Messi actually leaving Barcelona was more surprising. Ronaldo back to United? I'm shocked.

Biggest surprise is the amount of money they spent for washed up players.

Cristiano returns to Manchester = LeBron returns to Cleveland (2014)
Messi to PSG = KD to Warriors (2016)

Messi to PSG was even talked about a year ago. United getting Ronaldo again was always a pipedream that suddenly fell through. This is Ronaldo by far.

A washed Messi or Ronaldo is still better than 98% of the football world
this is like saying LeBron washed or KD is washed after his injury Re: Bigger surprise? Messi to PSG vs Cristiano returns to Man Utd

Ronaldo back to Man U makes me feel like I'm 15 again.
Are Steven and Frankie also coming back...?

Biggest surprise is having to see soccer garbage on a basketball forum.

I was 15 when Ronaldo signed with United, now I'm 33. I'm a corporate lawyer, he's still in United. It's obvious who worked harder all these years.

He makes a point (not specifically about soccer). Where do we draw the line? Can I make posts about e-sports as well? Maybe some chess threads? The World Series of Poker is coming up soon, we could do a thread for that as well on the Basketball General Board.
Or, we can use the off topic / other sports boards within Realgm...but those won't get you the clicks and attention you want since they're not so frequently visited.

Look at the soccer losers seethe. I would have given you a pass if you posted it in the football forum.

This is the problem. RealGM has way too many forums and 90% of them are dead. In my opinion since it's the offseason we should be able to make more OT style threads on here. If it becomes a major issue during basketball season then mods should stop it, but what is the harm in adding OT threads here during the offseason? There is not much news to discuss in the NBA right now.

The bigger surprise is how this is on a basketball board and not the SOCCER board.

As an outsider to Italian football, why did Cristiano want out of Juventus?

Man United are not the Cavs lmao. They're the 3rd highest valuation football club in the world. PSG isn't either for that matter. It's actually more similar to Lebron signing with the Lakers and KD signing with the Nets, ironically.
