I think KD is 110% going to New York

[MindState]

Curry is not going anywhere.

Curry is not the warriors best player, thats common knowledge to everyone but a few delusional warrior fans that refuse to accept reality.

Hey KD, first thanks for posting. Now, please walk me through your logic here. In the thread below, clyde21, myself, and two others worked out and posted the w/l records with various roster combinations, including you (and Green/Klay but no Curry), and with Curry (and Green/Klay but no Durant):

viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1691849&start=180

Pgs. 5, 9 and 10 have the relevant numbers. Basically, it's .750 when Curry plays, and 550 when he doesn't...regardless of the other variables. How are you "obviously the best player" when the team seems to win just fine without you but doesn't win nearly as much without Curry?

Still with me, KD? Regarding your "impressive" 2018 finals MVP, while awed of course, I do have a question: Game 1 was the only really crucial game, and Curry was much better--tying the game and giving the Warriors the lead with a clutch shot 20 seconds before the end. In Game 2 as well, Curry was better, closing out the game with 17 points in the 4Q. Now, you kicked butt in the Game 3 and Game 4 blowouts--and so got your second fmvp--but do you really think you were the "obviously" best player for GSW in that series?

See, this is my main issue with you--you're a great (top 3) player, but until you joined another MVP and multiple all-stars, you did kind of disappear in a number of important match-ups. E.g., you went over three years without beating LeBron James in a head-to-head matchup, a streak that included Christmas Day when the Cavaliers topped Golden State (and the newly acquired Durant). At that point, you were 4-18 in your career against LeBron James. Heck, until you left for GSW, there was only one franchise (Boston) that James averaged more points against than your Oklahoma City, and you received most of that punishment. In your 17 regular season games before joining GS, James averaged 29.4 points on 52 percent shooting from the floor and 38 percent from behind the three-point line, while putting up seven rebounds, seven assists, and 2.2 steals per game. You, however, averaged a bit less.

So, yeah, as a delusional basketball fan, I guess I just don't get how you're "obviously" the best player on that team? Could you please explain? Thanks!

Watch the playoffs, its easy to see KD is the best player on the warriors.

Its really that simple.

he gives u a huge list of why Steph is better, and your response is WaTcH thE PlAyOfFs?

fyi...Durant before joining the Warriors had a 56TS% in the POs, which shot up to 64% with the Warriors. It's pretty **** obvious what the reason for that jump is.

I dont care about that huge list of numbers.

When Curry goes cold and KD has to carry the team to wins in the playoffs, youll see.

Oh wait, thats what hes done for the past 2 years since he joined, right after the 73 win warriors choked a 3-1 lead on the back of Curry bricks.

[michaelm]

Yeah (Warrior fan here) I think he's gone and I think it's a good thing for the NBA and even the Warriors.

Maybe from a PR standpoint, okay. But from a cap standpoint? The Warriors are screwed if KD leaves unless the Warriors somehow get a S&T out of it, which is remote under the current CBA.

They are fairly screwed if Durant leaves unless Myers can pull a Draymond level player out of a hat, I don’t think there is any way they have the cap space to sign another elite player. They will be competitive if not dominant as long as they have a reasonably healthy Curry imo though.

The Warriors have a better Offensive Rating in the POs with Durant off and Curry on than vice versa. Durant's efficiency numbers shoot up across the board when he's Steph. His TS% went up 8% playing with the Warriors, while Curry always the same with or without Durant.

You're massively BSing. Just admit it and walk away now before it gets deeper.

[ProcessDoctor]

KD and Kyrie to New York. AD will be there too unless the Knicks get Zion.

[cdubbz]

I think it would be great esp if NYK gets another star. Not high in Kyrie (because they have DSJ) but if they keep DeAndre Jordan + KD + Kawhi....oooweee that’s scary. If they know they’re getting Kyrie Irving then they should trade DSJ for a lottery pick.

[xdrta+]

Yeah (Warrior fan here) I think he's gone and I think it's a good thing for the NBA and even the Warriors.

You can only think it's good for the Warriors if you think it's good that they won't win a ring.

[Pablo Escobar]

Clippers would be cool as well.

Why is it important whether KD is the best or the second best player in the NBA anyway ?.

[Jose7]

real talk...the way the warriors have disrespect KD...you think he aint get bothered by bob myers and co's comments at the parade and dray talking all that shyt...he should be gone

[LivingLegend]

Maybe . Him+ Kyrie would be interesting

KD, Kyrie and Butler in the same locker room I would pay to watch. KDs personal insecurities and media beef, Kyries Alpha but Im really a Beta mentality and Butlers ability to alienate everybody around him would be prime HBO series kinda stuff.

[ShadyMoney]

i think it's down to the Warriors, Clippers or Knicks. i'll give each a 1/3 chance.

Warriors are completely out of it.

[taikibansei]

real talk...the way the warriors have disrespect KD...you think he aint get bothered by bob myers and co's comments at the parade and dray talking all that shyt...he should be gone

Green told KD to his face before he signed with them that GSW would win more championships whether he signed with them or not...and KD still signed. I.e., KD wasn't "bothered" by this before, so I doubt it would be an influencing factor now.

If KD leaves GSW, it will be to go somewhere he gets the max and can compete for a title...the latter to "prove" the evil media pundits "wrong."

[ShadyMoney]

WAIT

It’s people on this site who think that Wardell curry is better than KD?


lmaooooooooooo

lmaooooooooooo

It is a point got subtle distinction, they are the two best players in the NBA and which of them is more valuable is match-up dependent. Durant benefits from Curry’s gravity and playmaking, Durant presents an unstoppable iso option used judiciously since he can shoot over virtually anyone, and his own playmaking including his assist to turnover ratio has become progressively more excellent. I think both will find it much more difficult to win titles if they separate after this season, but if Durant wishes to follow his star then that is fine with me. I will have the memories forever, the 2017 team which went 16:1 in the play-offs will remain ranked among the most elite teams in NBA history for a very long time imo.

For the people who like curry better

Please post his defensive stats. Tops plays and clutch moments when on defense in the finals WCfinals.

I have to be in the twilight zone.

I know Clyde21 is a supreme homer, but LMBAO.

HAS he even won a finals mvp? He u let TWO dudes come to your team and steal yo trophies?
