KD seems like a confused guy who doesn't exactly know what he wants.

KD to Toronto would be dope. Actually feels like a place he can do his twitter crap and the 24/7 media watch wont be there. Good place for him to just play ball and **** around on twitter.

I wouldn't like that it'd catapult the Raptors easily into the tier (or two) above the Bulls, but it'd be a great place for him. Still a great city, a passionate fanbase that won't mimic the New York Post/Daily News backpage drama, and would get him away from Irving's wild card unreliability vs acumen. I assume Masai would immediately clarify Durant's position in the organization, as their top performer but not a co-coach or whatever that nonsense was, nor an assistant GM who'd expect to bring in another DeAndre Jordan.

Imagine if the Raptors win a "rental" championship again?

KD really needs to go to an organization where it's just about basketball and he can leave the drama behind, and where he's clearly the best player.
Toronto really is a great fit.

There's the rub, though. This ongoing circus has shown that the 4 year contract gives the team no real leverage at all.

A history of Golden State facing injured opponents in the playoffs

-2015 First Round: Played New Orleans and they lost Jrue Holiday, their starting PG (who was **** amazing and dominating against Lillard this year in the Playoffs)

-2015 Second Round: Played Memphis without their star PG Mike Conley and All-NBA first team defender Tony Allen

-2015 Conference Finals: Played Houston without their All-NBA defender PG Patrick Beverley

-2015 Finals: They played Cleveland without 2 of its all-stars in Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love

-2017 First Round: Played Portland without Nurkic, their starting Centre that turned their defence around completely after being traded their

-2017 Second Round: Played Utah without George Hill, their starting PG

-2017 Conference Finals: Played San Antonio without superstar Kawhi Leonard and starting PG Tony Parker.

-2018 First Round: Played San Antonio without their superstar Kawhi Leonard again

-2018 Second Round: Played New Orleans without their All-Star center DeMarcus Cousins

-2018 Conference Finals: Games 6 and 7 without Houston's All-Star PG Chris Paul.

-2022 First Round: Nuggets Murray and Michael Porter Jr. didn't play.

You a clown, shut up.

In the 2018 Conference Finals, they will potentially be playing games 6 and 7 without Houston's All-Star PG Chris Paul.

You can add in the Nuggets this year with Murray and Michael Porter Jr.

Robert Williams was also playing on one leg in the finals

Yet, here you are replying.

Made you look like a damn fool. Can't be talkin like that when you clearly had easy paths. It's just the way of the game. You got beat and you're salty. :lol:
