Excellent point. You are right............if it was Golden State or OKC he would have at least ruled us out and we would have the "leak" already. Good point.

Everyone is just jumping on the back of that bettor hyping GSW so they can say they knew the news ahead of time. Kennedy, Kyler are just new aggregators and not news breakers.

Good morning let's get this circus started.

Australia is just waking up. Anyone give me a summary as all I see is 10 pages of freak outs with no substance

Danny Ainge needs to call Kevin Durant rep, and try to seal this deal. You can't just relax because you had a good meeting with him.

Watch Dallas come outta nowhere and finally get their star.

Lebron didn't join a b2b champion.

Assuming he does go to GS, he will still be ridiculed as he should be. He is still joining a team that has been to the finals two years in a row while winning one. A team that clearly doesn't need his help to win a title.

You are right that he will still be ridiculed. That is for sure but it will be comparable to perhaps the Lebron ridicule and not something 10 times worse with not enough upside and tons of downside.

Imagine GSW with KD losing the title next year after winning the two previous titles with him. He would be the laughingstalk of the entire league.

That possibility went out the window when GSW lost this year and Cavs got a lot of deserved hype by winning it.

Would be way worse then the LeBron fiasco, considering the circumstance of the teams both guys were only prior to moving and the circumstances of the team the signed to.

The LeBron backlash came from "The Decision" special. But no one faulted him for leaving a supporting cast of Mo Williams, the corpse of Shaq and Antwan Jamison for greener pastures.

KD meanwhile has Westbrook, a team that had a 3-1 WCF lead and would choose to go to a 73 win team that he just blew that 3-1 lead to.

KD deserves WAY more roasting then LeBron ever did.

The Warriors really Kevin Durant. He is just like Lebron James. Going the easy route to win a championship.

You meant to say GS initially, right?

I would love Westbrook. I know many on this forum hate him though.

You are right. My mistake in typing too fast without thinking. Westbrook has grown on me. He isn't a long term answer but he does pose some problems for GSW and perhaps Kyrie as well.

If KD chooses GSW, IMHO it puts some stars on certain teams on sale before the 2017 deadline. KD/Curry won't be great forever so a lot of teams would just start focusing 4-5 years from now like Boston did to a certain extent with the PP/KG trade.

Can we get this tweet to blow up please?

He'd look like the ULTIMATE hypocrite to go to GS after tweeting this out after the Heat were formed....
