I won't bad mouth KD if he chooses GSW. I really think the whole alpha dog things is ridiculous.

What I will do however is discount any title that he wins next year not necessarily put him ahead of a Karl Malone in the all time player rankings even if he does win a title or two with the Warriors.

I don't care if KD is an alpha dog or not, Boston could seriously use the guy. C's already have players like Smart/Bradley/Crowder that really go after it. KD would be a great fit.

I am interested in winning titles. More often than not it is alpha dogs leading the way. Of course it has to be an alpha with superior talent but still someone that leads.

I hope teams refuse to take on Bogut.

If Ainge would now be constantly calling me I'd rule out the Celtics instantly.

Seems that way. Then again he fits right in with the rest of the nba players.

After last night's Horford "sources saying he's staying in Atlanta" debacle, the more I hear about Durant going elsewhere the better I feel.

There are no real sources just people not named Durant blowing smoke. When Durant makes up his mind the whole world will know about it within 5 minutes.

I think he eliminated the Heat before he even met them and just wanted to see what a Riley pitch meeting was like so he could report back to his friend Lebron.

I just can't believe KD would be dumb enough to go join the Heat. His advisors would have to be telling him not to go there.

Then again, his advisors should be telling him not to go to Golden State as well.....

Yeah I'm sure he'll jump at the opportunity to sign here right after seeing all our fans trash talk him and call him a pussy for considering GSW. :banghead:

Same. I think the alpha dog stuff is silly. I think KD is a beta but with his talent it wouldn't matter.

I would think his advisors would just tell him about the pros and cons of each team and frankly with that I think his only 3 choices are

1) OKC probably on a 1 + 1 deal.
2) GSW
3) BOS
