You know, I'm just now realizing that this is all Harrison Barnes fault for not signing that $64 million deal last year.

Come to boston and be a legend or go ride curry's coattails and be just another guy in GS. It shouldn't be that hard of a decision if you're not a pussy.

If KD goes to Warriors, no respect at all for him anymore. Kinda don't even want him to go to Boston either because a) as long as Lebron is good, he most likely won't beat him and b) it'd be weird for him to leave a team that was just a game away from the Finals

Bird would have won 4 rings with that team, in this weak ass era of basketball.

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:


How many times you think KD has refreshed this thread. He must be going nuts

Not trying to be bias but it would be so great for the NBA if Durant joins the Celtics. Who doesn't want to see Lebron vs KD 4x in the regular season and then in the ECF? Lebron vs Celtics has always been amazing. And then you have Warriors and Spurs on the West so it balances out that there is 2 top teams in each conference.

Draymond Green is pitching him hard, but Draymond thinks the Warriors are out and it is Boston unless Russ sways him to stay in OKC.

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.


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


It maybe silly but there are not too many beta stars leading NBA teams to titles.
