Hoiberg is going to get fired. Rondo + Butler is a bad combination.

Kevin Durant went to the Warriors. LOL.

This is weak sauce. If you can't beat em, join em?

I hope Lebron crushes them again

That Harden trade will forever haunt Oklahoma. I kept telling people that the Ibaka trade was a bad look. It makes sense on the basketball court but it's not right trade to make when the face of the franchise is a free agent.

It's time to start the Westbrook to BK campaign.

This is so much worse than LeBron going to the Heat. He didn't join a team that has already won a title and 73 games. Yes, he teamed up with stars, but they were still an unknown. GS is not an unknown, they're capable of winning 60-70 games and the title WITHOUT him.

I'm usually not one to hate on guys for their free agency decisions, but this is a soft move at its finest. Can't beat em, join em just got its new poster boy.

This kind of nonsense ruins 29 other teams. (Well 28, we were already doomed)

I lost all respect for KD. He's free to do as he pleases but to me its a cowards way of operating. They had these guys on the ropes and lost, as true competitor would want to BEAT THEM, not join them

the new breed of NBA player lacks courage. Lebron nearly beat GS last year alone and this year he put up three of the greatest finals performances in the league's history to take them down including one of the greatest blocks of all time. He has my respect. KD? Nah. Can't see KD ever manning up like Lebron did vs. Golden State

there needs to be a lock out now and a better way of distributing talent league wide. this is ridiculous, who can compete against that?

Paradise · Post #609 » by **Paradise** » Mon Jul 4, 2016 4:03 pm

I'm a distant fan of Golden State but this looks bad for Durant. He could've atleast waited until next summer. He comes off desperate. He better be prepared for the backlash for the remainder of his career. Not even a return to Oklahoma City will ever look authentic.

Yep and it makes you not want to watch basketball

So I guess ANOTHER Warriors vs Cavs final next season.

Really shaking my head with his decision but whatever, it's his to make in the end.

OKC is in rebuild now and Westbrook is on the block.

Strictly speaking as a Nets fan, I couldn't care less. We're not competing for a title with or without Durant going to the Warriors in the first place.

That's the way I see it. It's not Boston or Miami. By the time our Nets are good enough to tank or land a superstar. Both Cavs and GS will be hitting the wrong side of 30. This is terrible for teams like Memphis, San Antonio, LAC.

Keith Van Horn · Post #615 » by **Keith Van Horn** » Mon Jul 4, 2016 4:17 pm

I don't care. I'm only a fan of the Nets and they're not winning anything big in the next few years.

You expect Griffin, Westbrook, Paul to stay in the West? You're competing against the Warriors AND Spurs? We're going to see these other western conference stars go elsewhere. In the East.

jbeachboy · Post #618 » by **jbeachboy** » Mon Jul 4, 2016 4:19 pm

players will want to come to east and jOIN NETS!

I think players will want to leave the west but getting them to come to BK will be a tough sell. We should really hit that Westbrook campaign hard though.

If I am a max player, and I want to get out of the west and go to a team that can have a chance to go to the finals, the last team I'm looking at is the Nets.
