everything shaping up for KD...he knows this isn't his team and he's too good of a player to not be considered a franchise piece.

They never did.

They just wanted a monopoly on talent. They weren't trying to go through the trouble of playing against KD.

wow, just checked the box score

Dray = 20 pts, 13 reb, 12 assists

Nobody's going to beat GS if he plays like that

Damn, just saw the score for the Warriors and Blazers game. KD is definitely gone, I just hope he leaves for the Knicks. Draymond and the rest of the Warriors are sending KD a message. KD will probably be back for the finals to get his third MVP trophy, but I have a feeling Curry will not make it easy for him.

Just another reason why I want the Knicks to trade for Anthony Davis if they get KD. KD, AD and Kyrie will make the Knicks the best team in the east and they will eventually win a championship. They will be determine to bring a championship to NYC and secure their place in Knicks history. Unfortunately, we have some Knicks fans who don't understand the importance of proven NBA all star talent and think rookies and sophomores will eventually take the knicks to the promise land; they try to backup their claims with injury excuses and everything else that has nothing to do with winning, proven all star talent. :lol: Moreover, some Knicks fans think it's possible to get AD without giving up their best prospect. Wow, I didn't know the knicks were that talented. :lol: Knicks fans, the Knicks are not getting AD without giving up Mitch and their 2019 first round pick. :roll:

I just hope we can get facilitators and/or Swiss army do it all types ike Draymond Green or Boris Diaw to go with our acquired free agents. I suspect that we'll definitely need that in addition to just raw talent concentrated among 2or 3 players.

According to some Warrior fans, KD doesn’t want to do the dirty work in terms of setting the screens to free up Steph and Klay. These are things that Barnes did but however KD is obviously infinitely the better bail out option when the play breaks down so Warriors still win regardless.
