Funny how successful Toronto has been, multiple consecutive 50+, 60+ win seasons and no one give Kawhi and Gasol grief for escaping the west and pushing for a trade to the top team in the East. He did even worse than what KD did, he abandoded his team that had just got beat by warriors, but made it close and forced a trade out of the West to escape them until Finals.
If the Warriors lose and Toronto signs the claw, it seems an equally snaky move to form a superteam to me.
While my opinion both players are just doing the modern NBA thing, it is actually funny how he gets such a free pass after forcing his way onto the top team. Gasol, another all star, followed. While backdoor trades, still building the best team possible by signing multiple all stars to a core of home build guys.
This can't be a serious take, please tell me it isn't and that I can laugh at myself for taking the trollbait...
For reference, it's the same user who attacked someone else out of the blue in this way...Spoiler:
PizzaSteve, on top of the horrific personal attacks, now you decide to (at best) troll. Whether you are doing this intentionally or not, it's irrelevant. If you continue to make posts that will obviously bring the topic down and ruin the experience for others, you will be suspended from the General Board.
This is not a horrific personal attack.
A poster accused an NBA star of intentionally injuring others and I called him out for it.
If that kind of fan is what this site represents, feel free to impose a penalty for my account and reward the fan who is so caught up in rooting for their team that they accuse opposing players of intentionally harming others, or are so sensitive that they cant compare the process that led to the signing of their (soon to be) rental premier FA star to a process of signing another premier FA star.
If the need to slant to the extreme is what is desired, feel free to perma ban me.
The use of `horrific attack` to describe what i posted just shows how needy this person is to justify their actions. Any worker who attacked a coworker with intent to injure in any work environment, including sports, would be immediately fired with investigation and charges filed. To suggest otherwise is preposterus fan hatred driven drivel.
Yes the kawhi comparison was tongue in cheek. But it is meant to point out the hypocracy of calling a free agent signing with the best team some sort of crime and deserving of years of name calling by fans annoyed he wasnt traded to or signing with their team. If KD signed at Toronto he would be the city hero.
Both of my positions are perfectly reasonable to have. Calling me a troll is a personal attack, BTW. Not that i care.
