He’s raw out there but it’s great to see him again with a fresh hair cut I just hope over time he becomes a openly biased Knicks Homer on all topics.

Randle wasn't "snubbed." That implies it was close or that he deserved it.

Toronto apparently is going after Ayton. The amount of length that team would have.. insane.

Is it me or is the Spurs tree dominating? Let’s go after execs from the Kings though.

You can only play the teams in front of you.

No championship is diminished because of injuries.

Championships are diminished when the games aren't officiated fairly, which happened on few occasions in NBA history.

Or when KD joins the Warriors to ride Curry's coattails yet steal all the credit.

I wouldn't be surprised if those are the only rings KD ever wins.

Might be.

He led a team to the Finals once with two future MVPs on his team.

That's his lone Finals appearance without Steph.

Steph has reached the Finals 4 times without Durant.

It's not even close who was driving the success of those Warriors teams.

Durant is more of a finisher than an engine. He's great at what he does. But he doesn't elevate his teammates on the same level as LeBron and Curry. Even Tatum's become more of a connector for his team in these playoffs than Durant ever has been.

He is the best finisher. Of course, why that tandem was so dominant. Perfect fit.

In theory he and Kyrie should have had the same synergy. But Kyrie is nuts and has questionable interest in the game at this point. Oh wellsky.

It's strange how they crumbled in the playoffs because they seemed to have a symbiotic relationship on the court every time they played together up until that point. They looked unstoppable at times (see 2-0 lead vs the Bucks, the game in Philly etc.). But that team was broken by the time they made it to the playoffs.

I think both of these guys are finishers, at the end of the day. Kyrie is a great ceiling raiser but he's never really led a team anywhere. Durant can lead a team further than Kyrie but he has never led a team to a championship. Curry is a proper offensive engine.

KD and Kyrie can make each other better, and it seemed good enough to win a championship last year before Kyrie got hurt, but ultimately neither one of these guys is a connector on the court. I don't see any one of them making their teammates better outside of their own bromance.

Accidentally hit send before my edits but that's what I was getting at. Kyrie's mental makeup keeps them from maximizing their potential. Oh wellsky.

Looks like Darvin Ham went out of the way to make sure the Phil Jackson poison wouldn’t affect his locker room

I wanted to trade Randle for Siakam last year at the top and all time low of their respective values and for us to try and sign FVV. People were trashing me for it. Now they are unsurprisingly coming along while we’re still a mess. Their rebuild took … a year of patience and creativity, drafting high and trusting very young players, athletic players.

On our roster we have three such players, but Cam Reddish isn’t being trusted, while Mitch and RJ are doing fine. However the problem is: unlike the Raptors we continue winning meaningless games instead of adding another top 5 pick like Scottie Barnes next to RJ. We’ll be drafting another scrub at 11 and start Dubious Handles at Point-Power Forward. And no, that isn’t a thing.

Lol damn did he kill him

It's disgusting how Durant joined Golden State because he couldn't win on his own, rode Curry's coattails, yet tried to steal all the credit from him - and now doesn't have the decency, humility or grace to even thank him or acknowledge him in any kind of way.

He's repulsive.
