2016 Official NBA Off-Season Thread: Former Greatness

[everysingletime]

Quick, Knicks. Pick up the phone and call the warriors bench. I'd be picking up Warriors bench players like sushi at an all you can eat.

In fact, it's not just the Knicks that smell the blood.

Probably will be a free for all for their bench.

You guys killing the word BETA.

That word is so played out. You a beta for using it.

 

[frink85]

We got shafted by basketball reasons and then 4 years later superteams all over the place the top 10 players on 3 teams

Lockout is sorely needed

 

[aepps20]

Can't knock him for a tweet 7 years back but man... what a crazy move.

 

[slick vitale]

One other thing i love is how all the dudes in here that was on that "he's only posturing, theres no chance, you guys are are stupid for thinking he's leaving, theres a 100% he stays" look like complete idiots right now.

 

[SadBoi]

[bronconation24]

What the hell happened to the thirst for competition?

I already knew KD was a sucka, but I didn't think beta-man would ever stoop to this...

And the fact that the warriors would even be open to this???

They all certified suckas.



NBA is washed

Please tell me you're being sarcastic. Why would the warriors not be open to this lmao?

 

[cpf262]

[Kaleo15]

More Chokers in GSW?

People quickly forgot LeBron pulled that stunt to get Green suspended.


Green plays, the series would've been over in 5. Now people quickly trying to turn tables.

If If If If 

No Ifs.... momentum was GSW favor. They would've closed on their home court.

This has been by far the most challenging few weeks in my professional life. I understood cognitively that I was facing a crossroads in my evolution as a player and as a man, and that it came with exceptionally difficult choices. What I didn’t truly understand, however, was the range of emotions I would feel during this process.

The primary mandate I had for myself in making this decision was to have it based on the potential for my growth as a player — as that has always steered me in the right direction. But I am also at a point in my life where it is of equal importance to find an opportunity that encourages my evolution as a man: moving out of my comfort zone to a new city and community which offers the greatest potential for my contribution and personal growth. With this in mind, I have decided that I am going to join the Golden State Warriors.

I’m from Washington, D.C. originally, but Oklahoma City truly raised me. It taught me so much about family as well as what it means to be a man. There are no words to express what the organization and the community mean to me, and what they will represent in my life and in my heart forever. The memories and friendships are something that go far beyond the game. Those invaluable relationships are what made this deliberation so challenging.

It really pains me to know that I will disappoint so many people with this choice, but I believe I am doing what I feel is the right thing at this point in my life and my playing career.

I will miss Oklahoma City, and the role I have had in building this remarkable team. I will forever cherish the relationships within the organization — the friends and teammates that I went to war with on the court for nine years, and all the fans and people of the community. They have always had my back unconditionally, and I cannot be more grateful for what they have meant to my family and to me.

Everybody that hyped up the decision better not say shot about this. Lebron started this trend. I hope rw goes to San Antonio next year

This is nowhere near the same thing for many different reasons

 

[jthagreat]

KD no better than Lebron going to the heat.
