[frshstunna]

[kingfoamnyc]

Stephen A calling this fraudulent

 

[ady2glude707]

And people said there was no probability it would happen LOL RIP league

 

[Tony $now]

That revisionist memory/history is something else man
I don't agree with either decision but these dudes were free agents. They can go wherever they want to. They didn't come to the rockets so I not overly emotional one way or the other

 

[dman14]

what if teams dont trade for bogut???
teams gonna have a lot of leverage


bogut changing his twitter profile

Lebron didnt join the Celtics in their prime. Or the Pistons. Or w.e team was always smacking him.

KD just joined a 73-9 team. A team that just went to back to back Finals. This is completely different.

 

[everysingletime]

All that's left is for Wade to leave the heat

The heat are going to overpay him to stay now.

 

[Cars]

If you don't think Bron was the best player on that Miami team you're playing yourself.

 

[zechs mer keyss]

They cut off the Wimbledon just so Stephen A could go off on the decision.

 

[noblekane]

but no bench

 

[MIKE LOWERY]

Stephen A Smith is a BAN all he doing is yelling and spewing hate.

 

[curtis50cent]

thats not what 90 percent of niketalk said at the time.

always heard it was wades team

lotta hypocrites in here

I always thought it was Lebrons team. DWade was during those years tho.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Who can put together a reasonable package for Westbrook?

 

[Kaleo15]

Can't beat 'em, join 'em

KD legacy just took a major hit

What Legacy... he has no legacy.

After he wins a Championship, then his Legacy will start.

Dudes just acting delusional. Bron's move and KD's move are in completely different atmospheres.

 

[va757va]

After about 10 pages of complaining, not 1 single person in here brought up any basketball reason why he shouldn't..

It's all emotions.. "legacy, beta, this, that"

He went where it made the most sense from a basketball standpoint...just like Jerry West said, he went from working very hard for shots in okc, to just immediately getting easier shots in gsw...

The way that offense runs in gsw kd fits it PERFECTLY...

 

[lynchpin33]

Stephen A is mad because, he is making him and his 20 years or work look bad, and whoever was giving him info steered him all the way to the left.

 

[rolaholic]

Lebron was still the best player in Miami.

thats not what 90 percent of niketalk said at the time.

always heard it was wades team

lotta hypocrites in here

How is this even related though? It was Wades team to start but unquestionably Bron was the best player on the planet. Dudes only see black and white I swear

 

[curtis50cent]

Klay Thompson gonna be the 6th man now.

 

[noblekane]

Just ignoring Klay and Draymond in the comparison?

no but they arent considered superstars like wade and bosh were

 

[Armada]

 

[scott e pimpin]

KD messed me up on this one. His averages will drop, he won't have to work as hard to win, and he may even throw off the balance of the team. You hate to make comparisons to Bron, but Bron's Miami move was a perfect piece to a puzzle. He fit in.....hate it or not it worked. I think it's equally disrespectful to what the Warriors have built. A 73-9 team does not need a top three player when they already have 3 top 15 players and a sick bench. They just need to defend better and KD will not offer elite defense.

If Bron gets one more killer on the Cavs, none of this will matter anyway.

 

[antidope]

Sports fan narratives are crazy.
