Just donate them to a homeless guy
 
Giannis could've signed the same contract in the summer. Man, that's a lot of trust to put in Milwaukee.
It's wild when you really think about it. That money wasn't going anywhere.

But I sat here and watched Dirk do the same thing for two decades with way less money on the table, so...

"In my opinion he got the best of 'Bron [in the 2017 Finals], like Kevin was f---in rocking," Green said. "After that, that was kind of that moment of like, damn Kevin should be the best player in the NBA now because of what he just did to LeBron. And it's like, you turn on the TV the next day, and the f---in headline is, 'LeBron James still best player in the world?' You've got Stephen A. [Smith], you've got all these people debating it, and everybody's still saying LeBron James is the best player in the world. That's when I kind of felt like it took a turn. And then we came back for the 2017-18 season, and Kevin just wasn't as happy."
"All of a sudden it was kind of just like, 'F---, why's Steph shooting this shot?' or 'F---, he ain't pass the ball' or 'Why's Klay shooting this shot?' or 'Why he ain't pass the ball?' And I'm just sitting there like, 'Yo, that's the same Klay and Steph I've always played with. Like, they ain't playing no different than they've always played.' And I know those two guys, they're definitely not looking you off. They may not see you, because they've f---ing got tunnel vision at times, which most scorers do have tunnel vision at times, and that's why they're great scorers, but they ain't gonna never just f---ing look you off. I've been playing with them since I came into this league. That ain't who they are."

One year they made kyrie almost impossible to block around the rim. Those who figured it out were impossible to play against. I think it was 2k12 or 13
 
That’s pretty wild since I never thought of that Warriors group as anything other than beautifully unselfish in terms of shot distribution, etc.



Simmons: "My theory -- I'm not sure if I'm right -- but I think he thought when he won the title that first year ... and he really outdueled LeBron -- I think leaving that series, people were like, 'Wow, that guy was just better than LeBron in a Finals,' -- and he thought that was gonna be it: 'KD made the right move.'

"And instead people were like, 'F--k that guy, we're still not giving it to you.' And I could feel it in him in the interviews, this kind of, 'What else do I have to do? I just went toe-to-toe with LeBron James and I won. What else do I have to do?'"

Kerr: "You nailed it. The same reason we got Kevin in the first place was the reason we lost him -- he was restless. His first year with us, he was a sponge and he would ask questions constantly. It's a very different style of play and he was playing with different players. I think he embraced it and he enjoyed it.

"The following year, I felt like Kevin started to drift. My feeling was he started to get restless, like, 'This is all there is? We won the title last year, we're rolling again this year, but whatever it is I'm searching for, I'm still not finding it.'

"We had a really good thing and then you could just feel it start to slip. And I don't know if it was what you mentioned -- Kevin felt like he was now the King of the NBA, but nobody was recognizing him for that. He dominated LeBron in those Finals."

Simmons: "I could feel him -- just in various interactions -- really frustrated with that."

Kerr: "Yeah, yeah."

Simmons: "Almost like, 'I'm just never gonna get the credit for this, and I thought I would, and now I'm not. So now what
?


A lot of this is why KD & Kyrie are really “done” with the media. It’s a bigger machine that they will never be able to win. And they try, (KD especially). But they just aren’t as good as navigating **** like LeBron. He got **** in a choke hold. One day, I hope there is a candid conversation on all of the mix of the last 5 years. Because people think it’s buddy buddy, but it’s a lot more there, thats just left alone.
