NBA FINALS THREAD - RAPTORS DEFY GRAVITY

superblytrife · Jun 16, 2019

@ trying to draw comparisons between AD and KD. Two entirely different scenarios.

One guy joined the squad that snatched his soul when his team was up 3-1 in the WCF. He joined a team that went 73-9 the year prior.

The other guy just wanted a change of scenery after languishing on a mediocre team his entire pro career. He joined a team that didn’t even make the playoffs.

Huuuuuuge difference. :lol

So is AD a snake for forcing his way out of New Orleans or is that only for Kevin Durant?

What’s the phrase I’m looking for? Keep the Same Energy?

You can't be serious right?

Where the Pelicans were going if AD stayed (before getting the #1 pick) and where OKC were going if KD had stayed could not be further apart in terms of similarity. The fact that we should be bashing AD for wanting to actually not waste away his career in a organisation that was constantly going nowhere is ridiculous.

So forcing your way out is better than leaving in Free agency? :lol

it’s funny how people make excuses for toxic behavior

“He joined a 73-9 team, after being up 3-1”

:rofl:

it’s the same reply every time.

Bron trying to create another super team. He’s what’s wrong with the nba. Always has to try and stack the deck. GSW building their core through the draft and then added KD when he was available. It’s comical at the excuses.

Nobody keeps the same energy on here. Shocking.

You’re not getting it.

You’re looking it as a concept of team and organization, but what you failed to scope in on is the most important ingredient, the player.

The player, we’re talking about. Not the team, the player.

Got to keep moving them goal post. He forced his way out to be with lebron. That’s snake behavior. Keep that same energy.

if you think AD going to the Lakers via trade is the same thing as KD signing with the Warriors, then you're just not very smart at all.

Lakers were a lottery team not the same as a 73 win team with a double digit point differential
