Dis dude

They most likely would do well, but I actually meant replicating the same individual success they've had while with the Warriors. Outside of KD, who of course has a significant sample size on another team, it's reasonable to question.

Coulda sworn they won 73 games and title without KD but my memory is foggy. Steph might have won some MVPs too

 

[BIG FISH]

Spoiler

I dead*** wouldn’t even mind this

 

[Maximus Meridius]

KD definitely should have had the ball. But he doesn't have his priorities straight. He called out Draymond very publicly and let this escalate to the point where management had to pick sides.

If Draymond had looked off Curry. Curry would've laughed it off and just talk to Dray about it in private. Or he may have just left it alone cuz he would've known Dray in his right mind would never try to dribble into 3 guys in June. He'd have been too scared to not give the stars the ball.

How did KD escalate it? We don't know what he said but I doubt he said anything crossing the line to Dray. Steph would let it go and that's the reason why Dray acts a fool, calling dudes b******. Nobody checks him.

I do think it has to be pointed out that they won their lone pre-KD title with the opposing team being decimated by injuries. Injuries are certainly part of the game, but it should be noted.

Bron's boys can have him

 

[noblekane]

Nah KD didn't put on a charade saying he wants to come here only to fall in love with westbrook booty.

[freddy fig]

My point isn't about KD specifically, it's more so about the Warriors' amazing success as a unit. People crapping on Draymond but dude is so important to what they do, you can't just go out and find some dude to come in and replicate. Steph is great, Klay is great, a lot of them are really good. However my point is if they'd be AS great or good without each other. 73 games is a testament to the greatness of a unit, which involves chemistry, talent, and gameplan/system.

He should of went to Portland in the first place. But does not want to live there most of the season haha. He can still play there and get his touches.

They wouldn't be winning titles without kd simple as that.
Really good team still but no titles.

KID is just as much of an *** as Yuckmouth. He seems more passive aggressive about it, I can definitely see him saying something sarcastic about Yuckmouth turning the ball over and in turn Yuckmouth expressed himself in more direct manner.

All of this sounds like everyone outside of KD is tired of this yearly Where is KD is going to sign talk. And Yuckmouth picked the wrong time to express what seems to be the general sentiment surrounding the franchise.

NO huh freddy fig

melo pels jersey would look good wit da 13s

 

[Thats My Word]

Melo just needs to go to the CBA or something, he can get a statue out there.

We don't know what KD said but we do know that KD didn't drop it and it got to the point where Dray got suspended.

You know sensitive kd can't leave anything alone when he feels slighted. Look at twitter.

Letting it go would've been the best thing. Dray is like a troll, you don't feed him, he will go away. Not to say that Dray was trolling intentionally, but it was the closest analogy I could think of.

 

[dhart48]

KD already looks like his feelings are hurt in those pics for some reason.
Dude looks like the loud, always doing the most, always kissing butt second in command to Jimmy, making Deandre Jordan look like the real loyal one.
Which is weird considering the first Mavs situation with Deandre

Really good team still but no titles.

I mean, they still could have beat the Cavs if the Cavs were healthy that first year. Who knows. That team for the 2 pre-KD years was very, very good.

Swapping HB for KD basically made them virtually unbeatable though in a 7 game series.

Part of the game. The only reason people loved to make that notable is due to people thinking it was a fluke the first time around.

 

[tatayniDarna]

forget about KD, what if Draymond asks for a trade or signs with the lakers? isn't him and lebby buddy buddy off the court?

Nah it wasn't a fluke. Mentioned it in a previous post that the pre-KD Warriors certainly could have beat the Cavs if they were healthy in that first Finals. We'll never know. The healthy Cavs did show the following year that they could beat the pre-KD Warriors. That is when the Warriors had to cry out for MOAR HELP to make sure that it wouldn't happen again.

 

[ThePeoplesChamp_]

KD is in a no win situation. He stays and everybody hates him and if he leaves they all come at him for leaving rings on the table
