    Karl Malone wasn't in his prime.

    They will win less games next year gelling all season, then dominate the playoffs. This isn't going to be fun.

    Well this will be a 'fun' year.

    • How far will OKC fall?
    • How soon will Gasol make his decision now?
    • What is the point for the rest of the WC?
    • Who else leaves the GSW to accomodate KD's salary?

    I hope a lot of teams just take off the GS games to rest their players.

    Maybe. We'll see. The Warriors tend to do worse in the playoffs when things slow down, and I can see that continuing.

    Also Durant is going to find that maybe Westbrook wasn't the terrible PG he was made out to be.

    Talking of Westbrook: now Westbrook-watch begins. He's a UFA next Summer, and we've seen that Presti tends to trade early to avoid crises. And the only time he didn't (Durant) it has bitten him in the ass.

    Durant is such a pussy. Can't beat 'em, join 'em.

    Durant in 2010 (I guess things change??): Now everybody wanna play for the heat and the Lakers? Let's go back to being competitive and going at these peoples!

    Remember when a lot of people liked the Warriors? I wonder if they'll miss those days. And they'll get approximately zero sympathy for any injuries.

    The owners will push for a franchise tag and hard cap during the next negotiations. There will be a lockout. Thanks KD!

    Thank LeBron. If the Warriors had won the title this wouldn't've happened.

    Small markets are doomed without a franchise tag.

    This is the kind of crap I really hate. LeBron went to Mami and got his, now Durant goes to the Warriors to get his. Free agency is good for the players but horrible for the smaller market teams, who always lose out.
