    The NBA would give KD so much help from the refs and such for going to the east. NBA tv ratings are hurting since the east doesn't have many marketable superstars since Lebron left. Once the west coast games come on half the country is already asleep.

    To address your last point, it seems that Adam Silver is considering moving the West Coast games an hour earlier to accomodate East Coast viewers.

    I think KD is going to New York. I hope he does.

    I want a team to sign KD, Lebron, Westbrook, Hardin and K Leonard. That would be some entertaining disfunction.

    I could see Kawhi and Durant both going to the Clippers, though I expect Durant is more likely to go to NY.

    I’d say it’s 40% Knicks, 30% Warriors, 20% Clippers and 10% field (I can’t even think of one other team that could get him, maybe Nets).

    Kawhi is I think 50% Clippers, 45% Raptors and 5% field.

    I hope the Warriors win first 3 games of the finals without him, he comes back and then lose 4.

    Ok, not super likely. But I've been happy to see that team win 27 of 28 without him . His punk ass can go fail in NY next year!

    Where one of the top 2-3 basketball players in the world goes, will effect the Blazers though wont it? It could make GS worse, it could make another "rival" better, it could make it so we only play him 2x a year instead of 3 or 4, which may also make getting to the Playoffs easier.

    Ughhhh, the Nike KD shoes are the only basketball ones that fit my feet and don't give me issues. It pisses me off that I have to buy a shoe with his initials on it.
