    He should go to Boston if he wants to win.

    Unless LBJ has a serious injury, I don't think Boston is getting past the Cavs.
    Whiteside > Horford.

    Winning what?

    Miami isn't too far away from competing with Boston, AND it's south beach, with no state taxes

    A--Who says he wants to win?
    B--Being "the final piece" to make Boston a contender is a lot of pressure that he may not want
    C--Miami is a destination town; not improbable that Miami is able to add another star to him, Whiteside, and Dragic

    KD took ten mil less then he could have. In most cases I would commend the player for choosing to sacrifice money in the name of winning, in this case he just comes off as a piece of shit to me.

    Gary Harris one of the top SGs in the league? This is news to anyone outside of Denver. Nice young prospect but doubtful he is in the Top-10. Then again, technically, if you are Top-15 you are in the top half which makes you top half and not bottom half.....so I guess there is that.

    Completely agree. There's nothing that he can prove to anyone in Golden State. It "feels" like he's trying to build a legacy there, but that ship has sailed.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    It doesn't feel that way at all, to me. It seems like he likes being there, likes his teammates, likes the organization, likes playing that style and likes winning. To me, it feels like fans are insisting that he's trying to create a legacy and "lol, won't happen." I don't think Durant really cares about much other than being happy playing basketball.

    I actually admire that.

    I don't get the hate on Durant, seems like a good dude. He took an opportunity and showed it by the way he balled out in the finals, grabbing finals mvp, he deserved that after putting up with westbrook all those years. Taking that pay cut shows me he enjoyed his moment, he is loving this, completely different than in OKC and he can actually win titles and have fun playing the game within a good basketball culture in GS

    I always find it funny, when I sign on, and there are like 50-100 new posts in just one thread. Ok, who stirred the pot this time..... Lmao.

    Btw-Welcome @Socnorb11 ! I've spent time on the Nugs forum, and have been lucky enough not to get banned. Yet....

    The Durant contract is commendable. Really.

    Makes Curry look like kind of a douche tbh. As if I didn't already think he was one.
