Think KP still has hard feelings toward Paul? This may make the chances of trading for PG13 go from 0.5% to 0.00000001%.
If Olshey wants PG, he needs to get his supposed agent buddies, and anyone else he knows, to pimp and pump this PG will only sign with the Lakers narrative and drive down his value around the league. If the Blazers could through some miracle add PG to Dame/CJ/Nurk I have a hard time believing he wouldn't stick around rather than go play for the worst Lakers team in .... ever? Paying for the Big 4 though....yeah....
I guess he was so annoying, it felt like multiple people. Unless his alter egos have been saying the same shit.
You have a difficult time separating your opinion from the proof you were allegedly providing that Durant didn't want to play with Westbrook.
I never claimed to prove anything. In fact, I prefaced my previous comments by stating that there was no smoking gun, that no one was going to risk their job by going on record that Durant left OKC because of Westbrook. Did you read the article I linked? Did you do a google search on why did Kevin Durant leave OKC? There are plenty of articles that talk about the clash in styles and goals between KD and Russ, but all of the sources are unnamed. Lots and lots of articles, but no irrefutable proof of anything. All we really know for sure is that Durant left OKC and he wouldn't have left, and left money on the table, if he was happy with the situation there. So, please feel free to ignore everything I wrote. It's evidence, but it's not proof. Can you prove Durant didn't leave OKC because of Westbrook? No, you can't, and I'm not going to ask you to, because it would be pointless. Just as pointless as asking me to prove he did. BNM
SOOOOOOOOOOO glad we didn't pick up Dwight Howard. He was so bad they hardly played him in their season ending loss. Sad.
How many teams in NBA history have had a 2-0 lead in the series and then lost the next 4 to be out of the playoffs?
There have been a few, but the one that immediately springs to mind is the 1977 Philadelphia 76ers. BNM
Off the top of my head... 16 Clippers 77 Sixers 12 Spurs (and Spurs had won 20 straight!) 06 Mavericks in NBA Finals (nearly went up 3-0) 07 Pistons because of LeBron 04 Spurs For more hoop knowledge, go to NBASpeed.com
They always put this one guy with Hubie Brown, he must be the only one who can announce along side him without falling asleep?
Yeah, I really went out on a limb there... Boob-No-More said: They already lost Durant to free agency because of Westbrook. yuyuza1 said: Where is the proof for this? You can just as easily say we lost Aldridge to free agency because of Dame. Man, your level of hatred for Russ is really unfounded. He's a polarizing figure, but he will also win MVP this season. He's not Ricky Davis or Andray Blatche in terms of stat chasers.
Yes, I know exactly what was said and how I responded. I never claimed to PROVE anything. He's the first two sentences of my first post on the topic: Proof, you mean like a smoking gun? Durant isn't stupid enough to publicly say he left OKC because Russ is a selfish ballhog who cares more about his own stats than winning. I offered my opinion and evidence to support that opinion. You disagree. Fine, post your opinion and the evidence that supports it. It won't PROVE anything, or be any more, or less, valid than my opinion, but it might make you feel better. I also posted a link to an article from ESPN titled Saturday Shows Why Kevin Durant Left Russell Westbrook. Notice the title is why Durant left Westbrook, not why Durant left OKC. I did not write the article. Apparently I'm not the only Westbrook "hater". BNM
