Imagine watching greatness and the first thread you make is: "Where would you want him to leave to" That's just embarrassing.
this is about basketball loyalty to a franchise...he was loyal to his team..regardless of his politics or whacked out philosophies he was one of the great point guards to play the game..
That was my first thought. Then I thought it might be about KD or LBJ chasing rings. Wrong on both thoughts.
It's odd, in other sports I have other teams that I follow and/or would root for if they're not playing my main team, i.e. MLB Mariners, but then I like seeing the Rays have success. NFL Seahawks, but I like seeing the Jags and Lions have success. I don't have any alternates at all in basketball, it's Portland or nothing. But I guess NY in regards to OP's question? Big market and they've sucked for a long time and are in the other conference. Still would rather him stay here of course, but IF it had to happen... I guess OP's actual question is what team he'd leave for, maybe GS since it's near Oakland?
Don't entertain the OPs question. It's not worth it. But I'm the same way with MLB teams. Im a diehard of the Ms, but I really like the Rays as well. Same with Brewers. NBA? Wouldn't give a fuck, only team I care about is Portland and if they left I'd stop watching the NBA same way I never watch the NFL.
I 100% thought the same and I was excited. I love when they do the number count with the whimsical musical notes for every step.
I promise Adam Morrison with 2 rings is never going to be a first ballot HOFeer with the keys to a city......ever. Nor Gary Payton II
I like his chances of getting it done here as well. He’s really shown the willingness to put trust in the young guys around him imo. I think that as long as he continues to do so, he’s going to be able to ride the bench while competing until he wants to retire. However, that means staying the course and not trading 1sts for guys that aren’t actually stars. I still believe we’ll be a lotto team by the end of the season. As long as we hit on two guys this year and continue to build, he can have a Chris Paul-type of trajectory in terms of career.
Michael Redd, Nick Collison, Mike Conley, Marc Gasol, Russell Westbrook, John Wall, Beal, Lillard. You are correct, a VERY short list
Great pull. And of those, Westbrook, Wall, Gasol, and Conley ended up playing for different teams. And Collison was obviously a role player. We're lucky!
