Damn.
They didn't have anywhere to stay, and with the Fourth of July weekend a hectic time in the Hamptons, lodging was hard to come by. So the Thunder holed up at a Holiday Inn Express, located one mile away from Durant's compound, and waited.
There were only six rooms available for nine people, so they shared. Clay Bennett, a multimillion-dollar owner, in a Holiday Inn Express, sharing a bed. Nothing was open, so they settled on a T.G.I. Friday's for a late dinner.
And then they waited for the inevitable.

I'm not talking about winning titles.Meaningless sentiment.Dwyane, you got 3 rings, man. Just finish your career in Miami so you can say that's who you played for your whole career.
Cats ain't satisfied with Reggie Miller careers. Ask Paul Pierce. Not to mention you can always pull a KG.
Reggie Miller never won a title. Terrible comparison.
So all of y'all are basically saying if you win a ring with a team and that's been your team most of your career you should just stay one that team no matter what and wait for retirement?Reggie has 0 rings. Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett were traded.Meaningless sentiment.

I'm talking about staying on a team your whole career and being loyal.[thread="650415"]Quote:[/thread]

Reggie didn't win though. Boston fans love Paul and KG. Heck Minny will build a KG statue. Staying with your team in bad times definitely means something to fans.
At this point Silver should just do away with the salary cap and go the mlb route....
I'm saying Reggie and Dwyane are two completely different scenarios. Reggie doesn't have a single ring, tough ****. Dwyane has 3 now with Miami. He has nothing left to prove. He's been so loyal to them and his city loves him so much he might as well ride or die with them.I'm not talking about winning titles.
Apparently the only name you read in my post was Reggie Miller.
That reading comprehension

That's what I'm getting from Reggie has no rings constantly being the response.

Dudes ain't satisfied with that.
I ain't talking about rings. If Wade wants to leave he should. Of its to get more rings then so be it.
Shump was such an overpay. They don't need him one bitCavs trying to create cap room for Wade.........
Ethan J. Skolnick
@EthanJSkolnick
@DiegoVill right now, 3.5. but they are trying to create room
bye Shump ????? dwade get 10 mill and a "nice chunk" for a role in Space Jam 2
I think the 3.5 is an exception. They need to trade some players and/or get Lebby to take less than the max deal for one seasonThats all the Cavs have? $3.5M?
They have a long way to go. Wade should say make it happen if you can get me $15M. If not, I'm staying home.

I remember same was said about LeBron even after he went to MIA.I feel like we just placed KD on too high of a pedestal...we expected way too much out of this man. As a Bron fan I viewed KD as the only player that is on Bron's level but now I can't even respect him. If the whole "Eastern conference is weak" narrative rings true why he didn't go to a team in the Eastern conference. Mentally KD is fragile...Im talking butter soft.
The main problem is you want it to be one way but it's not.Meaningless sentiment.

Horrible comparison and examples.
This basketball talk ain't for you brah, CBM and GOT threads are that way
Ingram press conference on TW.
I like this kid. He seems like the real deal.
He's decent defender. I just cringed at how many open looks he clanked. Like, they needed ANYONE to contribute points and RJ of all people was the one that stepped up to do it outside of Lebby and Irvingi like him and his defense, but i couldnt agree with you more sir.
ish is stayin interesting if nothing else
