And Russ took it all on the chin without flinching. He didn't care about taking the blame, he was hooping with his 'brother'

KD a snake for real :lol:

And Russ could have aired dude out the million times he got asked about it after KD left, but dude took the high road

Meanwhile KD creating burners to address shh with randoms on the internet

I mean I could have even understood if Russ just said “well I thought more of our friendship, that he’d give me a quick text or something” but dude just wouldn’t address it
 
Horrid how?

They did nothing with that cap besides overpay role players who are relatively older & still didn’t improve to the point there even a guaranteed playoff squad... if your goal is to cap out a team who’s best pieces are young guys on rookie deals then they did Spectacular
 
:lol:...what if I told you the Lakers will be the ones fighting for that 6th-8th spot....

Whole new roster turnover. If Kawhi doesn’t come...y’all filling up those heavy minute spots with rotational guys (and the best ones are flying off the market). Need time to gel. Growing pains....a 35 year old Bron in year 17...and a western conference schedule....

This ain’t fantasy basketball.

This...I can’t remember a time where the fate of a franchise relied so much on one player. If Lakers get Kawhi, they’re the runaway favorites for the title. If Board Man doesn’t come, Unibrow and Bron fighting DAL, SAC, etc for the 6-8 seed
 
I've been saying this. The Warriors made a knee-jerk trade in order to salvage Durant leaving. A lot of casual fans are saying the Warriors won because they grabbed another All-Star but overall it's a net negative on the team. For this Warriors team, Looney, Iggy, Cook >>> D'lo. Not to mention giving up 2 first rounders just to create space and faciliate the trade. They better get a haul for him when/if they trade him


Was cook really giving them more than shabazz will? They can find a decent replacement for Looney with the minimum.
 
I mean KD was never going to retire a warrior anyway, why couldn’t he have just decided he wanted to play for the nets instead of the warriors?

What if it’s that simple and not some I wasn’t appreciated by warrior fans and writers ****?

He referred to GSW as a chapter in his book and the dubs were already 5 chip runs deep, how many dynasties last longer than that? They were old and falling apart, capped out, I mean I could see KD looking at that and thinking it’s time to move on
KD tear his achilles to make his legacy better

:rofl::rofl::rofl:
 
It is fake love lol. I’m not saying fans didn’t like him / love him. I’m just saying if bruh never returned from his injury for those 12 minutes ALOT more GS fans would be on his neck and feel some type of way about him leaving.

It’s easy for 99% of the fan base to show love after he tears his Achilles for you. I’m saying there would’ve been a lot more hate if he never came back and just bounced to BK.

I’m not speaking in absolutes. Like I never said the entire fan base hates or would hate dude.
i agree with this 100%. the optics of him returning changed the narrative. If he had not come back, dudes would been savage. Saying he wasnt really hurt and just checked out and was planning his exit since thanksgiving and he tried to smash Sonya and all types of crazy ish

Their best players are still on rookie deals. The Barnes contract wasn’t great but they got better. They need the youngins to take take next step more than a FA.
 
Bet 200 right now then that we'll be higher than the 6-8 seed. If not zip it moe.

:emoji_rolling_eyes:

Only thing that matters to me is the Nuggets having a better record than that phony franchise. I’m taking BIG LEEMELONE BIG LEEMELONE money on that in line 10 months.

Was nice getting change from @Maximus Meridius on that bet this year :pimp:.

Rey strike you boys again

For all this fake deep mystical mumbo jumbo KD and Kyrie be on, they still aint figured out that happiness and fulfillment comes from within.

Fake Buddha's dawg.
feel like kyrie at least is on the right path. durant's a mess. he seems to have little sense of self and always trying to make up for it in other ways, namely trying to get in others' good graces and seeking their approval when it's safe to do so while overcompensating when people call him out on it
 
Wild I forgot being hard capped will mean Looney, Cook, Boogie etc all are gone in addition to losing Iggy. Seriously don't understand what they were thinking.

I think it was a panic move. They didn't want to lose KD for nothing so they made the trade for D'lo. Honestly, I like D'lo, I just don't think he's the best fit the Warriors. He's a poor defender and he's a high volume scorer who's just gonna take shots away from Curry and Thompson (if he's still on the roster when Klay gets back)
 
So let me get this straight we have 2 of the top 6 players in the league & we’ll be fighting to make the playoffs...I already know how the narrative will break if we don’t get Kawhi
 
Can any Knicks fan explain to me why they didn’t offer KD the max?

don ramon don ramon @nickmaz96 @harlemtothebronx

cause he's damaged. people are all like "well, still it's KD," but what if he suffers another injury leaving the knicks paying him for the rest of his injured career? the reward is there, but it's also too much of a risk for a team really trying their best to get it together for the long run. he preferred to follow kyrie and join the nets. good for them
 
Was cook really giving them more than shabazz will? They can find a decent replacement for Looney with the minimum.
Its funny, before this trade it was alot of "GS needs to do something with the bench" "LOL Boogie !" and "Iggy is washed"...now that they trying new cats off the bench and letting Iggy go they acting like the dudes they not bringing back irreplaceable all of a sudden :lol:

Ppl should just admit that they expected the Warriors not to do anything this summer but now they feel some type of way that they still found a way to make something shake
