Since competition in the NBA is such a farce I look forward to LeBron opting out to join the Warriors this off season so they can reel off 10 or so in a row and we can let this ring discussion go.
Might as well go all out and really stomp out any competition.
Maybe they can all take the league minimum so they can have 12 all-stars on their roster.
They can go 98-0.
It would be something Lebron would do. Gotta applaud guys like Steph, Draymond, and Klay for sticking it out with a team and building a champion. Rather than humiliating your hometown and the team that drafted you by running off to join a proven champion, and then seeing Wade decline, running back to a younger superstar and hitching your wagon to him.
Where is your applause for Durant?
Not only the one superstar though. He pushed and got Love. Love was one of the hottest FAs for that year and a legit superstar. He has to play third fiddle now but has lit Boston the fuck up. It's hard when both LBJ and Kyrie need their shots but that team has been loaded since it first hit the court. The only difference is that GS built their team from the ground up and Cleveland hired out for most of the elite talent. Sour grapes from pussies who only think Lebron is allowed to build super teams.
Cleveland drafted 3 of their big 4 and traded Wiggins for Love.
Irving - drafted
LeBron - drafted
Thompson - drafted
Love - trade
Not to mention Cleveland is the ONLY place Love wanted to play. Hard to pin that on LeBron.
No one is giving Durant a pass. People just screw up their faces in a "huh?" look when Cavs fans start trying to make Durant out to be worse than Lebron. It's laughable.
Edit: "worse" in the sense that it was a worse move on his part leaving OKC versus Lebron leaving Cleveland.
It was worse because he went to the team that beat him, a 73 win team who had been to back to back finals.
Exactly. That's all I've cared about. Proving the hypocrisy because they all do it. I wanted LBJ to win last year. Cleveland needed a championship in the worst way. I don't think they would have gotten one without him so congrats to him and them. LBJ will never be MJ's equal so he can have at it while the Warriors build another minor dynasty. Rings...that's all that will matter a decade from now. RINGS, baby!
With the way this postseason has gone I wouldn't be surprised if Klay ends up being trade bait. Keep Durant and Steph. Would be sad to see Klay go, but he's been a non-factor for the most part.
