Is Golden State losing anybody worthwhile going into next season? If not, holy moly what a team.

Harrison Barnes is going to be leaving.

 

[Haloid1177]

What happens when San Antonio beats them in the WCF.

 

[bionic77]

That's weak KD.

OKC had a legit chance to win it all next year. If you were going to leave that to come to Cali custom dictates you at least go to the Lakers.

 

[DietRob]

literally everywhere

It popped up on my Sportsnet app.

Yea I'm seeing it being reported now along with KD bubbye note. I don't get why he wouldn't stay in OKC one more year considering how close they were to the finals. Also considering the fact he can get even more in salary when the new CBA contact goes through at the end of 2017 season.

 

[Lashley]

Someone translate it to football/soccer language please.

Messi signed for Real Madrid

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Someone translate it to football/soccer language please.

Messi going to RM to join Ronaldo.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Harrison Barnes is going to be leaving.

He said worthwhile.

 

[FallingEdge]

Can't wait to see the new heights this team reaches. It's going to be unprecedented.

the troll is back

 

[Colonel Nasty]

Someone translate it to football/soccer language please.

Barcelona losing the champions league then getting Ronaldo

 

[Spinluck]

If Lebron beats them he's GOAT.

 

[GravityInsanity]

"We both villains now."

 

[Lebron]

lol this shit ain't going to work.

 

[SCChappy]

I don't care about the whole narrative bullshit but this is objectively way worse than LeBron joining the Heat in 2010

 

[infiniteloop]

Someone translate it to football/soccer language please.

If Ronald Flapington left Scunthorpe Pasties to play for Manchester Reds FC

 

[Soapbox Killer]

Seems like a lame move. Should have stayed or went somewhere else it's like some sort of Sports Stockholm Syndrome 73-9 and then they sign KD? what the hell . As a Sixers fan, this means nothing but it just corny for the league.

 

[EPaul]

Wow this is hilarious lololol

 

[FTF]

lol he's going to get called out on this for a while.

 

[Colonel Nasty]

Such a cop out, I'll never take him seriously as a competitor. OKC was one a couple minutes away from beating this team.

 

[True Savior]

Someone translate it to football/soccer language please.

Ronaldo to Barcelona. (without the rivalry between barcelona and real...just the quality of the player and the team)

 

[ryseing]

Dude. You could probably say 4 of the best 15.

I refuse to acknowledge Dray as a top 15 player out of personal saltiness.

Yea I'm seeing it being reported now along with KD bubbye note. I don't get why he wouldn't stay in OKC one more year considering how close they were to the finals. Also considering the fact he can get even more in salary when the new CBA contact goes through at the end of 2017 season.

He went the Bron route. He can opt out next year for more cash.

 

[Stat Flow]

Lol at people hating on this. Once the rings start flowing, no one will give a shit.

Embrace the hatred.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

lol this shit ain't going to work.

I'm sure you wouldn't have thought otherwise, Lebron.

 

[Kusagari]

This actually is legacy destroying.

Unlike with Lebron, who unquestionably was the best player on the Heat, Durant ran off to a team, that was basically already a super team with Curry Klay and Green, with a better player.

 

[SCChappy]

I mean jesus, going to join the team you choked against in the WCF. Come on KD you're a Longhorn don't do this to me man

 

[Discotheque]

Does the lil b curse no longer stick to him now that he's moving to Cali?

 

[Cipherr]

KD wants a chip baby.

The fucking floor spacing by this GSW team is going to be fucking Legendary

 

[Sanjuro]

Lol at people hating on this. Once the rings start flowing, no one will give a shit.

Embrace the hatred.

Maybe he and LeBron can be suspended for the season due to PED use.

 

[Kuroyume]

Dirk needs to get out of the West NOW

 

[Big Baybee]

Smh. I hate this, man. Guess if they lose it'll be amazing, like when the Heat lost to the Mavs.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

The pressure for the warriors to win now will be astronomical

 

[geestack]

lol

 

[Panda Rin]

I don't see how Durant/Thompson/Curry meld well together. 80% of their shots will be threes at this point.

Would have rather seen him in Boston. Seeing what Stevens could do with them would have been interesting.

 

[The Elite]

I like it when a past version of someone calls out their future self on their own bullshit.

Gets me every time.

 

[friskykillface]

Warriors should get Dirk too

 

[Lebron]

I'm sure you wouldn't have thought otherwise, Lebron.

Don't ever waste my time quoting me again.


Thanks

 

[Mortimer Brewster]

Is Golden State losing anybody worthwhile going into next season? If not, holy moly what a team.

Barnes and all its depth will be gone. They will get a few ring chasing vets who will go for the roster filling exemption. The starting 5 will be deadly as fuck though. What happens to the Thunder now will be interesting, I say they blow it up.

 

[Apath]

Probably the smartest move if he cares about winning. Doesn't make him any less a coward.

This is pretty fucking dumb though. 73-9 team gets a top 3 player? Now watch other huge free agents sign there on a vet minimum.

 

[Maxim726X]

This is why the NBA is fucked.

Like, why bother with a regular season?

Just have the Cavs play the Warriors in a few months, call it a year.

 

[Zee-Row]

I expect lots of OKC Jersey burning.

[Vire]

Smfh.

 

[DragonKnight]

Such a cop out, I'll never take him seriously as a competitor. OKC was one a couple minutes away from beating this team.

Yeah. Switching to the team that just beat you a season prior? Damn, KD. Im all for winning championships but at what cost? Even if GS does win this season, for me that championship would have a big ass asterisk next to it. This team is now more stacked than the Heat.

 

[theWB27]

I'm not even mad at KD. He's trading individual stats to chase a ring. Maybe because I'm a laker fan and I know my team is a good 5 years from being anything worthwhile. Unless the young guys take massive leaps.

Gonna be fun reading all the tears though : )

 

[MechDX]

Not a huge NBA fan but this is just straight up laughable. How you going to have a competitive league when your stars just meet up in different cities to "win rings"?

 

[outsida]

I blame Lebron

 

[Anth0ny]

82-0

Then lebron wins in the finals

 

[xxracerxx]

Jesus

 

[TraBuch]

Harrison Barnes is going to be leaving.

He said worthwhile.

 

[SCChappy]

Let's not have hot takes and dumbass meltdowns when the season begins and they inevitably struggle for a bit, please.

Spoiler

we totally will and I'm looking forward to it
