Meh, makes it easy to give even less of a fuck about the shit show that the Nba is now. I've never liked the thought of "super teams" but it looks like they'll never stop.

lmao there is more salt here than the Overwatch OT! I love it.
Can't the Cavs trade Love for Westbrook? I think it could happen lol.

That Celtics team only happened by chance. It wasn't the players.
Warrior won't have an adjustment period like Miami. LeBron, Wade and bosh were all ball dominators when they teamed up. LeBron is most effective when he has the ball so you had a period when two other players had to tame their styles in order to fall in line with the best player in Bron.
Durant is a dude who can play off the ball and people begged the dude to shoot more and he was the 1a option on the team. He's goimg to a team that, despite their shooting, had no qualms letting Barnes lift broke ass three after three. They'll be a small adjustment, but KD is gonna slide right in there.

GUYS, GUYS.. ITS THE SAME THING.
Going to a sub 500 team that didn't make the playoffs is the same thing than going to a team you were up on 3-1 that made the finals and won 73 regular season games, oh and that chiped the year before.

American sports fan culture tends to hate superteams. Hence why Yankees, Patriots, Lakers, Cowboys have been hated for so long.
We're socialists with our sports--we love salary caps and parity--but are capitalistic with our economy lol.
They joined a 24 win team, not a 73 win one.

Glove and Mailman were past their primes back then though. They were but a shell of themselves.

KD said he wanted to win a title, immediately. Where else could he have gone to do that?

True...but we'll see how the team and the fans decide. Let's see if the Warriors givaway free KD shoes to courtside ticket holders more often than Curry's next season. Also Nike has the NBA jersey deal starting the 2017-2018 season too, you know they gonna go all-out HAM with the KD branding at GSW by then.

They were still ring chasin' though.

Yep.
This is not a comparable situation. This is three of the top 7 players in the league in their primes.
Staying with OKC, you know the team that was up 3-1 in the conference finals and would have been playing for the chip had Kevin Durant not repeatedly shit the bed in that series?
I guess as the old adage goes: If you can't beat em', join em.
Fuck KD.

Lots of Journeyman players go ring Chasing. Hell The Chief Robert Parish joined the 97 Bulls well past his prime..
just the thought of the immaculate offense upgrading from barnes to durant is almost too much to bear.

Again, what does Miami's record from the season before have to do with anything? The team was literally fantasy rebuilt from scratch.
lol both of them were in the twilight of their careers
Never forget.
I lost some respect for this guy.

Someone (Curry probably) is going to get injured and knocked out of a major part of the next season. Or watch Durant or Green get fucked at the Olympics and struggle next season.

LiL B played the long con he's the mastermind behind all of this. THINK ABOUT IT.
He put a curse on Durant... thus Durant may never win. So Durant thinking the only way to remove the curse is to please LiL B. So Durant must travel to GS to pay his respects for LiL B to drop the curse.All hail the real king!

Well definitely isn't comparable to KG. The Celtics were at the bottom of the pile when he joined.

Lebron is the real point guard on that team anyways. It would work.
Lebron
Westbrook
Irving
JR
Thompson.
They would give the Warriors plenty of trouble.

Don't count on it yet. He hasn't re-signed yet, has he? lolIf you would have told me back in 2014 that bron would be the "hero" again of the league I would have laughed

To all those saying if Durant still has the curse, no. Lil B said if he joined the Warriors he wohld lift it. Now that Durant joined the Warriors, it is lifted. TYBG
Only thing more bitch made I can think of is an NBA superstar insisting that his nickname be "the servant"
...oh
wait
