    Our only power is our wallet.
    Nothing else we say or think or write matters to the NBA at all. We are only dollars and euros.

    If you don't like what is happening then
    don't buy leaguepass.
    Don't buy KD's and Curry's shoes.
    Don't watch the league.
    Don't buy tickets to the game.
    Only then they will care.

    The NBA deleted a whole team with a huge fanbase because of $. That's all they care about. GSW makes money so for them everything is perfect. There are many analysts who even say left and right that GSW is great for the league.

    Can we boycott Google/Apple?

    You’re rooting for an arbitrary based on a city you or your family was born in. Guess what, hardly anyone desire to be here on personnel choice, or even majority of US cities for that matter. There’s no glamor, or brand to be built in Houston.

    Ballers are still employees, and they can choose to work for and with whoever. Pickup a different hobby, or root for a sport that has a wider roster than just 6-7 players deep.

    I've been boycotting since the worriers get away with all the moving screens and taking hardens landing space the last series. This siging makes Pro Wrestling have more parity than the NBA and one of them is scripted. The other is Pro Wrestling.

    So when Boston trades their #4 1st round draft picks next year for Anthony Davis we going to boycott them also? They've got all kyrie Irving, Gordon Hayward and Al Horford and future all star Tatum already. Rockets needed to be better at signing deals, building assets, developing players etc. Smart teams feast on the dumber teams these days. Rockets just didn't do enough, just how it goes sometime. So you either get smarter at those things or hire someone who can do them.

    The NBA is operating as an entertainment business.
    We also operate like disgruntled customers. We don't like the product and as you said we won't watch or spend.
    Guess who will lose money? The entertainers aka the players.

    Boston doesn't even have a single top 15 player. And you compare them with GSW with 5 all nbaers, and two mvps? LOL

    I’m fine if Boston does that, because it’s somewhat of a level playing field, plus they wouldn’t be as stacked as warriors even then.

    Kyrie is the only tier 1 Star, everyone else is no where close to warriors stars except “if” they got Anthony

    At this point I hope Celtics do to take down these fake champs and that may not even be enough

    Final straw would be Capela leaving for the veteran's minimum...

    I'm predicting the Warriors will sell out damn near every arena they play in and the Lakers vs warriors matchup will have incredible ratings.

    Well they drafted Steph, Klay,and Dray outside the top 8. Who have drafted besides Capela who's even on the roster?

    I can live with who they drafted, that’s fair, they were winning rings and made the best nba record in history but to add stars searching for rings is stupid and unnessecarey

    We would do the exact same thing if we could it's called being smart. A team has two goals win rings and make money

    Okay..... still doesn’t excuse them for signing Durant or cousins

    I guess you’d be fine if next year Lakers get kawhia, Butler and Anthony?.

    If you like 1 team leagues then be my guest

    Not everyone is like you who only likes dynasties and bandwagons to whoever wins.
    Being a so called crybaby is his right as a paying customer. The product SUCKS ASS and he won't be paying anymore.

    Guess where the dynasties that you like make their money from? The "crybabies". Or you think that dunking the ball in a basket is some kind of great contribution to society?
    It's because of ppl like you that there's no parity. Congratulations!

    That’s different. Boston would have to trade for these stars and give up assets. I don’t hate Boston for fleecing the nets and making smart moves to rebuild quickly.

    The warriors are just signing players and giving up nothing. Just keep adding to the most stacked team of all time. If the Warriors actually traded for KD or Boogie, they would be out at least Klay and Draymond.

    I dont get all the uproar - we are still one Curry or Durant ankle turn away from a title and believe me those assholes are due. Payback is a b****.
