All West had to bring up was Curry, Thompson & Green. His background with Lakers had nothing to do with this.
With the type of soft team we're building these days it probably makes more sense for us to send in one of our WNBA legends, like Sheryl Swoopes to do the recruiting.
Golly Gee - only a shrewd basketball mind like Jerry West could figure out that joining the reigning MVP and 2 all stars on what was one of the most dominant teams in history is probably easier than teaming up with Enes Kanter and Dion Waters.
Jerry West sent him a post card with a picture of the Golden Gate Bridge, Morey would have sent him a picture of a server farm in Mountain View.
Yes Durant needed Jerry West to tell him Steph Curry, thompson and Green be gooder basketball players and win a many a games. I'm sure Durant did not know Golden State wins many basketball NBA matches.
that's why the rich get richer. and that's why we get injury prone rejects from the Pelicans while GS get the caviar.
Hasn't Hakeem been attending pitch meetings for even players like Bazemore? Are you saying our legend's not good enough?
Our legend decided to put a team of average role players on his back and win back to back championships (ok, above average role players, plus Clyde... but you get the idea!). That ... CLEARLY ... does not appeal to today's players.
I'm sure your "brothers" speech would have sealed the deal, and that KD going to the Warriors had absolutely nothing to do with taking the easiest possible path to a ring. <BR>
