    Why we got to worry bout what other cities do... And Chicago didn't let Jordan go _ he retired didn't he...???

    But it's cool. Good thing we got those draft picks for him to keep our championship tradition going (or at least competing for championships) :rolleyes:

    In 2016 KD is gonna be thinking... do I wanna play with the homie James Harden.. or do I want to go back home? Or should I stay here and be loyal?

    Gonna be hard, ya know?

    Why are you using career stats? Why not last year?

    Does anyone know if we are doing an S&T to complete this, or have we lost the exceptions by just straight up signing him?

    Because we're not getting Ariza's career. We're getting him today.

    They are going to need a Wizard or Bullets to the head to convince Durant to play for them.

    As of now we are using our cap space to sign him outright, no exceptions.

    As far as a S&T that could be possible, if they can make it happen before tomorrow at 10:59PM, but it looks like it is just a straight up signing for now.

    He spent his college year in Tx. Some pro years in Seattle and now is stuck in freakin Oklahoma. Washington has some good young pieces and it's possible he wants to get closer to home. He does like to copy LeBron.

    If we sign him outright, how much money is left to acquire players before (if we do) matching Parsons?

    I don't know what the stats say (I do believe you thought), but I specifically remember reports and interviews discussing how he was "hoping to be able to take his game to the next level". He was definitely "supposed" to be a #1 or #2 option, regardless of what the stats ended up being at the end of the year.

    Remember that Laker game EARLY in the season, when we thought he may actually do it? We were riding him like a 1st options. Didn't last long.

    Or the time he argued with AB at the end of game when AB tried to take it to the rack as time was expiring?

    Durant is going home to play for a pro team in Austin or waiting in Seattle until they put a team there.

    Good solid move by Daryl Morey. I've been his biggest critic. But I respect the minor moves more than the star chasing. Good move

    lol... mistake for the double quote. Was planning on saving that first one for when/if we matched Parsons. :grin:

    Bla bla bla with your stats. Watch them play. Right now Ariza is better than Linn.

    Someone above mentioned that we have around 5 left... but I think we may be using that on Troy Daniels.
