Just saw this and all I can say is, ****, are you kidding me? Talk about going to extremes to get a ring. I hope you fail in your quest, Oklahoma refugee. May you suck for two years, and I don't care why.
But how could you justify only giving some of the teams a cap increase? If we didn't see it the players would just have another lock out. Its a very tough situation honestly.

Lame. Pretty beta move to fail to win a title as a top three player in the league and remedy that by joining a 73-win team. Sometimes these superteams are less powerful than they seem on paper. My guess is that this is NOT one of those times. They're going to win 70+ again.
The new cap indeed allows a team to field a "big 4". Next CBA, it would likely allow for a true dream team. Lol
I don't think this will be as smooth as everyone thinks. The Warriors are already championship built, they needed interior bigs to round themselves back out. Guess what, Tristan Thompson will still kill them. Secondly, one of these new big four will have to sacrifice their game, numbers and everything else. Durant has been used to being able to have a primary role in the offense, I don't think he's giving that up. I think this is two things. First, getting away from Westbrook. OKC went up 3-1 on the Warriors because of the relentless attack that Westbrook gave them. You got to believe that if anyone is salty, it's him. He carried that team for almost two seasons because of Durant's foot issue's, and after one full season of being back, beating San Antonio, one game from defeating the Warriors and he bolts. During a game against San Antonio Durant was getting frustrated because he wasn't getting the ball enough when Westbrook was killing it. Durant wasn't hitting his shots, but got mad because he didn't get his. How long do you think he'll be willing to sacrifice his game, and make no mistake, he will have to sacrifice his game. Which brings me to point number two. He took a one and one. This is a test run to see how it works out. He didn't commit long term for a reason. Money and the fact that he can go to a new team if it doesn't work out this next year. Just because they have that much talent doesn't guarantee anything. Lakers had Kobe and Shaq, the glove, Malone, and everyone kept saying the same thing we are saying about the Warriors now. They lost, so don't go sizing their rings just yet.
we have to separate harden the person and harden the basketball player when we assume other players like harden. They might love to hangout with him at the club, but it's completely different wanting to play with him on the court.
It really is and it is NOTHING compared to Lebron. Lebron was more like a KG situation. Where he had to question if he should be loyal to a team that was content with having him carry for the rest of his career so the owner can sit back and enjoy the fruits of his superstardom. Lebron went to an okay team. Durant is joining a team that choked away a finals victory.

Meh I don't blame him, it's obvious to me that Durant is no Lebron, or Bird, or Kobe etc. He seemed like a person that's pretty good but never wanted to lead, that's fine imo.
We'll, they should make the finals. They are a powerhouse. However, they have shown weakness and Kevin Durant has shown the exact same weakness that Curry has. So there's a chance. C'mon LeBron, stop this nonsense. I don't really care that he did it. It's been done before. The Rockets did it. But I'm not rooting for this to work. I want it to fail.
This is the equivalent of if the US and China decided to partner up and raise prices on everything and start annihilating smaller countries and stealing all of their natural resources
yes. lebron needs to go to ny with drose n dwade n melo n proigazis lol. my take the nba is finna be like the mlb. if by star break u aint traded all ur players for draft picks if u aint got 3 stars u a dumb gm. my only hope is u gonna see a trafing frenzy now to construct like five Super teams
