you miss the point.. an all time great team like 2015 warriors with 73 wins getting the player of durant capability is ruining the league.. Let me put this in perspective the 1996 Bulls with 72 wins getting Shaq to go to chicago as a free agent instead of LA still wouldn't be as blatant as what Durant did.. That bulls could have said they are looking for the future as rodman was 36 and jordan was 34.. This warriors team have a potential to being the second best dynasty after celtics, they can definitely get four titles in a row, which has only been done and exceeded once.
Exactly, you can youtube steven A calling CP3 the biggest looser of the year as he thought the rockets would actually digress as a team, and not enough ball to go around.. he thought CP3 came thinking he could attract Carmelo and that would give us a slight chance, because apparently big three is the new fashion thing to do.
If we go 16-1 in the playoffs, only losing when our opponent hits a record number of 3 pointers in a game, then we can discuss this.
It's very hard for a pass-first guy to dominate or ruin anything, as you can see by Paul's Herculean efforts in the playoffs, which have all led to disappointment. And if he has ruined the league, he's ours so by all means let him do so. KD did it last year
you can not ruin a league if you trade a borderline all star, an all defensive player, key role young players (sam dekker) and picks for a 32 year old whose best years are behind him.. You can say we may have gotten better part of the deal, but its not like we still have Lou Will and Pat bev as trade bait assets.. We are a pretty depleted team who are basically one injury from being an ordinary team. Everyone was laughing at us, thinking rockets got worst with Chris Paul.. basically two perenial NBA losers teaming up to be the biggest choking team.. at best we were though to be an 8th seed which would get swept by OKC, a team that would win 65+ games.. Westbrook would be the unanimous MVP winner, who would win game 7 in a heroic fashion against warriors down 12 going into the fourth, and making a pull up three point shot which would barely go over the finger tips of an out stretched Kevin Durant... Finally Carmelo would get the revenge against Lebron in the NBA finals getting the finals MVP by putting 35 ppg.. Harden and CP3 would finally go to Chinese Basketball Association in the summer of 2018 and their dream would be finally complete.. This dream is currently in danger..
I still can't believe the absolute peanuts we gave Clippers for CP3. Where are the posters who were crying that Harrell and Dekker were too much and a deal breaker?
I wouldn't call them peanuts.. Harrell is averaging 9 ppg and 4 rebounds in less then 15 minutes, he is an upgrage over tarik black. Bev and Lou Will were traded as well. The assets we traded would put us from a 55 team to barely a 45 win team, adding CP3 is a plus, but we gutted our team quite a bit to get a CP3 who will play at an elite level for three more years.
