Durant traded to Houston for Green, Brooks, #10 pick, and multiple 2nd rounders

That's weird.
I'd rather win with anyone.
And if we have someone who doesn't contribute towards winning, I'd rather try and win with someone else!

 

Still can't believe people are hounding this guy! He's a 23yr old, with a pocket full of money, never been in trouble and he's enjoying life.

He was not Jordan or Kobe but he wasn't a bust either.

 

Winning just means way more to me when it’s with a core I watched grow and develop together.
Don’t get me wrong I’d love a Durant championship but it would have meant more to me with the younglings.
Kind of like the 2017 Astros

 

That KD 'mind the game' interview.





Young guys need to work out with KD more and use the summer wisely.

 

No one cares who you win with, as long as you win.

Sentimental value doesnt mean **** to the masses, its only in your head.

If Rockets win. Thats all that matters.

 

KD: "these teams shoots 28% from 3, but they keep shooting more 3"

 

Checked into a hotel today in DC. Started talking hoops with the desk bro.

I told him the Rox was my team.

He said ‘Congratulations’

 

Green aint no winner

 

KD alone will make it so much harder to pack the paint against Alpi and Amen. His man has to stay firmly attached and has to be a guy big enough to contest. It's going to be night and day compared to JG who could be defended by a small backcourt player and (when not smoking hot) could be cheated off of somewhat.

 

Kind I wish that we could’ve kept Brooks, but I know that it was probably necessary to include him.

DFS May just cancel this out. I just don’t know him well enough as a player.

 

He should pick on someone his own size.

 

It is so funny to me how people will find any possible way to spin things negatively.

In this case, we have a team who the national consensus says has had an extremely good offseason and addressed the teams biggest needs.

The fact that you have people on here that, instead of being happy, would rather argue that it is better to lose with Jalen Green (a player who wasn't ever going to win you anything), because you kept the "core" together and it is somehow more pure than going out and spending money on a bona fide superstar....

Shows the power of a negative mindset.

 

I was looking at some things, and some crazy perspective. Durant is currently 8th all time in scoring. Barring injury, he will pass Wilt and Dirk and move into the top 6 this year (he's about 1000 points away -- should take him ~40 games).

He's then about 2000 more points away from passing Kobe and MJ. and then being in the top 4 behind LeBron, Kareem, and Karl Malone.

Wild.

 

Oh boy.

 

Except he DIDN'T play hard until Udoka got here and benched him

 

atp KD will be in the casket about to be laid to rest, someone will call him a snake on Twitter, and he’ll revive just to respond

 

Stone has recovered nicely from busting on his highest pick, trying to sign Oladipo to a sh#t ton of money, and building around KPJ. We’ve come a long way

 

Clutchfans need to show some love for KD and go troll others with him. Show him we are a fam in the H.
