    I think he will be traded then, and no unless he will agree to an extension I don't want the Rockets to trade for him.

    Only team that has a chance against the Dubs is the Spurs. They have a great coach and the only way to beat this Dubs team is to bang inside, take advantage of GSW lack of bigs and with LMA and Gasol they have two of the best low post players who can also step out for the J.

    I don't think any other teams stands a chance. Well CLE because LeBron is LeBron

    LOL reading your meltdown has to be the highlight of this thread. From 'ANYONE BUT BOSTON' to this epic, multi-post meltdown... ahhh so sweet.

    KD leaving OKC couldn't have happened to a better organization. Clay Bennett is the same guy that promised Seattle the Sonics would never leave by giving his "word."

    Doesn't guarantee the Warriors a championship by any means. We all remember what happened the first year in Miami. Conversely, there is the example of Boston in 2008. GSW still needs to shore up their roster with a big (maybe David Lee), try to bring back James Michael McAdoo, and hope Damian James and Patrick McCaw can contribute. KD replacing Barnes is actually a good fit for the Warriors as well, because he can play the 3 and move over to the stretch 4 with their so-called death lineup and helps with rebounding, which people are overlooking. GSW's perimeter defense should be good, but interior defense is going to be an issue. They can still outscore their opponent though. This should be fun.

    Bless up!

    Never understood people getting worked up about other people's life choices. Great for him on his decision and wish him the best.

    Thought DeAndre Jordan did that the last time to the Mavericks.

    The Thunder would have won at least a title without either the Spurs and Duncan or Lebron

    They were this close but it is not like Lebron or half of San Antonio's were going away in the past.

    And as the Thunder waited, GSW rose up..... so this has been a very tragic NBA postseason career for Durant.

    The Spurs don't stand a chance either dude. Like--not even a 1% chance. That's how low their odds are against GSW. They couldn't even beat Durant without a 73-win team behind him. Pau is old and doesn't really move the needle by replacing Duncan.

    Well, the point is that it is about matchups. The spurs would have ousted the cavs in 5 games. What they truly lacked was OKC's biggest strength. It would be naive to say at this point where they stand, but I'd venture that if any team can take them out its SA.

    The NBA regular season was already meaningless already.

    Its even more meaningless now.

    Not excited about next season at all. Rockets won't be very good. Just wake me up when the finals start.

    Player option in 2nd year? Would be interesting to see how KD play in their offense, or if that will change dramatically to fit him in. If ego show up, might be great

    That would be pretty epic. But not as epic as, say, Hakeem and Cynthia Cooper.
