    Looks like we're trying to bring back DMo and letting Terrance Jones walk, hopefully we figure out a way to get rid of Corey Brewers contract next

    Word yall letting terrace walk? I think he's a talented player yall failed that ? gushing over james harden kid is multi talented

    Wasnt the Rockets fault hes been regressing, dude cant stay healthy, cant rebound, cant defend and his offense comes and goes.....trust me he had several opportunities to solidify himself here

    The thing about Golden State getting KD and having to resign their players is, they have the bird rights to Curry, Klay and Draymond. They can sign a whole new bench, and then go over the cap to get these guys back for 4/5 years.

    They're in win now mode and all of these guys are at a good age where by the time the contract is up they should have at least 3 more rings.

    That's not how it works.

    The warriors currently are capped out,in order to create cap space this summer to sign durant they would have to non tender barnes,ezeli making them unsrestricted fa's and then renounce the rights to every free agent on the roster which loses their bird rights in case they were gonna be resigned (speights,barbosa) etc cuz they have cap holds.THEN they would have 15 mil in cap space (cuz they still have jason thompson dead money on the books)after losing all of those players which aint enough you need at least 25-30 to sign durant unless he willingly takes a pay cut and with role players about to be getting 16-20 mil a year durant aint getting paid role player dough.Then they would have to trade bogut or igoudoula and have 26 mil in cap space to sign durant.So basically the warriors would be durant,klay,draymond,curry,livingston,igoudoula/bogut,? ,whoever they drafted this year and you have to use the mid level and vet min deals to get a 5 and a bench.That hypothetical team would not be better than the thunder with durant which is what I been saying

    Do research doggie you have no clue what you're talking about.Not surprised who cosigned this ? post either

    You're mixing in the facts--- GS would be the big 4 + Livingston, Iggy, the Vandy Center, +cheap labor- --with your opinion: that squad isn't better than OKC. Then callin yourself knowledgeable when ? dont agree with the opinion part.

    Again, Im taking Curry, Durant, Klay, Draymond, Iggy, Livingston, rook, and scraps over ANY team in the league. ANY. Cavs, SA, OKC, whoever whenever 365/24/7.

    There's only one basketball bruh. Ain't gonna be enough shots to go around without one of them ? feeling out of place. Most likely Klay would be the one.

    They said this with Bron and the Heat.

    Also GS players been recruiting KD all year

    Also allb3 players oddly enough score as quickly and efficiently as any in he league

    Also Curry went from 22ppg to 30ppg. He could go back to 23 ish. KD obviously done scored his whole career, he can' settle' for 23ish. Klay can settle. 17, 18 ish. Where he gon go? He fon demand a trade? No Lol

    Agree to disagree, but im thoroughly confused at the resistance to what that squad would be

    I'm shocked Whiteside isn't even giving the Lakers a chance.

    ESPN throwing clues he's staying in OKC for the money. Homie gotta free them wings.

    ? playing for money moreover building a legacy making the NBA drowsy as ? .

    UHHHHHH ? you act like he staying on a team that isn't a contender

    OKC aint gonna do ? . These ? stay coming in second in the west. 2nd place isnt ? when the trophy is raised. Ask the Utah Jazz of the mid 90's. Playing with RW has hindered KD as well. Word to James Harden. KD needs to be the leader of that team. RW wont let that happen. Its been too many games where Westbrook starts ball hogging instead of dishing it out causing the Thunder to leave. Westbrook can ball his ass off, but his ego is a caner to the Thunder.

    And what did we see emerge with the Heat? It became Bron and Dwade averaging like 18 shots a game, and Bosh only like 13-14 shots per game.

    On GS you got Klay taking 17 per game, Steph taking 20 per game.Green taking 10.... KD taking 20 per game. You got 4 players that need the ball to affect the game, somebody gonna be the odd man out.

    Warriors need to address rebounding not scoring they lost the finals and almost lost to the thunder cuz they struggle to rebound

    1, but... they didn't

    2, GS almost lost to OKC bc of rebounding, but they actually lost the finals bc their current starting SF went 0 for 2016. Made them guardable

    3, If KD leaves okc...Pretty sure GS wont have to wory about OKC's rebounding

    4, Adding a OJ Mayo is addressing scoring. Addign a Jeremy Lin is addressing scoring. Adding Kevin Durant is not simply "addressing scoring "

    Yall aquired alot of new faces in the off season 2 new rookies deng stat etc, him going down doesn't make your team better thats just one less piece you have to figure out to make everybody gel it's like a placebo effect no team gets better after a player like bosh leaves your coach didnt figure a way out for them to gel

    That ? doesn't make any sense at all bosh is a spot up shooter that stretches the floor whiteside explain this ? to me because I ain't getting it yall definitely missed his offense in the playoffs yall would of beat the raptors 4-2 with bosh

    I didn't watch the heat as much as I wanted to seriously explain this to me because every team he goes to is going to match him up with a stretch 4

    I was telling my ? a while back besides okc n Washington, Portland would make most sense for kd, not that he'd go but

    leaving OKC for Washington or Portland would make zero ? sense... and obviously, Durant agrees because neither of these teams were granted meetings.

    B4 that trade it wouldn't have been that bad of an idea
