I mean if we gonna use logic like that, then at least Durant stacked a team in the Western conference where there's still teams good enough to possibly keep them out of the finals instead of an already ****ty Eastern conference (where they crippled two playoff teams in the process of teaming up) where making the finals every year was pretty much a guarantee.


    Miami was a first round exit team and had only returned Wade and Arroyo from the starting lineup to afford Bron/Bosh. Two years prior they were in the lotto. They were projected to start Arroyo and Joel Anthony, if that compared to what GS has then my vision on talent judgment must be broken.

    GS just made two straight finals rolling through the "loaded" West. The ONLY team that's given them the slightest trouble was OKC, and now that is gone because their best player left to join them.

    When LeBron left for Miami the East didn't appear to be trash. There was still Boston's big 3 that had made two finals, and Dwight and the Magic that had just beaten LeBron and Boston to make the finals the year before.. It was no guarantee they were making it out of East, though one would assume.

    It's already clear that GS is going to make it out of the West. It has already happened twice, predicted to be back next year, and now added the biggest piece with a chance at stopping them to their own team.

    I know with you there will always be the reverse-bias with anything LeBron. But idk how you can sit there and say this is the same situation, it's not anything close other than both teams have 3 top 15ish player.. The rest of the circumstances aren't even remotely similar. I don't have a problem with KD going to GS, but these situations aren't similar at all. Other than the best free agent available left the team that drafted him.

      Warriors won a ring, been to the Finals 2 years in a row, but this really drives home how much the franchise has improved. As someone who sat through the extra lean years with Joe Smith, Donyell Marshall, Adonal Foyle, Erik Dampier, etc, this is nice. People actually want to play for them now.

            Yep same here. I ain't pissed at either one for leaving and forming a super team but the way Lebron did it pissed me off. Also waiting until 8:59 pm EST to announce he was leaving pissed me off.

                      Congrats to you and Solis....heck of a signing I know you guys are excited.

                        I hope OKC gets the 8 seed, and KD has to look into Russ's eyes as Steph drops 3's. I hope he sees that and it breaks him.

                            I think we can rightfully say that the Warriors have a stranglehold on the Western Conference for at least the next 5 years.

                            Not TOTALLY shocking since we've been hearing a permutation of this rumor all throughout the season. I just never thought he'd do it.
