re: 2016 NBA Offseason Thread

I meant additions like Zaza. I get it, they are sacrificing to take less money to pursue a title, which is admirable... but from a fan who could give 2 ****s about millionaires sacrificing millions, I'd rather not see stacked teams get even more quality players on the cheap.

But you'd have less problem if stacked teams paid through the nose to get even more quality players?

He's just gonna tell you Pop was looking out for the man, trying to get him fit.

On the flip side, if GS can't get this done with Durant. It will look like one of the biggest choke jobs ever.

I really think in some ways, there's even more pressure on the man and ultimately his legacy, ala LeBron and the super team losing to the Mavs.

You're 100% correct and it will be one of the biggest choke jobs ever. There is a TON of pressure on him now.

re: 2016 NBA Offseason Thread

Well I mean I'm expecting the Warriors to take the next few seasons by a landslide with KD, but it just wouldn't be the same kind of victory so to speak.

KD winning it all with the Warriors doesn't mean as much as if he did it with OKC, Spurs, Clippers, etc.

Just doesn't have the same "flare" to it if that makes sense. Sure he'll win with the Warriors but they can win it without him.

Why not go to a different team and make yourself a true legacy?

Winning is winning

I cant believe so many arm chair bitter hypocritical fans are behind keyboards beating their chests like some kind of macho Alpha narcissist.


The next time you get offered a better job by a better company....dont take it because you're being a beta if you do


Getting mad because he picked a better situation is so lol

Dudes claiming they're done with the league. .. dramatically emo

And aint watching anymore are nothing but a buncha casuals trying to sound smart.

Nobody cares of you dont watch abc anymore or if you dont respect a dude you dont even know.... like


What does is matter. Ive never seen one nba championship thats considered less than any other in the record books


Yall be wildin out... you still go out there and have to win. If you cant get better, convince guys to come help you win

This couldve been okc but they spent too many years trading pieces away and keeping scott brooks iso ball around for too long


Dude gave them 10 years and an mvp season.... they have NOTHING they can complain about because they had their chance

DURANT dont owe yall nothing like Lebron didnt. Hes a free agent.

You're absolutely right. Winning is winning. I just think and it's my personal opinion, that he took an easy way out.

OKC was perfectly capable of beating GSW but they fell short, just like GSW did against the Cavs.

I just believe that it would be better for him to get his legacy done with a team that would beat one of the best teams in the NBA. I would want to be one of the faces of a particular franchise. Right now it's still Curry. *shrug*

I'm not an "armchair bitter fan" anymore than anyone else is. It just seems like, especially how his "views" were on going to stacked teams, that he could have made a better choice for himself.

Winning with GSW doesn't really make his "legacy" amazing. It gives him a chased ring to be honest.

Like if he wins a ring with GSW this coming year, people won't be like "wow amazing", they'll be like "lol well what did you expect".

Is Peter Holt gonna be leading the charge for the Owners again?

http://www.foxsports.com/nba/story/spurs-peter-holt-retires-as-ceo-hands-the-reins-to-his-wife-030916

Peter Holt relinquished his CEO role to his wife during this past season. It is believed that his health is in decline, but those are just rumors.

(I'll find a link to the story.)

I understand Peter's reluctancy to pay such exuberant contract, he is one of if not the least wealthest owners in the NBA, in such a small market like San Antonio. He was trying to do what he thought was best for his side.

I'm for a healthy successful league and playing the players what the absolutely deserve.

Some of y'all take this **** too seriously talking about legacies and worthiness of one championship over another acting like everything is a Disney movie.

Roy Hibbert to Charlotte for 1-year, $5 mill.

Clearly the free agent signing of the day.

OKC wasnt capable of anything, thats why they didn't win.

Almost aint good enough.

Durant and Westbrook aint getting younger and management keeps trading away talent, relying on those two more and more

They ran their course... you don't have forever to win a ring.

Dudes are out here tripping off of their personal fantasies and think everybody cares that they're mad

Like Screamin A. upset because he told everybody Durant was going to LA, and now that he's in GS he's even more mad because his ince of credibility is shot up like an al capone target practice wall.

The meltdowns are unreal

I remember when this was the case for LeBron.

Yet when LeBron was about to go 2-5 in the Finals, no one was saying, "Its really 0-5 because I don't count those two ring chasing championships."

It will pass. LeBron has 3 rings and everyone knows it.

People talking about pressure. Try being Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing or Karl Malone talking about retirement with no rings and feeling that real pressure.

For 5 bucks ? Damn.

re: 2016 NBA Offseason Thread

For all of those like me who thought this was unprecedented, it seems it's not that unprecedented. Moses Malone signed with the 76ers, who were coming off a Finals loss to the Lakers, after his 82 MVP season. They won the Finals and he won MVP in 83 lol.

RIP Moses.

GSW just scared of Kyrie Irving. Everyone on GSW already as good as they're gonna be. Kyrie only 24 and just smoked all their asses, so they need all they can cause he hasn't peaked yet. Kyrie gonna win 17 Finals MVP
