Wade out here playing games man.

If this was Kobe, we'd be talking about that ego by now.

So, being 3-1 and not closing out counts as basically appearing in the Finals and coming close to 'winning it all?' A lot these, "well, yeah, but" takes keep throwing out "up 3-1" like it means anything.

Where's the * for that?

Well if you ask the majority of people on here, OKC was gonna steamroll Cleveland, just like GS was gonna. So yeah they're basically champs.

Can't we all just agree 50% of us think it was weak and easy way out and the other 50% understand the decision and don't think it affects his legacy? Feels like we been talking about this for 100 pages and not going anywhere lol. Although not much else to talk about.

Pretty much...I'm not sure why anyone would expect it to be a widely accepted decision that doesn't come with some criticism... but theres nothing wrong with either view really

Hearing from Chuck is one thing but am I the only one that really wants to hear Kobe and MJ's takes on KD's move?

re: 2016 NBA Offseason Thread

Not really sure what you're trying to accomplish here. Forming a big three on a team that wasn't already tailored to win and had to be filled out with minimum contracts isn't quite the same as joining an already existing big 3 with quality depth that just won the most regular season games ever.

*sips tea*

It's only a few years in real time, but it's really not fair to compare how the teams were constructed in the past given this new era were in. Without this cap increase this "Big 4" forming would have never happened. And I can guarantee you had Lebron's Miami teams had an additional $30-40 million to spend they would have been much deeper.

People talking about asterisks like KD cares about that. He gets paid AND now in the best position to get a rings and stayed as low key as possible about the decision.

This man gave everything to OKC. Literally dropped a check when people were in need. But yea, he's soft? Ok, right.

This isn't 90's basketball so what cats did back then is irrelavent. This is a different time as players are making business decisions just like owners, as it should be.

100% accurate.

He can do whatever he wants. But people are going to have opinions. We can all agree to disagree.

Anyway Wade is playing games.....big time games. He is stacking his cards/chips as high as he can so when Micky sit's down with him he will get as much as he can one last time.

He came up with that phrase BTW.

I see why you hate hot takes so much

Especially when certain dudes have nothing else to talk about so they come here to start espn arguments


Its awful

Al these moves and we got some of the most salty illogical lol worry posts in a matter of 2 days since LeBron quit in Mike brown and walked off the floor taking his jersey off



They don't even care about free agency.

re: 2016 NBA Offseason Thread

Ya'll crack me up with these newfound labels ya'll done came up with in the last 2 days. Like everyone became 3 Degree Psychologists all of a sudden. [emoji38]

"Tier 1 All Time Great" - Because you can't be a HOFer if you're not in "Tier 1" LOL.

"He's soft. If he would've went to the Spurs, it would count as a full championship but since he went to the Warriors, it only counts for 75%"

"Why would he care about cost of living, when he's a multi millionaire? -It's amazing how easy it is for us to speak on SOMEONE ELSE'S money, lol.

What else am I forgetting?

And it's ****ing July and only 5 days into FA. Stop acting like teams can't improve or can't build depth. Ya'll do this **** every year. [emoji38]

He is soft, IMO.......

And I love this dude because of where he comes from and how he came up. That doesn't mean he isn't soft as baby ****. He blew game six at home, choked away a 3-1 lead and ran to the same guys that embarrassed him.


He is worth more than $100 million dollars and is likely going to make close to half a billion dollars after his career is over (endorsements and salary combined), so it ain't about "counting someone else's money." He can live whereever he wants, anyhwere in the world. Cost of living doesn't mean **** in his tax bracket. And just to prove that point, he's leaving a place with a low cost of living to an area with the highest cost of living in America.

Sounds like a smart move by the Bulls perhaps playing a bit of poker?

GarPax? Poker? Those two don't even own a deck of cards

Never that.



We still owe King after that 2013 Playoff series.



But when it comes to #SpursHate, we'll always be united on that front. We're like the Hall and Nash of this thing. And just wait til you see who the third man is...

We're not here to talk about the past. What's done is done, let's be solutions oriented lol

He also laughed at the notion of loyalty too.

re: 2016 NBA Offseason Thread

I don't judge that way.

Some of the greatest ever have no rings, titles etc. This is today's society.....the 24/7 tweeter/social media numbnut mentality.

Malone and Stockton were incredible and just as good as anyone at their respective positions regardless of a lack of "rings".

If Jordan had only just won 1 or even 2 titles....still would have been the greatest player I ever saw. Hell no titles....I thought he was the best ever before he won his first.

It's all hogwash in the end. Winning NBA titles is the toughest team sport title bar none. And for obvious reasons. So lack of titles does not deter one's greatness in my eyes in a game that has the best athletes in the world.

This is a perfect post to me. 1000% agree with every single word.
