    I just think it was a really bad move by KD going to the Warriors. That's all.

      He is worth more than $100 million dollars and is like 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.

      While 'soft' is harsh for my personal taste..

      How is this view any different than the view many have had about LBJ the last couple of years despite respecting his game?

      Now it's a hot take for The Servant? Only thing that bothers be about the whole discussion....

          Ok maybe I went a bit far saying KD doesn't have class. They both do. I just think this was a weak move for KD.

            Give it a year and wait for this next cap increase. Somebody bout to do some **** and piss a bunch of people off next year. Probably gonna be Blake, think he's the next 'likable' star that can turn heel during FA on the docket.

              There's a huge difference there.
              KD left his team to go to a team that he believes gives him the best chance to win a championship, but he does not have class.

              Lebron left his team twice to go to a team that he believed would give him the best chance at to win a championship, but has class.

              You can't argue with that type of logic.

                Heard he and Russ already planning their Superteam.

                And we know how people feel about players doing that...at least used to feel about it.

                    Why is it OK for the best player in the game to be PLANNING TWO YEARS AHEAD of his free agency to go play with his boys on another team while still playing for his current team? He was basically saying "I don't care about ya'll because I'm gone in 2 years anyway to go play with my homies".

                    It was the worst thing in the world then but now that whole sequence is OK? That doesn't make sense...
                    I still think that was kind of ****ty by Lebron, but even I know that going to Miami for a few years was probably the best thing for him. As a result of those years, the Cavs got a different Lebron and were able to build the team through the draft. Whether or not you think he was sincere in wanting to bring Cleveland a championship that narrative of trying to right his wrongs changed a lot of people's view on him. All of those events over the last 6 years change our perception of the whole debacle in 2010.

                    Right now, KD going to GS is still fresh. Those events (and time) which changed people perception of Lebron's actions in 2010 haven't happened yet.

                    In my opinion, in 4-6 years people will soften up to Durants decision too. Who knows, maybe he'll go back to OKC one day too.

                          WE ALL know how you feel about the move, it's over, and so should the hangover.

                          Time to talk about something new and fresh, like the Dwade poker playing in NY who will announce as guest host on Kelly Ripa live tomorrow his decision to go back to SB.(j/k on the announcing the decision, sounded good, but he is guest host.)

                              So you don't think that LeBron knew what he was doing when he went to Miami, then back to Cleveland?
