Oh I know what that was all about. I see you haven't been up on all of this discussion.

Oh, I'm up on it. Sarcasm is hard to read on the internet.

Shame on me.

"Lebron has class, Kd doesn't"

Lol I'm done on that note.

What's the next subject we gonna fake care about?

We all care otherwise this wouldn't be an on-going topic. He's the 2nd or 3rd best player in the league so where ever he went was going to be looked at from 1,000 angles.

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....

Hey, it is said about better and lesser players than Durant. It isn't weak to sign with the GM that allegedly says to you," we will win regardless if you sign here. You might win if you don't sign here?" Was Bob Myers not challenging KD's competitve spirit, but in the most insulting way possible?

The kid is by all accounts a great person, the best player to ever come out of Prince George's County, an absolutely incredible athlete and unique talent but that doesn't make this move look any better. Wanting to win is one thing, trying to hit the "Easy" button is another. And to keep it 100% I thought LeBron was doing the same bull**** (which is their right) and was happy when Dallas (yuck, Mark Cuban and Dirk) humbled his ***.

You could (Keyword) Argue the Warriors have the best PG, best SG, Best SF, and the best PF in the NBA all on the same team .

Why isn't it close to what Lebron did?

One player lost to a team that dropped a 3-1 lead and went to the team that beat him. The other left his home town team that had the best record in the league to team up with his buddies in South Beach. What makes one player jumping ship worse than the other?

Do this situations have to be exactly the same in order for one move to not be considered "weak sauce" and the other being smart/great or whatever title you guys want to give it?

I've already spelled it out multiple times but maybe this will make it easy to understand:

Cavs in 09-10: 61-21
Cavs in 10-11- 19-63

Thunder in 15-16: 55-27
Thunder in 16-17: TBD but you can sure as hell bet they ain't gonna drop to the worst team in the league because one player left and only win around 20 games. They still have a ton of talent, unlike the aforementioned Cavs that LeBron left. He carried that franchise with mediocre talent for all 7 years. He never had even a top 30 player on his team let alone a top 5 player.

Maybe they let him go so he could get paid as a consolation

I hope he gets paid, he worked his *** off for us.

It's a good summer to have come from the D-League huh?

He's also from Baton Rouge, so I can't fault him for wanting to win one for the Bayou.

I honestly don't think they have the best at any position except maybe SG but that is more a result of how weak that position is.
