    The only difference is someone going from 50-55+ win team to a 73 win team, that they lost to in 7 games. Other than that, everything else you mentioned has happened before.

      I think it's fair to say Durant to the Warriors is unique and it's also fair to say you don't think it should bring about change.

        Dwight complaining again on Mike and Mike

        Wanna re-emphasize how happy I am Dwight didn't end up with the Knicks. Even if he didn't get enough touches last year (2nd in post touches, 1st in paint touches per game according to a tweet by Jonathan Feigen), does he not realize that literally NO good will come from bringing all of this up and answering these questions and putting the spotlight on himself? He would've retired midseason dealing with our media.

            It's being used now like it was then. It's not like they're just picking on KD on particular.

            It's a an ideal opportunity for Silver to come out and say 'well we saw this coming and tried to stop it, but the players wouldn't let us..
            He did say last year that some teams are losing money again which is a farce, but this here is ridiculous man. I just can't look at these guys in the same look anymore.

            They can lockoutb of they want but they don't have my support on it. Ballmer definitely better not be out there championing for the owners.

            ..and silver said the cap raise would bring unintended consequnces but they didnt know what they were.

            Thing is its your league that decided to sign that massive contract, and the nbapa wasnt about to let the owners pocket all that sough while they stretch the money out to the players over 5 years.

            Not after they butt raped the players in the last cba

                            I'm not sure why Doc would do the proposed trade because their window is short with CP3 and it would make them worse for the upcoming season. I mean, it's not like they're going to beat Golden State, but I would they've moved up spot in the West since OKC lost Durant. It's not like Doc like rookies or draft picks, so why would he trade Blake now?

                            Here's the link from the Sporting News: http://www.sportingnews.com/nba/news...g1v147g2d2t89z

                            As a Celtics fan one thing I do like is this:

                            The Celtics would give up some number of their upcoming draft picks, but opposing front-office members say they don't want to give up either Brooklyn pick Boston can own in the next two years.
                            I still want an extension from Blake though. I don't want to give up players like Crowder, Brown, etc. for one year of Blake.

                              Doc is intent on breaking up what should've been a good thing in LA.

                              If we're keeping it 100, they're not looking much different than OKC as far as "missed/blown opportunities".

                              That team was pretty much set up for it to get to the next level and he pretty much kept them at the same level or you could say they got "worse" even though it might not show in their record.

                                There's also this.

                                Sources indicate the Celtics are very much open to major moves, but while situations certainly remain fluid and they have expressed interest in Blake Griffin and Russell Westbrook in the past, there have been no discussions regarding those players in quite some time.
