Kevin Durant signs with the Golden State Warriors

[gmc_rfc_06]

Apparently the Thunder are now having to consider trades for Westbrook.

KD just ripped that franchise apart.

They weren't considered because there wasn't free agency back then not because they had so much love or pride for they're team. Guarantee if guys could have moved to whoever paid the most and win they would have.

Unrestricted started in 1988.

Look, teams had to start giving Lebron a taste of his own medicine; Lebron had been artificially stacking his teams for years. It wasn't really fair against from-the-ground teams like the Warriors.

This pretty much throws the gauntlet down to the Cavs. The Warriors just went Super Saiyan. Next year's rings are coming back to Golden State, and then we'll see who Lebron gets to stack up his team even more. The next few years' finals will be very competitive and entertaining.

Exactly. That's the way I look at it too.

And isn't Durant taking less money to go to Golden State?

LeBron James has not played for a team anywhere near that level, stop the nonsense.

The 2012 Heat was the best Heat team; Wade was a top 10 player, Bosh was top 20, that was it. Now Kyrie is a top 10 player, Love is top 30.

Durant, Curry and Klay are all top 10 players, Green is top 15...it's a completely different situation.

OKC was very similar to the LeBron teams; Durant and Westbrook were both top 5 players, Ibaka is very good. He ran from those teams to the most stacked team in modern history.

With Miami maybe but Cleveland is not exactly "artificially" stacked. Even without Durant the Warriors had a deeper team than Cleveland. They just happened to lose the series.

LeBron is going to beat them again. LBJ already beat them twice in a playoffs series.

**** KD.

He hasn't but that's simply because he wasn't lucky enough to do so.

We all know damn well that he did the whole "form a super team" thing first.

Ibaka got traded to Orlando. If Westbrook is also traded, that will be heartbreaking. OKC will be in worse shape than Portland was last season.
