That's why if KD did come here, the possibility of AD being our guy could shift to being KD being our guy, bc Durant is obviously very talented and the argument could be made who's team this would be. What if KD dropped 33 a game in the 2017 NBA finals and led the pelicans to a championship while AD took a secondary role, and then KD averaged say 26-27 a game in the finals the next season while AD averaged around the same and that was the climax of their careers? I would absolutely love to see that happen I really would. BUT, what if AD had that 1 season (like breezes in 08-09) and single-handedly leads the team to a ring? How could you say that wouldn't be just as satisfying to whereas AD took a secondary role and let KD split the load 50/50?

I'm not sure about you, but I'm a Pelicans fan first and foremost, I'm only an AD fan because he plays for the Pelicans.

The best analogy to this dumb question is the Miami Heat when Lebron joined DWade. It was always Wade's team until Lebron got there. Do you honestly think Miami Heat fans would give up the run they had simply because Lebron carried them rather than Wade?

2 championships are more satisfying than one.

How is that dumb? It's a simple question. Would you rather see AD win a ring by himself or win 2 rings with the help of KD? How is that dumb? I could see it going either way, why doesnt your Dumb MF Puss A** answer the question??? What's your opinion man?


Holy crap dude. AD alone cannot make you a championhip team. It takes more than one player. It will take another really good superstar, like KD, as well as several other players who play really well. Either way, winning two championships is ALWAYS better than winning just one, no matter how you get them. You're greatly overthinking this.

If they add a 3rd superstar that's when I'll get pissed and stop supporting the team no matter how many titles they win.


I can't believe I am saying this, but this might be the dumbest thing posted in this thread.

Well this was a good thread to read while drinking coffee on a Monday morning. I've already got a headache.

Which was the desired destination, you just missed the intent.

I don't think the OPs question is that ridiculous. He should qualify it better with AD retiring a Pelican like Duncan is going to do with the Spurs or something along those lines. He's simply assuming that AD loves the city and wants to win a title for the city. AD's legacy to this city doing it himself would be completely different vs. doing it with another top 5-10 player. If AD were to retire a Pel, and we are choosing between 1 or 2 titles over a 5 year period only, I could easily see myself taking the 1. It just has such an "us against the world" feel to it. The emotion behind a Warriors-esque run vs. expecting to compete for a title with a loaded roster is completely different.

Hypothetical Question Regarding AD and KD


BRB going to flap

quote:

I know the Kevin Durant sweepstakes has been a big topic of discussion, but I have a question. Would you rather see AD/KD win 2 championships in the next 5 seasons together, or would you rather see AD win a single championship alone in the next 5 seasons? Sure, 2 championships in 5 years would be huge for the city of New Orleans. However, I just feel like this team has been AD's and will now officially be AD's with his new contract extension. I honestly don't know the answer to my own question, but I was wondering would people be more satisfied with OUR GUY(AD) winning us a championship in the next 5 years, or would people be more satisfied with 2 championships with the help of Durant. I think most people will say 2 just bc of the volume/amount but idk i would feel equally as appreciative if AD alone got us 1. Thoughts?


2 all day every day
