say that Kevin Durant joining a championship-level team, that had already won one and broke a single-season wins record, is a bitch move.


Meh. So what you are saying is that you wouldn't accept a job that offered equal or better pay, a more desirable work environment, and in a better location?

Why is it that we hold athletes to a different standard than what we follow in our own lives?

For the good of the league overall. Like it or not, NBA players have unprecedented power that no sport has ever seen w/ only 5 guys on the court at a time for each team.

There's a happy medium somewhere to enjoy your FA options, w/out making a mockery of the spirit of competition those that preceded KD instilled in the league.

It's sacreliguous to join up with the rival who bounced you, esp one that had 73 wins & was already stacked. IMO, it was a selfish, cowardly, short cut move that harmed the product on the floor in terms of the balance with all 30 teams. Others will disagree & are entitled to their opinion.
