GS is probably the surest bet so I guess that's what he valued more.

isn't winning supposed to be the goal?

Just makes him look like a follower and not a leader to a lot of people.

i just don't get this. we don't know how things will shake out in GS

and this is coming from the original "KD hides in the playoffs" guy

the "leader" of that team is draymond green

the "Jordan Paradigm" doesn't really apply today, no matter how much people want it to apply

How can they keep that Big 4 then?

they have birds rights on all others and can go over the cap to sign them, presumably after KD gets his extension in a year

IMO Lebron made it ok to do this when he formed the super friend team in Miami.

and the next deal, the huge one, has a massive difference

GS isn't getting his birds rights or any of the other advantages OKC would have

it's been reported he's leaving about $50M on the table if he leaves OKC

i think it's "worse" in terms of title chasing. not in terms of how badly he fricked his former team. lebron fricked the cavs so badly.

I bet guys like Barkley, Malone, Ewing are thinking they should have just joined the Bulls rather than actually competing now...

but what's wrong with guys wanting to win?

I said it in another thread, you can't logically can't find any fault in this, none.

I do agree, if the media or whoever want to be consistent, they should roast KD. But the treatment of Lebron was obviously absurdly wrong, so it would be nice for them to get it right this time.
