People jumped on my last night for saying this.


Him at 30 mil is dog shite unless he takes another leap.



I don't think it's unreasonable to take into account his trajectory. I expect him to continue to improve.

All three moves formed super teams. Period. You can spin however you want playing with stats. Each player formed a super team that otherwise wouldn’t have existed. They are more alike than different.

And he’ll go from the Nets organization and having his second and third best teammates to the Warriors organization with Step and Draymond being his top two teammates (until Klay comes back).

It's hypothetical shite over a probable move

the shite will become real soon enough and there will be a frick load of it, but you guys will be the favorite to win the title for the next 5 years so I think you can live with some griping here and there

Kawhi going to the Lakers would be an even bigger hoe move than KD to the Warriors
Durant misses 20 games and only played about 52% of the total minutes during the 2016-2017 season. They outscored their opponents by 7.5 points per 100 possessions, which is equivalent to about a 60 win pace. He missed 2 games and only played 65% of the minutes in the playoffs and they outscored their opponents by 9.5 points per 100 possessions.

So in the 22 games Durant missed, including 2 in the playoffs, the Warriors were 18-4 (81.8 winning percentage), and outscored opponents by 223 points (10.1 points per game).

If Kawhi signs with the Lakers, do you think the Lakers will be equivalent to a 60+ win team with Kawhi off the court?

Bc titles won by super teams are discounted on the individual players resumes Bc they took the easy way to get them.

And if all the players on the Dream Team or the Redeem Team all teamed up, they would be super teams too. Would them being super teams mean they are little different than a team with Joel Anthony, and nearly retired players like Carlos Arroyo, Z, and Eddie House (all 3’s last season) all playing about 1000 or more minutes?

No WBB. Durant leaving to join the 73 win team that he blew s 3-1 lead in the playoffs too is and will forever be seen as worse than Lebron joining the heat or kawhi possibly joining the lakers.

Btw, this is still you wanting to talk about FAs and not super teams ITT, correct?

No they aren’t but a discounted title is still better than no title.

Had Durant won a title in okc that would be much more respected than the ones he won in GSW.

Had lebron won titles his first go in Cleveland they would be much more respected than the ones he won on the super team in Miami.

super team titles are discounted compared to non super team ones.

Steph and klay get more respect for their title before Kevin than they do for the ones after. Bc they were a super team once KD came on board.

This is the free agency thread. Not the player legacy thread.

Except they aren’t though WBB. Nobody talks about the heat or the warriors or the Celtics or the lakers or the bulls titles being discounted.

And no, you talking about it to try to make harden look like less of a failure doesn’t count.

Also, this is still you talking about FAs and not super teams, right?

Ballz mouthpiece just said there's no market for cousins.


People got pissed he went and settle for the MLE last year.


He's about to take the minimum this year.

ETA: Davis decided to leave us because we didn't offer a minimum guy a maximum...
