"When asked his opinion about Oklahoma City’s offseason activity, Kevin Durant offered a three-word response: “I love it.”
Durant then walked away from the media, seemingly upset, while taking in the action at the Team USA minicamp in Las Vegas.
The Thunder let Kevin Martin go in free agency and lost out to the Memphis Grizzlies in the race to Mike Miller. Miller was personally recruited by Durant."

dude seriously said he thinks he's the best player in the league lol

and it got that homer tard wilbon trying his best to make sense of that comment instead of laughing it off

 

[beh235]

I just don't understand how management chose to pay Ibaka over Harden which prompted the trade. You could replace what Ibaka gives you, Harden, not so much.

 

[es el]

S&T has thee best pics and gifs on NT handsdown

 

[dmbrhs]

Why is everyone getting so worked up over Rose's comments? The way some people talking, it's like he killed their mom, or something.

 

[certifiedflyboi23]

Wilbon stay Wilboning. He changed ever since he joined ABC countdown..

 

[coldcity]

Can one of you dudes harping on it please tell me what he was supposed to say

was he supposed to slurp bron & the warm in HIS interview

was he supposed to cower & say kobe,bron & kd are all better than me

HELL NO ... any & everybody saying or thinking he shouldve are $%^&* goofies point blank

go ask insert player name here who he thinks is the best & 99/100 the person will say themselves at thier position

 

[grandtheftbike]

word. mario chalmers thinks mario chalmers is top 10 pg

 

[bhzmafia14]

If Lebron said something like this back in 2007 or something, people would rip him apart. I'm a Rose fan, but I see no difference with him. I honestly don't care. I would rather him have that competitive edge than act like he's not the best. Its not like this guy is Jordan Crawford or something .

 

[coldcity]

word. mario chalmers thinks mario chalmers is top 10 pg

MY POINT EXACTLY

the only top 10 mario will sniff is is top 10 loud smoker in the NBA

It wouldn't be NT if people weren't getting worked up over insignificant comments.

 

[Peep Game]

Those Lebron trollface gifs are never not funny

 

[$tacy]

I dont see three issue with what rose said but I do have a problem with him trynna play drew league if true. All the fans who defended him not playing in the playoffs was hyped n happy n ****. He should sit out a nba playoff and not risk reinjury but yall basically supporr him playing in basically a and 1 game? Lol

 

[100027]

I think people just like giving Bulls fans a hard time since they genuinely believe this stuff...

Kobe and Bron were both asked the question and the both had the correct answers. Dude looks dumb after not playing a whole year and saying hesnthe best player in the league.

In between The Decision and the 1st championship there was a new thread every damn week about some mundane-*** LeBron quote. NTers love this ****.

That's not what happened..

They were both offered contracts at the same time.. Ibaka accepted his..

The front office continued to negotiate with harden, going as high as 4 years 55 mill.. Harden wanted the max (which for okc would have been 4 years 60 mill) AND a no trade clause

When harden turned down the final offer, they then started looking at trades






We obviously don't know the exact trades.. But little things have come out:

Like the wizards not wanting to give up beal.. The warriors wanting to include some of their horrid contracts.. Then the mumblings about the raptors

How you gonna ask for a no-trade clause when you come off the bench? Harden was definitely feeling himself.

"LeBreezy" might be the worst thing you type, and that's saying a lot.
