2016 Official NBA Off-Season Thread: Former Greatness

nope good try though
I don't know where the hell you are working at that people just leave and don't let anyone know.  At my job their is a two weeks notice, basically everytime someone leaves they make the rounds to damn near every person they worked with, and on top of that there is usually a going away party of some form.

Wherever you are working sounds more like a job and not a career.
 
I had a corporate job in 2010 and was laid off. I took the severance package and didn't look back. I peaced out and didn't bother to make contact with anyone. But I'm a cold blooded dude anyway

again like i said obviouslly your going to tell uper management and people that need to know. Now every single coworker? Nope especially if yoy werent close friends. And trust me i have a very good career, Some Nt'ers already know what i do.

every single co-worker is a lot different than Russ Westbrook.

Like i said, not saying something to Mitch McGary or Kyle Singler, but Russ? Come one. Thats bizarro. And more bizarro if you can't understand that
 
Except KG was healthy

So not that good of a comparison

we're not talking health of both players though. We're talking about rosters. KG was just dying his last few seasons on Minnesota. He had to get traded in order for fans to get the most of him.

KG his last few seasons in Minny (the current one doesn't count), AD, and Cousins. All in similar situations
 
KG won 58 games in 2004. The Wolves were a perennial playoff team before his last year or so there, they just couldn't get over the hump to be a championship team. That's a big difference between Cousins and AD's situations.

yup. It's a bad comparison..situations are nothing alike.

So why exactly does KD have to be better friends with russ then kyle singler? Because hes a better bball player?
 
Minny won 65 games the last two seasons KG was there. Who cares if they won 58 games before those last two. KG was languishing in Minny, just like AD and Cousins.

All great players but needed a change for people to truly enjoy their talents.

is this a serious question?? I'd have to think playing with someone/battling the league, for 7+ years counts more than playing with a guy, who wasn't even a role player, for one year means more, no? Are you trolling?

Why do you need to be friends with someone to say goodbye and i'm leaving? Is that a requirement?

So what you are saying is they were enemies, correct? Or at least definitely leaning towards enemies. If you believe that, then i can agree to disagree and say ok, maybe he didn't need to let Russ know. They were enemies. But thats not the case here.

Not sure what kind of world you live in, but damn it must be cold and dark. I'm surprised this is even being discussed.

Not to mention if I leave a job where I am about to screw someone over with a **** ton of extra work im going to give them the courtesy in advance of letting them know I am leaving so they can make necessary preparations.

always loved this quote

i dont like what kd did but you seem to always expect people to live by your moral code or how you choose to do things, what you consider is human decency.  no shade just what how i see things. Personally i dont have expectations for people , who is to say what is normal human decency? When it comes down to it ,   People are no better then animals.

not at all. I just think its reasonable to assume someone would say good bye considering they were not enemies. Call me strange i guess.

Funny considering you agreed that was weak of KD to do.

Certain things in life just fall into the reasonable category that doesn't require much out of you. Treat people like you want to be treated, do no harm onto others, simple stuff like that. It isn't a moral thing. Its just being a human in my opinion. If thats expecting too much, than so be it. But i won't apologize for believing this way.

you dont have to we all entitled to believe what we want, i wouldnt expect you to apologize for how you feel.

 i dont think much of humans either way. i dont know what normal "human" behavior  is other then obeying laws , what is normal ? Im not normal, and ive yet to meet anyone who i would consider normal because i dont know what that is.
