I still think Bron's dash to both Miami and back to Cleveland were still worse than this.  Good for the Durantuala.

 

[rolaholic]

KD is now the heel of the league while Lebby is the babyface.

WATTBA

He's legit highkey gotta be happy about this ,it'll be the first season since the last decade where he's headin into it without any real pressure. ALL the pressure in the world is on those Golden ****boys

 

[tay1]

What are yall taking about?

LeBron's situation was the same lol. Went went to a team with 3 HOFers (Wade, Bosh, & Allen)

Y'all acting like Bron went to the Utah Jazz

They on that #ProtectLebron tip

 

[1Cn9wL8dg3]

OKC FREE RUSS

He abt to get the most sympathy in the whole league

 

[Mr Dink]

If you guys can't comprehend the difference in Lebron and KD's moves I don't know what to tell you.

 

[theknowledgeableprofessor]

dam you lol im coming from richmond. I cant just go to games willy nilly i gotta plan this a week in advance now

BART man. Shouldn't be that bad.

I used to live in Richmond, loved it there

At least we're fortunate enough to be close enough to go to games.

NBA logo the real MVP though

The circumstances are irrelevant.

KD ain't a leader. Son was neverportrayed like he was anything more than a great player that was a laid back dude otherwise. Wasn't calling himself a king and was positioning himself as the anti-superteam dude for a bit.

Son just smartened up and moved on focusing on his career.

Other than hating dude for buckling under pressure and having such nappy hair trying to villify dude as worse than LeBron when he left with decision is going to fail.

Miami>Ohio
Cali>Oklahoma

Lebron went back to the cavs, played in two straight finals while winning the most recent one. No need to protect him

These moves aren't the same

 

[casper90403]

Yup, it's in SF. Gonna be by UCSF/Mission Bay. It's a HUGE project for the bay area IMO. Great venue, business center, can hold tons of events...great for the area. Can't wait. It's called the Chase Center. Going to have shopping, restaurants, etc. Hell, maybe even a ferry service.

That's fantastic. I alway hate when a stadium is in the middle of nowhere. I love Dodger stadium but I wish it wasn't where it was

If you guys can't comprehend the difference in Lebron and KD's moves I don't know what to tell you.

Both left to better teams. Rest doesn't matter.

Bosh aint a HOF

These dudes want to hate Lebron when its not even his fault

In meeting, Bob Myers told Durant: Without you, we can another title or two. Without us, you might win too. Together? We'll win a bunch.

Legit starting to think the league's atually gonna become a REAL threat to the NFL soon

What kills me is that the best excuse they can come up with is "it's the same thing Bron did" but these people killed Bron when he made that move. Shouldn't they be up in arms about this too?

 

[tay1]

Lebron went back to the cavs, played in two straight finals while winning the most recent one. No need to protect him

But people are tho by trying to distinguish how they left. It don't matter. Both superstars left.

Pretty much this.

Both could NOT do it themselves, relocated themselves elsewhere to win.

PERIOD.

 

[jballer20]

Pau makes so much sense, he can play 20 minutes too , all you need is him for Thompson to limit the boards, he'd still get a lot of boards but not like the last two years

 

[earldagoat]

Durant's legacy is only ruined in the eyes of angry and bitter fans.  KD's a surefire HOF on his way to winnings dem rangz.

Same here. I was never trying to do anything in Oakland (sorry). I was in and out, Oracle parking lot only.

 

[617collector]

If I'm the Celtics, I package a deal with Horford to Sacramento for Cousins and then try to get Butler.

Obviously once Horford signs...

 

[Proposition Joe]

I didn't know bron haters were still around
