Why are you mad at what GS and MIA did, but not the Celtics? We did the same thing, but guys in the tail end of their primes instead of entering it.

Hell, the 04 Lakers did it too with GP and Malone, just they were old as shit at that point

but Miami wasn't the first team to do this

Im shocked you guys are so ok with this warriors team doing what they did and what the heat did, whatever. To each their own i guess
Everybody's pissed at Durant, but the Warriors drafted their other 3 stars. You want them to ship them away so it's easier for other teams?

Draymond is a 6'5 overachiever
Klay was a mid lotto pick
Steph was highly doubted coming into the league

Just give them credit
And thats awesome. And i was rooting for them to beat lebron bc they were drafted by the same team. Warriors organization built that. KD going there is what i didnt like bc they won without him already before. They coulda done it again so why take an easy road out and bring in another former mvp instead of trying to win again with the same core. Thats my only issue

Dont worry though, with this new cba the only way we get superteams is with trades and draft picks

Just explained above, thought it was obvious kd going there is my only issue bc they already had an awesome core that was built by an organization

Lol he clearly asked for all those trades. Was never satisfied even having KYRIE AND LOVE on his team.

Can we atleast agree he put the heat team together?
So to be clear, lebron is not allowed to have free agents join him, and he is not allowed to be on teams that make trades, otherwise he's a pussy? Is that it?

I wouldnt say no, i get that part. Its more on KD. put me in KDs shoes and im not gonna piggy back on a team that just won without me a year before and a team that just embarrassed me coming back from a 3-1 deficit.

Doesnt matter if youre stockton or malone or charles or patrick, youre trash if you dont win

Now its win at all costs or your trash

You could also ask why people would be obsessed with a sport that has a worthless regular season and only 2 or 3 teams ever really contend

Is stockton a top 5 pg of all time?

Is malone a top 5 pf of all time?

Is reggie one of the top shooters of all time?

Yea winning matters , but depends how u go about it. If you win by joining a 73-9 core , idk if i can give any real credit to him and i wont
