We'll see if the Warriors recover from the end of the season stretch of stinkers.

Very few people had LeBron going to Miami before the Decision. The talk wasn't about Miami at all. Lot of revisionist bullshit on here.

I don't think he'll ever be asked to shoulder the load like LeBron has had to pretty much the entire time he's been in Cleveland.

But what I was getting at was this. OKC and Cleveland are not attractive places to play. They aren't Miami, NYC, LA, HOU, Golden State, BOS, PHI, etc. They're, within the NBA anyways, small-to-mid market teams who play in cities that are considered second rate to the majority of cities in the NBA. LeBron won a title in a market like that, in which no one wanted to play there and the 2nd best player on his team was someone who the team drafted at 1 when they won the title. KD could have done something similar in OKC with Westbrook, but left for GS.

That's, ultimately, what I think helps LeBron redeem his legacy from how he left Cleveland initially and is something KD could do if he ever found a city like that. I don't know if there will be a situation like OKC with Westbrook, but if he did go to, I dunno, Milwaukee with Giannis and won a ring, I doubt people would look down at KD as hard as they do now.

I thought Miami was one of like the 6 he considered?

The others were Cleveland, Brooklyn, New York, Clippers, Chicago?

It was but all the media and talking heads and douches were saying LeBron to Chicago and then you had New York, because LeBron likes the Yankees and Jay Z was deep throating LeBron more than Nick Wright.

I hate Russ so I don't blame KD one bit for leaving that asshole. I doubt there is anybody that likes playing with him not even his own kid.

what teams will he consider this time? LA, Philly, Portland, Houston?

I saw this on r/NBA and I just have to say I love Klay Thompson, in fact if I could be any NBA player I would be Klay. The guy is the most down to earth chill guy ever.

Quote:

Via Marcus Thompson of The Athletic: 'They all marched into the locker room together. Each one with their NBA Finals caps, smiling, laughing, chattering. The cameras were rolling, filming and snapping the procession of joy into the locker room. Jordan Bell was holding the trophy commemorating their 2018 Western Conference championship. He stopped to pose for photos with fans.

Then, out of nowhere, Klay Thompson appeared. He wasn’t with his teammates. He emerged from a door leading to the Rockets’ suites. He just came out of nowhere and skipped into the locker room, like he was with the team all along.

Where did he come from? What was he doing? Why did he take a different route than his teammates?

His answer, to our Ethan Strauss, was so Klay Thompson.

“I watch a lot of Harry Potter movies.”'

Klay is the cog that makes the Warriors machine work. Him going out with foul trouble through the Warriors off last night in the first half.

Most likely Philly due to the shitty East with Houston #2.

This is one of the greatest things I've ever read. There's no way LeBron is going to this franchise as long as BC is still there.

I know Lebron has a secret bromance with Dame or he could sync up with Paul George so I wouldnt count those guys out either.

I agree and he doesn't get all the accolades that Curry and Durant get but he doesn't give a shit. And who could blame him, he is a NBA champion, rich as ****, can get high and have all the chocolate milk that he wants.

That is right up there with KD’s burner Twitter accounts. No way he should keep his job.

It's worse. All Kevin Durant's burner tweets showed was that he's really insecure about his Warriors decision and that he blamed his former teammates/coach for what happened at OKC. We just found out that BC has been disclosing team strategy and revealing sensitive information on his players (while also bashing them). Forget LeBron, no top free agent is going to want to play there as long as he's still in the organization. They've gotta cut him.

If you are going to have that attitude than don't complain when DJ signs with the Raiders or Charles with the Broncos... They owe us nothing.

See it goes both ways.

What Durant did was pussy shit... True competitors want to beat the best not join them.
