ahh.. I actually see Boston as a nice suitor for KD if he leaves... but i think he will re-sign for 1 year to see what his thunder buddy does. I'm about 90% sure Russ will be here for the long run though.
Don't take my word for it haha it's just a really good gut feeling! But he's a rockstar in OKC.. him and KD are treated like kings there... i know people that live in the city and say they are a huge part of the community. They have stores and such across the city.. i just don't see why they would leave from an off the court perspective, they both getting a shit load of money from the league AND plenty endorsements & companies they sponsor. Then on the court... i mean where would they go where they would realistically be better than OKC is already. They can't run from their flaws and critics, they need to just fix it.. the talent is there..OKC is a championship calibur team as long as Russ & KD are together. One of the best duo's ever, they just need a ring to confirm.
would be pretty awesome if after all the talking they ended up second in the west behind the Spurs. Unlikely but I would find it to be awesome
Yeah it would, I don't see it happening. I'm holding out hope that the Spurs finish the season unbeaten at home, but knowing Pop, he'll rest 10 players in the last home game and they'll be one game shy of perfect.
Enes Kanter now has the most double doubles off the bench since 1992 season. Sixth Man Of The Year Much?????
Warriors are going to finish first and Spurs second, so the game tonight is only relevant for GS's chances at the record.
Portland fan? ewww, okay. I have to bring some nostalgia back. Bryant to Shaq. I was at this game. Think I lost some eardrums on that play.
I'm a huge OKC fan lol. But his idol is larry bird, u heard how much respect he has for the city, and he'd be a nice fit as well they have a good young team. I think if Boston makes a nice run in the playoffs KD will for sure be intrigued.
Ugh. Well, I have a lot of respect for the city too. Some of my best friends are Boston fans. I don't think I'd pick Boston if I was him. KD to LA is a pipe now too I think. I think he goes to the Warriors honestly. In fact, yep, I will bet KD to Warriors. What are the Vegas odds? I need to find out.
They pretty much robbed the Grizzlies in their game on Saturday. Lance Stephenson got fouled twice on the same play in the final seconds of the 100-99 win. He literally got fouled by two different players on that last shot, but they didn't call it to preserve the race to the record. I never saw the 95-96 Bulls, but I still imagine the Bulls would run train on this Warriors team. You have 3 top 50 defenders in Rodman, Pippen & Jordan, as well as Ron Harper whom was a 6'6" defensive nightmare. They have a small lineup including 6'10" Kukoc shooting 40% from 3 that year, and Steve Kerr shooting 51% from 3. Handcheck or no handcheck, I think the Bulls win. Imagine trying to contain Jordan without a handcheck? What do you guys think?
That would be a trash move for him and his legacy. He'd destroy himself. He'd be the first player bandwagoner. He'd be worse than LeBron forming the superteam by 1,000 miles. Warriors don't need him, he needs them. That's what he's telling us by going to GS. Just riding the wave to a ring instead of putting in the work and finishing what your started. I think if anything he stays in OKC on a one year deal and waits to see what Russ will do.
