mostly I am baffled by all this and yet ecstatic that kd absolutely destroyed the fourth of july for a generation of thunder fans
― Clay, Monday, 4 July 2016 21:25 (nine years ago)
all the bandwagon okc fans are like "i have ALWAYS been a huge fan of the warriors as well as the (team westbrook goes to)"

oh stop
― brimstead, Monday, 4 July 2016 23:01 (nine years ago)
durant leaving okc for a team that they had 3 chances to eliminate is such a trash move
― marcos, Monday, 4 July 2016 23:01 (nine years ago)
brimstead cmon dude just u wait
dubs can't help themselves with that shit
― marcos, Monday, 4 July 2016 23:02 (nine years ago)
yeah all that winning is really arrogant of them
j/k, i know what you mean

can we keep the lame normy takes outta this thread
― k3vin k., Monday, 4 July 2016 23:21 (nine years ago)
good one
― marcos, Monday, 4 July 2016 23:22 (nine years ago)
wanting a 73 win team to get another all star is a more interesting opinion ur right
― marcos, Monday, 4 July 2016 23:24 (nine years ago)
Feel like they were sufficiently humbled a couple weeks back
― moistest hoist (Spottie), Monday, 4 July 2016 23:43 (nine years ago)
about half of the reason i'm happy this happened is because i know it'll offend so many delicate first-take-informed sensibilities of casual fans

draymond's account of the move
can you imagine how absolutely furious about this wilbon will be
― Clay, Tuesday, 5 July 2016 00:12 (nine years ago)
stephen A has already called it the "weakest move my a superstar ever"

so many macho opinions from macho men!
GSW getting zaza for 3m is criminal
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 5 July 2016 00:14 (nine years ago)
They maybe got slightly better at C
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 5 July 2016 00:15 (nine years ago)
Warriors could beat this year's Olympic team (tho Klay would have a pretty busy day guarding himself)
― Neanderthal, Tuesday, 5 July 2016 00:16 (nine years ago)
zaza is 32 and will probably regress
― k3vin k., Tuesday, 5 July 2016 00:20 (nine years ago)
He's also v bad at defense and Rim protection which is really all they need from a center
― moistest hoist (Spottie), Tuesday, 5 July 2016 00:22 (nine years ago)
Otoh both of his arms work
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 5 July 2016 00:25 (nine years ago)
He'll be fine and that's a great price obv

Bogut will be 32 in two months and had a significant injury yet again
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 5 July 2016 00:27 (nine years ago)
Andrew Bogut more like Andrew Bigot amirite.
― Nicholas Nickelback (Leee), Tuesday, 5 July 2016 00:29 (nine years ago)
I thought we were in a new era where big men didn't matter what happened to that
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 5 July 2016 00:29 (nine years ago)
someone tried to beat smallball by getting every rebound and it worked iirc

I doubt Wade gives them much more than they got from JRpert in the playoffs but I guess he could have a renaissance
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 5 July 2016 01:59 (nine years ago)
he averaged 21, 5.5, 4.3 on 47% from the floor in the playoffs last year, nothing to shake your head at
― Clay, Tuesday, 5 July 2016 02:02 (nine years ago)
What the fuck
Free agent guard Seth Curry is finalizing a two-year, $6M deal with the Dallas Mavericks, league sources tell @TheVertical.
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 5 July 2016 02:04 (nine years ago)
he also made like half of his career 3s in those last couple games vs hornets
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 5 July 2016 02:05 (nine years ago)
Harrison Barnes getting the max and Curry getting 3m is not a rational marketplace
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 5 July 2016 02:07 (nine years ago)
is this the start of some movie where the 2 brothers switch places and no one notices
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 5 July 2016 02:08 (nine years ago)
I read that as Stephen Curry the first time and was really confused
― Neanderthal, Tuesday, 5 July 2016 02:10 (nine years ago)
lol that mavs squad will still win like 48 games most likely

well big men matter during the regular season because playing small exclusively would be too physically taxing. but the cavs won game 7 w/o playing a traditional center which makes 2 straight champions that severely deemphasized the position.
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 5 July 2016 02:27 (nine years ago)
you need big men to bang during the regular season & during the playoffs ideally you have big men to be flexible depending on the matchup or series but the best teams are playing small. okc's run in the playoffs could maybe be a counterpoint to that but even they were at their absolute best w/ kd at the 4.
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 5 July 2016 02:29 (nine years ago)
& even teams w/ dominant centers (pistons, 2016 heat, 2015 rockets) wanna play "small" w/ a combo of guards & wings or in the case of the rockets want to play 4 out w/ a traditional stretch 4
