December 13, 20187 yr I want to see Durant on his own team. Last night Klay and Curry combined for 10/29 for 24 points. Durant dropped 30 on 13/22 shooting. No one remembers these games when they happen. It's amazing how Curry somehow gets a pass when he plays like shit, but if KD isn't flawless it's a knock against him. I have zero doubt Durant could lead a team to playoff success without 3 all-stars around him. I don't know if he feels like it or not, but I think it would be redeeming not only for his status as a basketball player, but also for those of us that have followed him his entire career.

He had a chance in 2012-2013

Adjusting to WBrook being out was probably too much for that team. Not that it really matters - he is a much better all-around player now than he was in 2013 - with more experience on the biggest stage.
March 13, 20196 yr Anybody watched The Boardroom yet? Is it worth the time? Edited March 13, 20196 yr by pyrohornIII
April 27, 20196 yr Durant with 38 pts at halftime, second-highest scoring half in NBA playoffs history.
April 27, 20196 yr everyone around here spends all year every year shitting on KD and then the playoffs roll around and he's like, "Oh btw I'm the best basketball player on the planet, since y'all forgot." and even the people all around basketball who don't actively hate on him dismiss and omit him. I must have heard that Harden is the greatest offensive player ever a dozen times this year, same as last year. nobody ever interjects to mention KD. but then again that's because he left his toxic situation having to play with Russ so that he could be a member of an actual team, where people ignore his greatness until that team inevitably leans on and depends on KD for postseason victory. It's like clockwork. KD is the best player in basketball, and if the Dubs win it all again I don't think anyone will be able to argue otherwise.

April 27, 20196 yr I actively root against Durant. He’s the ultimate fake tough guy. We all knew one of those guys growing up.

April 27, 20196 yr He may not be a “tough guy” but you can say what you want when you’re the best player on any court on the planet.
April 27, 20196 yr he's very clearly the best player in basketball right now. if you're too blinded by hate to see that, it's on you.
April 27, 20196 yr people can recognize his talent without having to like his personality. if you're too stupid to see that, it's on you.
April 27, 20196 yr that's not an example. if he's the biggest "such and such" in the entire league it should be pretty easy to come up with a bunch of examples.

April 27, 20196 yr Lol who gives a fuck about his “personality”? He’s hands down the best and pointing to 2012-2013 is dumb because he’s in his prime right now not 7 years ago. I’m sure KD gives a shit if people thinks he’s a real or fake tough guy.
April 27, 20196 yr 12 minutes ago, longhornmatt said: His regular season stats will be insane next year if he goes to NY or some other team that isn’t the Warriors (and doesn’t have Russell Westbrook taking 25 shots instead of passing it to KD). He is a much better scorer now than he was when he was leading the league every year in the early 2010s for OKC. He could probably average 40 PPG if he decides he’s won his titles and just wants to hunt shots for a while like Kobe in the post-Shaq years. i thought the same thing earlier today. just thinking about how many shots he might be able to get up if he goes to a team that really leans on him. He should go home to DC and just have him and Beal combine to take 55+ shots every night. (I'm sure this a terrible idea in actuality, but it would be fun to see defenses trying to stop those two).

April 28, 20196 yr I really wish Kevin Durant wasn’t so sensitive. He needs to leave GS and stop trying to carry on this villain role. It’s just not him

I mean this is probably true but so what? OU takes pride in their dickhole former athletes from kyler, baker, all the way to Boz. Aggy loved Manziel when he was getting sloshed. I’m doing the same, fuck it
April 29, 20196 yr 24 minutes ago, NowThis said: can the $ work for GS retaining KD and Klay next year? Yes. They can go as far over the cap as they want to sign their own guys. So long as their willing to pay a fortune in luxury tax. Doesn't matter though, KD is gonzo.

Golden State has two other players that can go off for 50 on any given night, and the opposing defense has to respect that. One of them is also a good distributor, the other barely needs to touch the ball to put up points. If he goes Almost anywhere else He's gonna get a lot more attention, the other teams best defender, double teams, etc. He could still put up numbers, but won't be as easy that's for sure

April 29, 20196 yr You’re right. Name another best player in the league that didn’t leave his team with another AS player to join the team he couldn’t beat while up 3-1 in the WCF. I’ll hang up and listen.

If the Warriors repeat again, he could legit be number 8 by the end of the playoffs. But he'd probably need to average 33+ to do it (that would get him 561 points if GS averages 6 games a series the rest of the way).
April 30, 20196 yr Yes. They can go as far over the cap as they want to sign their own guys. So long as their willing to pay a fortune in luxury tax. Doesn't matter though, KD is gonzo.Could GS sweeten the deal with some Pizza Shooters, Shrimp Poppers, or Extreme Fajitas?https://nypost.com/2019/04/30/guy-fieri-joins-warriors-fight-to-keep-kevin-durant-off-knicks/
