My god
LeBron would probably be the hero here even if he was still on the Heat.
I'm almost looking forward to 2017-2018 season more now. I want to see this new ultra-super team era in action XD

I hate LeBron more than almost anyone and the thought crossed my mind that I want the Cavs to beat the Warriors again in the Finals.
Lebron about to retire and do Space Jam 2. He has a better chance beating the Monstars than beating the Warriors.

And the NBA gets even worse, if that was somehow possible. There were 4 really good teams when the season ended last year. Now there are 3. Possibly 2, if the Spurs lose Duncan to retirement and Parker and Ginobili age in a hurry. Nobody else has any chance of winning the title. And yet people celebrated a 73 win team when 30% of the league's talent was on that roster.
This is obviously awesome for Golden State. Now when they face that one or two good teams in the playoffs, they have some other option against a good D than shooting an ill-adviced bomb from 30 feet out.
Seriously question: Why in the world would you call OKC or their players chokers? Klay just happened to hit 11 threes in a must win game. Unreal performance and nothing OKC could do about it. Thunder played as well as any team for a 2 week stretch against the Spurs and Warriors. Calling someone a "choker" when they get outplayed is just lazy.

Spurs better hurry up and sign some new blood.
So you root for the guy who started the trend of running to super teams, now after another guy does it ummm ok

I thought at first that this move made no sense to add another shooter on the Warriors but they couldn't hit the broad side of a barn the last 5 minutes of game 7 so it addresses a need.
Have to wait for free agent Westbrook next year.

The guy who got you Lebron in the first place is out here having to taking meetings with other teams because you're chasing whales.

Would let Tony Parker sleep with his wife

No he didn't. Of course he was going after KD first. You want him to overpay a 35-year old shooting guard and kill the cap space before going after the nr. 1 free agent in the market? That's just stupid.
Heat have taken care of Wade his whole career. I doubt they stop now, and they would've done the same even if Durant chose Miami. Riley is one of the best and most respected people in the league for a reason.

I can't wait to watch OKC in the lottery for the next decade. I hope they draft 10 Greg Odens.

A lot of good that does you when those same players sans Leonard and Aldridge cannot seem to shoot. Spurs had a very big problem of over-relying on Kawhi and LMA to generate their offense, which is great if they're on their game like Game 1 against OKC...

Never give in or pander to these fuckheads.
I learned that when the United Center was decorated like it was the Carmoney Anthony Center.

Dude totally struck out...
I mean yea we had .00001% chance of getting Durant but he let a lot of players go for nothing (Deng, Pusha T, Iso Joe) just to have Wade throw shade tweets at him

Sooo.......
0% it happens, but what do you think the chances are that OKC tries to pull a Deandre

Feel bad for Westbrook. Also should be the odds on favorite to win MVP this year.
Harden trade really was the worst. Trading him in fine was theory but they got completely fleeced and got almost nothing of value. A cheap ass owner was their downfall. Dude didn't want to spend money when he had KD and Westbrook.

Thank you Lebron for being a snitch.
Every 35 year old ring chaser like Richard Jefferson last year will sign for peanuts on this team.
Ye, times change and you find reasons to dislike other people. He might've started this, this 1 upped the original decision in terms of unlike ability imo. I might not like Lebron still, but Cavs are probably the only team that has a chance to stop them.

Calling it. OKC Thunder will be relocating to Las Vegas or back to Seattle in 6 years. The salt here in OKC is sooooo strong.

I'm so happy that Durant didn't go to Boston just because of Bill Simmons.
Warriors had the best bench in the NBA the 11th and 12th men were giving them solid playoff minutes, this team is way loaded Heat big 3 didn't have this
