How?

Bosh had done zero before joining LBJ. Wade had one great year with Shaq. GS just win 73 games and the title all within 2 years. LBJ left to try to win titles as part of a big 3. Durant is jumping on coattails to get a ring. Very different in my book. Miami had work to do. GS had to choke to not win 2 straight.

First of all...just WOW!!! Jerry West does it again. I find it funny how people are trashing GS and Durant for using the system in place. KD has every right to pick a new team. He is getting less money for a better opportunity to win a championship. I am sure if KD were coming to the Jazz, Jazz fans wouldn't be thrashing the organization.

This situation is not like Malone and the Lakers. Malone was like 39 years old when he went to the Lakers. I have no doubt if Kobe had kept his pants up and Malone hadn't got hurt then Malone and the Lakers would have been champions.

It is a bummer for OKC but hey I don't feel too bad for them. They stole their franchise so Karma sucks. I believe Jazz have a legitimate shot at winning the division. GS is going to be incredible to watch.

If they don't win a ring in year 1 it will be the biggest blunder in NBA history. Can't wait for the Jazz to hand them that L.

Reminiscent of that Lakers team that added Payton and Malone to it
 
Yikes.

The only way to beat them now is to go big and try and pound the hell out of them inside.

The NBA needs to do something to stop this. These super teams kill competition and will kill ratings.

The NFL is so successful in large part to the parity. Everyone (except for Browns fans) feel like they have a chance.

Meanwhile, does anyone outside of Cleveland, San Antonio, and Oakland feel like they have a chance next year?

Man.. this kinda sucks. How we supposed to be competitive when superstar players hooking up other superstar players on their teams. And we're Utah, no superstar player in their right mind would actually decide to come here. Smh

The key is getting good draft picks and then hitting home runs in the draft.
Durant didn't choose gsw because of the city they chose gsw because they drafted Thompson, curry, and draymond.

Work, they went to the finals the first year and lost to Dallas then won two straight. GS has won only one title. You can say they choked but the title they won has an * because Cleveland was playing w/o Irving or Love. The reality is that Lebron went to Miami because he knew Wade was there and Bosh was coming with him. It is called free agency. Fans don't like it unless they end up getting the superstar(s).

Thompson when he's doing nothing but spotting up still has one of the strongest defensive gravities of any player in the league. Same with Curry. Same with Durant. That's really what this is about and what makes this so seismic.

I think there is a big difference.

He joined an established core that has already won a ring. Lebron joined a Heat team that was past it's good years and added Bosh (who also wasnt winning much).

I think the biggest thing people have a problem with is that the Thunder where up 3-1 on the Warriors and Durant choked teh series away in the clutch minutes of game 6. Now he is going to join the team that he lost to.

Yup
 
I am personally excited to watch another historic team next season. This doesn't really affect the Jazz, so I'm not bothered by it.

LBJ left a crap team to help build a good team. But Miami had to assemble the team and coaching staff. Durant is leaving a contender to go to the favorite. Big difference in my mind.

The whole point is who Lebron joined up with. Wade didnt just have one great year. He was a top5 player. Who had already won a ring and a finals MVP.

Lebron still bailed for a beter chance to win rings. He actually did it twice when he went to the Cavs. He wouldnt have went back there if they didnt have Kyrie and Wiggins to bargain with. People want to make him out to be a good guy for going back, but he essentially did the same thing again. He knew Wade was falling off. So he bailed. He knew Kyrie was a good player to team up with.

Durant is just smart enough to see that if he wants to win he has to out Lebron Lebron.
