Why ?
You think if he wins just one for the nets it won't be huge for him personally and the franchise?

Honestly,I thought that since the warriors couldn't beat the raptors without him that should validate his move to the world.

His agent has a huge role in this I think the dude is from New York.
LeBron started this rubbish with his klutch sport.
What of the over $50mil he left on the table. I can see why he would leave Golden State but it would be much better if he did so in his own terms and not because of how he was perceived

If he fails to win a ring with the Nets the narrative would be even worse

Thank God you agreed LeNomad started everything

There simply no way of knowing why he left.
Seeing as how him staying still won't stop the "fork kd" tweet. For all we know this was always the plan.

I think he gets his 50million with the sign and trade with Russell.

If truly KD is signing with the NETS, then he's affected by the criticism.

If not, why would you leave

1. Steph/Klay for Kyrie
2. Winning org for ....
3. Huge payday for lesser



Don't necessarily agree. First the NETS are building a winning culture and he can help to make that happen. Second kyrie is his friend and if he prefers to play with his friend that's his prerogative.
As for money it depends on how you look at it. Apart from the 5th year(which would have been a team option anyway) the yearly average for the four years is nearly the same give or take $2mil and if you take into account that all his business interests are headquartered in new york then it is seems logical that he moves over there

Brousard and his fellow Lebron media lovers are praying and waiting for Kawhi to join Lakers.

Even here, guys like steady, etc are happy with Kawhi potentially joining AD and Lebron.

That's where KD goofed.

Same people that criticized him wants 3 of the top 6 players in one team cos its Lebron.

Mehn..

Anyway, we have another useless season coming.

No self respecting elite level player would derive any joy playing with a megalomaniac like LeNomad. You could win titles and never get your due credit no matter how much you contributed because LeNomad would still take all the glory.

I hope Kawhi does not make that mistake. If he leads Toronto or the Clippers to another chip we might be discussing not LeNomad but Kawhi and KAJ as the runner up to MJ'S GOAT status


So kyrie/wade did not get their due during their championship runs. Kyrie/wade got the same respect pippen/gasol/tony Parker/ got during the times they won.

Nobody is hating on KD anymore. In fact we now love him for ditching the Warriors. We all know the hate started when he joined the Warriors, and it has now come to an end with this sweet move.
Clown ass. Like KD cares.

All of them have been wrong. ALL. Only thing Woj gets right is final decisions are communicated via him first.

Chris swore KD was going to Knicks. Now they have come out to pretend he was not offered the max. That was a lie. Even in the Nets KD is not getting the max.

They swore Kawhi was never considering Lakers. Later claimed it was his 3rd choice. Now he has switched to rumblings. Which is another daft lie.

The same people have sworn Kawhi bought a house in Toronto..and how the Clippers was ideal for him. Later said he was planning with KD. All have fallen through. Now pretending Lakers is his top choice when it was clear why he insisted on speaking with Magic first.

KD got maxed out by the nets. That was one of his irrefutable stance from the beginning of last season and that is he will not take a penny less than what he can get

It's funny how the two people you claimed were in good terms with the Warriors get traded. That means all your takes about the KD and Iggy situations have all been BS.
So if a player signs with another via free agency or get traded it means their on bad terms?? I doubt you actually know anything about basketball other than slob on LeBron's knob. And BS? What BS? What matters as a fan to me is, I don't bítch about another grown man's business and life choices he made let alone do it for 3yrs. KD could sign with the Lakers and my only concern would be that no one may stand a chance but I wouldn't bítch about it.


You lebtards will never learn or stand for anything.
Now you don't hate KD but if the Lakers didn't get any free agent and he went to the nets you'd still do. Isn't that madness?

Lol, look who's questioning my basketball knowledge. That's the thing you always say when hit with the truth, I've noticed the pattern so I'm not surprised.

It's a wonderful coincidence that KD ditches the Warriors and Igoulala is ditched by the Warriors. What a coincidence. grin

Again you're still missing the point. I'm saying presently any elite level player with an alpha mentality will not want to join a team set up for LeNomad to be the main guy especially at this point in their careers so why should Kawhi after this monster postseason join LeNomad when the league is his right now

I can expect such moves from AD and others without a chip but not the likes of Kawhi and KD who are in direct conversation for best player on the planet.

Lmaooo Bill Russell averaged less than 16pts per game. Get out of here with that!!
Wow, so AD is not in the conversation for best player in the league? And he constantly is referred to as a top five player in this league. And he is even ranked higher than your MVP Giannis. Lol. Ok

PS
Anybody who thinks Giannis is better than AD is really high on some crack.

If you've been following my posts I've actually be saying that I'd prefer it if the Lakers use that dough and create a good squad rather than getting another superstar. But if getting another superstar would piss my enemies to death, I'm all for it. grin

You didn't make sense hence my reply. And now you still didn't make any sense. I can't help you. I see the pattern here. Everyone replying is having a hard time trying to help you understand this simple basketball. I can't help you if you think a player being traded and another signing to another team via free agency means they were on bad terms. This is shallow man sad

Clippers wouldn't win a title any time soon


Raptors were lucky that GSW had many injuries at the right time

Wonder what kwahi is deliberating about

I don't see any problem playing with James

If you don't want to be in his shadow, outscore him and outshine him simple

James is already a great, he just need more titles to cement his legacy
Re: The NBA Begins by iamJ(m): 12:48pm On Jul 01, 2019
I remember saying that KD was leaving, some people were laughing

Who is laughing now


Butler is too controversial for Lakers

D Angelo is a big no no

It's kwahi or burst



So new york went from a dream of kyrie, KD and Williamson to getting nothing

He does not get $50M. He gets $38M. He and Kyrie took pay cuts for De Andre to get paid.
