I don't think Wade is a "Superteam star" anymore.
He isn't, but he is still a player who is still capable of playing at a high level and can determine the outcome of games when he's at his best. The issue now is that he isn't always at his best due to age and injuries.I don't think Wade is a "Superteam star" anymore.
Big difference between a 28 year old in his prime who has another top 10 player in his prime as a teammate leaving his team to join their arch rival that just beat them in 7 and a bunch of over the hill guys in their mid-30's joining up for a year or two.I don't remember a bunch of fags whining and crying when Payton and Malone joined Kobe and Shaq...same with Olajuwan, Barkley, Drexler, and Pippen when Drexler retired.
I have no issue with Durant.I don't remember a bunch of fags whining and crying when Payton and Malone joined Kobe and Shaq...same with Olajuwan, Barkley, Drexler, and Pippen when Drexler retired.
Probably because all those guys were at the back end of their careers. Are you seriously trying to compare 35+ year old, past their prime stars jumping ship to what KD did? Durant is in his prime. That's a huge difference.I don't remember a bunch of fags whining and crying when Payton and Malone joined Kobe and Shaq...same with Olajuwan, Barkley, Drexler, and Pippen when Drexler retired.
There are similarities...the Rockets were excellent for a couple years with those guys.Probably because all those guys were at the back end of their careers.

Olajuwon and Drexler were both retired 2 years later.Olajuwan, Barkley, and Drexler were outstanding...Hakeem averaged 23, Barkley 19/12, and Drexler with 18 and 6 assists. Far from being on their last legs.
Rockets were not excellent, they lost in the 1st round and Pippen was there 1 year.There are similarities...the Rockets were excellent for a couple years with those guys.
Apparently the only acceptable landing spot for Durant was OKC. I can already hear Durant getting blasted for signing with his hometown Wizards...OMG, he went to the lesser conference! He sucks!
They won 57 games the first year, started 21-2, lost to the Jazz in the conference finals.Rockets were not excellent, they lost in the 1st round and Pippen was there 1 year.
They finished 4th in the midwest the year before with 41-41 record.
Like I said not the same.
So somehow his dignity is in question because he signed with the Warriors. They have a great front office, a coach players want to play for, a young outstanding nucleus, and a great fan base.Big difference between a 28 year old in his prime who has another top 10 player in his prime as a teammate leaving his team to join their arch rival that just beat them in 7 and a bunch of over the hill guys in their mid-30's joining up for a year or two.
This is tantamount to Jordan leaving Pippen in 1989 to join the Pistons because he doesn't want to keep competing against them.
And are you calling me a fag?
If so it really demonstrates how much of a fucking true idiot you really are.
I can't speak for other Thunder fans but my issue is not that he decided to leave. My only issue is he took the cowardly way out and signed with a team that's considered his primary rival.There are similarities...the Rockets were excellent for a couple years with those guys.

Well, the Thunder did nothing to help. They fired Brooks, in large part, because the offense was too stagnant and relied greatly on isolation. Things did not change much with Donovan...minor tweaks, but still far too much isolation.I can't speak for other Thunder fans but my issue is not that he decided to leave.

There are different rules for superstars. Everybody knows this. That's why he's largely being killed.
What?They won 57 games the first year, started 21-2, lost to the Jazz in the conference finals.
Like I said...they were excellent.
Legit?Well, the Thunder did nothing to help. They fired Brooks, in large part, because the offense was too stagnant and relied greatly on isolation. Things did not change much with Donovan...minor tweaks, but still far too much isolation.
If I am the Lakers I call and offer Russell and Ingram for Westbrook. That would be interesting. OKC could try and get Gay from the Kings...at least that would be a legit SF to replace Durant.
What are you confused about? The 1996/7 team...their first year together...is what I was referencing.What?
They were 31-19 and lost to the Lakers in the 1st round.
I have been following the Rockets since Moses Malone, I watched them that year.

Like I said you are and continue to be wrong, they were 41-41 the year before nothing like what Durant is going into with G.S.
He is a legit starting SF. His contract is 2 years 27 mil...which is cheap considering current contracts.Legit?
You are the only person still overrating Gay, Sac would love to dump that contract on somebody.
