July 5, 201610 yr While the league owned the team. See? I had forgotten that little important piece also. Now I am even angrier.
July 5, 201610 yr Can anyone answer a question I have on this? Why was CP3 to the Lakers denied but not this? Wasn't Paul a free agent when he wanted to go to LA? CP3 and the Lakers crossed my mind when I heard Durant was going to Golden State as well. While different circumstances, I definitely thought about it and wondered what @PurplePride92 was thinking.
July 5, 201610 yr Warriors also made a sneaky little unnoticed move to get Zaza Pachulia....Gives them a big to throw in the 5 spot when needed.
July 5, 201610 yr I take back some things I may have said about Lebron when he went to Miami. If I was a player, and could get paid top dollar, I'd want to do it with the team that gave me the best chance to win a title.
July 5, 201610 yr The real loser in all of this has to be the Dallas Mavericks. They just paid Harrison Barnes $94 million over 4 years.
July 5, 201610 yr Love this for KD. He's going to thrive with Klay and Steph. Russ to the Celtics makes a lot of sense, but so does LA. I can't imagine he stays in OKC much longer. I can't wait to watch the NBA this season. There are going to be nights where GS is going to truck teams like we've never witnessed before.
July 5, 201610 yr Remember that time OKC got an NBA franchise by stealing it out from under the people in Seattle? Yeah, sentimentality is dead in American professional sports, or at least it should be. He'll go chase his ring and I'm cool with that.

Furthermore, Clay Bennett losing a top-3 player in the league with zero compensation. Awesome... I bet some people in Seattle have been smiling quite a bit.
July 5, 201610 yr Durant likes to get his share of shots. With Curry and Thompson having the same thinking will there be enough basketballs in games to satisfy everyone?

July 5, 201610 yr Durant likes to get his share of shots. With Curry and Thompson having the same thinking will there be enough basketballs in games to satisfy everyone? Same was said with the Heat
July 5, 201610 yr Ultimately how these things work is someone takes a huge drop off in production. Bosh and Love were those guys in the Heat and Cavs situation, respectively. I see Durant getting his 28, Klay averaging around 18, and Curry dropping down to the low 20s and seeing the largest decrease in point production.... more in line with his typical averages.
