Odds are he probably does leave after this.In that case it would make sense to trade him to at least get something back. |

Oh I think there are definitely teams out there that are desperate enough to take a chance on losing Russ after a year, teams that are desperate for any kind of star power. Mavs,Bucks,Lakers ect |

| I don't give two shits about KD... All I care about is the Heat resigning Wade, and that's that. |
| Kevin Durant is like a 1 on 1 player while i watch him so its gonna be interesting how he will fit in a passing system like the Warriors have but if he succeed in the Warriors system then the Warriors will become a dynasty in the near future |
| This is the best consolation prize ever lmao. We gonna be champoonship. -Leandro Barbosa |
| welllll this has been quite an offseason. AND ITS NOT EVEN OVER! JustALEX said: I don't give two shits about KD... All I care about is the Heat resigning Wade, and that's that.  |

| KD to the bay is an awesome move. As a guy born and raised in the bay, I can't wait to see him play. |
| OK....I didn't want to do a Rant....but I will. KD going to Golden State is pretty damn PATHETIC of him. So, I know what you're going to say, "But aren't you a Heat fan, didn't Lebron do what KD is doing?" NO! Lebron came to a Heat team that was mediocre (at best) in 2010....he came to join a team that at the time was only Wade and a bunch of scrubs. At the end of the day though.....Lebron was still the GO TO GUY in Miami, when Lebron came here, Wade knew he would have to take a backseat. KD is going to a team that literally just posted the BEST regular season record in the HISTORY of Basketball. THEY DO NOT NEED HIM!!!! And more than that....KD's team was UP 3-1 against these guys....he had THREE chances to beat them and move on to the Finals. I mean, think if Curry was a Free Agent, lost to the Cavs after being up 3-1 and then JOINED the Cavs for the next season. WHAT?! Fucking WEAK! I may DISLIKE Stephen A Smith a lot, but what he said today about KD is 100% on the money. Oh and HERE is the WORST part about everything that happened today: http://www.upi.com/Sports_News/NBA/2016/07/04/Hypocritical-Kevin-Durant-roasted-on-social-media/1081467653752/ ^Look at all the shit he said back in 2010 about Lebron and the Free Agency back then. FUCK YOU KD! |
| The thing I love most is how everyone was saying how crappy the Warriors were, how overrated they are, how none of their players are in the top 10, and all that other stuff. Now KD signs with Warriors and everyone is losing their damn minds. "He is going to the 73-9 team!" "He is going with the unanimous MVP!" "He is going to a team with 3 all-stars." Funny how quickly everyone went from saying the Warriors were a shitty team to saying how Durant going to the Warriors is pathetic. And this isn't so much directed at the people on MAL, more so the people on Facebook and Bleacher Report. Again, this doesn't guarantee any championships. Even the LeBron/Wade/Bosh Heat team was only 2/4 in the finals. |

This decision from KD is far more selfish and desperate than Lebron's, the latter was tired of consecutively carrying a mediocre team on his back for years, and made a reasonable choice by opting to join Miami (another mediocre team at the time). KD on the other hand opted to join a historic team that won the championship last year, and knocked him out of the playoffs this year. A team that can very well win without him, as stated by the owner himself; yet he was still persuaded by such a simplistic proposition. OKC was also making moves to maintain him as well, he even said he was pleased that they acquired Oladipo and Sabonis. At the end of the day, it's his decision but I'm ultimately disappointed by it; especially after being strung along with the long build-up. |

| Two most interesting signings for me so far this offseason gotta be Mozgov (as a delusional Lakers fan) and Durant (intrigued to see GSW's starting lineup go to work). The upcoming season, and more so 2017 playoffs, couldn't come any sooner! Honestly, if it's not Dirk Nowitzki or the Lakers I really couldn't care less who's taking home championship hardware over these coming years. Could be the Celtics. Could be Alex's team (you the man and real MVP of this thread!). Could be LeBron and that madman Irving. But I'll take GSW over the other options to pile on wins until the Lakers become relevant again maybe next decade... haha |

I wasn't insulting LeBron or defending Durant in terms of forming a superteam, I was saying how forming a superteam doesn't guarantee a championship. For instance, just because Warriors have Curry/Klay/Dray/Durant it doesn't mean they will win a championship in the same way LeBron/Wade/Bosh didn't win a championship each year. Injuries could happen, lack of chemistry, etc. |
|
| So, when is the new thread cumming up? I mean the 2015-16 season is long over haha. |
| sic mundus |
| Wade is killing us. Not gonna accept our 2yr- 40mil offer. Really hard picturing him leaving but.. He's really killing our future here. |
| Dirk is so loyal a rare thing in today's NBA. Love ya Dirk!!! |
| @TheDevilsLuck Bruh..... Paul George and Al Jefferson on the same roster??? They just might be the second biggest beast of the East. Al was the one that was carrying the Hornets this season with Kemba. |
| Add David West to the bandwagon. He's signing with the Warriors for the vet minimum. Ring chasing at its finest lol |
| Wade seems to be joining the Cavs, I like it. Also, Lovin this shit |
crashinho said: Not happening. Pat won't let him leave. Not to mention Wade wouldn't get as much money even if LeBron took a paycut. Miami can offer more.Wade seems to be joining the Cavs, I like it. Also, Lovin this shit |
lmaoooo |
| The Heat REALLY fucked everything up in this Wade thing... If they had given him the goddamn $20 million from the start, he probably would've accepted it and there'd be no more problem. Now, that they played hardball and Wade called their bluff he wants $25 million and the fucking Nuggets of all people are supposedly willing to pay him that. Wade is NOT worth that much money....no fucking way! But he means a LOT to the Heat and the city of Miami, if the Heat let him go, the fans will be VERY, VERY disappointed. They really fucked this up big time. I'm starting to think Wade might leave, because the Heat don't want to fucking pay....unreal. |
| Interested in what OKC does with Westbrook now. They've gotta be pretty nervous if they cant lock him down to an extension and risk losing him. Would they trade him to make up for not getting anything in return for KD or roll the dice on playoffs? @JustAlex heard on espn earlier he wanted a 3 year/50 million dollar deal last offseason. Knowing the cap.. Riley must feel some regret now that Cleveland is involved. LeBron could effectively return the favor and take less for his bud. I'm glad he cancelled the Bucks meeting, that was just a waste of time / leverage |
| Lol @ Denver offering Wade 50mil. Wade wants the Durant money from us, no way in hell that's happening. |
| Just when you think GSW couldn't get anymore stronger, now they also got West.. and for a bargain lol Pachulia, Green, Durant, Thompson, Curry Jones, West, Iguodala, Barbosa, Livingston Your 2017 NBA Champions.. the Golden State Warriors! I guess the only intriguing part about next season is who gets to play GSW and Cavs in the conference finals.. |
Fumito said: It's either screwing Wade or screwing the whole franchise. They only have 19M left on their cap space and if they give Wade the 2 yr. 50M then they're going to be just your average team for years to come. An aging Wade and Whiteside plus a bunch of scrubs won't even reach the 2nd round of playoffs. Heat is in a lose-lose situation.But think about it, the Heat really did screw up by disrespecting Wade, trying to offer him 10mil a year after all his past pay-cuts and success with the team. Not to mention he played out of his mind this year's playoffs. He should really leave, fuck the Heat; he was the one to lift that organization to prominence anyway. |
| a wade and james reunion sounds pretty cool even though i could care less for cleveland since they are close friends, i also think he would go there for less money actually that's a lot less money since cap space limits what they can offer wade unless they trade KL which probably isn't going to happen lol |

As much as I hate the warriors atp tbh I'm still skeptical on this one I mean the blueprint to defeat this GSW has been exposed now about having been destroyed in the paint worst is that they just got rid of their only 2 legit rim protectors, Pachulia can't even guard the rim to save his life in Dallas last season, what GSW need this season is a legit rim protector like Bogut then we can talk about them being the greatest team next season. |

| Wow, Jazz got Boris Diaw for practically nothing! :O Also signed Joe Johnson. O.o Have no clue why Joe picked Utah of all places. Never remotely thought that he'd consider here. Actually having a competent bench this year is gonna be a good thing for sure. |
 |
| damn Kevin Durant will fit right in to the Warriors system according to this |
| Haha people are sleeping on the Spurs again. I like it. I agree with sman that super teams don't guarantee championships. Specially with the Warriors, since they were that good of team already, it'll be interesting to see just how much better Durant will make them. He will also require a lot more offensive plays than Barnes and that it bound to somewhat change the Warriors offense and ball movement. Just trying to look for some positives in this bullshit. -_- lol you can easily tell Nick is way too happy Durant joined the Warriors. He even said Durant can be as good as kawhi defensively smh. |
WindSpeaks said: lol you can easily tell Nick is way too happy Durant joined the Warriors.

| Have some of you people been drinking bleach.....pls STOP! How the fuck could Wade go to Cleveland if they don't have anywhere near $25 million to give him, much less $60 million which is what he wants for 3 years.... |
| Ray Allen reportedly eyeing a comeback and is interesting in the Warriors, Cavs, Spurs, and Clippers. Hope he signs with the Cavs at least. But knowing him...probably gonna be the Warriors. Would hate to see one of my favorite players on this Warrior team. |

| Apparently Wade is serious about Bulls. Heat can't get rid of McRobberts with a 2nd round pick. Only way to get rid of him is probably a future 1st, Richardson, or Winslow. Too much trouble, if he wants to be petty then he can go. He is messing with this teams future. |
Goodbye Wade. =/. Fuck man... |
| Dwade to bulls? Damn. RIP Miami |

| Ha. Team Banana boat act one. |
| So the day many Heat fans have dreaded is finally here... I'm going to try to be as rational as I can when talking about this... First and foremost, Wade is the Heat, before Wade was drafted the Heat could never take the next step, in the 13 years Wade was here the Heat made the playoffs 11 of those years, went to 5 NBA Finals and won 3 Championships. So all Heat fans should know what he meant to the team and the city. Pat Riley is going to be skewered by Heat fans....more of them will blame him than Wade. There is no doubt in my mind that Wade does NOT deserve the money he was asking for....not for all the injuries he's had and not while he is in his twilight years. And the last thing I want is for the Heat to turn into the Lakers. I am a HEAT fan first and I will NOT bash Pat Riley for this. Pat is the MAIN reason why there are 3 World Title banners in our arena. I trust Pat Riley. I'm very grateful for the 13 years Wade gave the Heat, I wish him the best of luck and I don't feel resentment. Go Heat! They will always be my team. |
 The Heat are gonna have a better record next year anyway. |
