No, he's doing his job and helping the team.

He dindu nuffin

It's not his fault he plays in a crooked league with no real salary cap

It's simple

he's a pussy ass nigga.

He ruined any parity that was left in the NBA

He's from DC

He didn't do anything wrong objectively, he's just a giant bitch. Smart, maybe. But certainly a giant bitch.

>nba
>parity

Western Conference : Warriors or Spurs
Eastern Conference : LeBron's team

he did nothing wrong. He's a fucking beast.

Exactly. Now it's:

>Warriors

>[NBA ruining power gap]

>Spurs
>Cavs

>[Power gap]

>Everyone else

What fuckin parity? Lebron had been to the finals for like 7 of 8 of the previous finals before Durant did what he did.

>He dindu nuffin

He's a good boy turning his career around.

Only a coward joins their rival instead of rising to the occasion and finding a way to beat them.

Only an oblivious, deluded coward joins their rival and thinks they're hot shit for it.

Durant did all both of those things. He's a snake. He's a fake. He's a pussy. He's a coward.

This.

>Jordan joins the bad boy pistons

>implying his jew overlords don't tell him what to do

What? What are you implying?

Basically this. I'd be like if Lebron joined the Celtics, only this is still fucking worse because at least the Celtics were getting old. Curry, Klay, and Green are all still in their prime.

Lebron started it.

You can't float around creating super teams and not expect other players to start doing the same. Is the league somehow supposed to just hang out until lebron manufactures his 7 rings with stacked teams. You know this to be true.

Fuck Lebron James.

he's /ourguy/ now, fuck lebrick

This. Lebron is the original pussy ass coward.

Nothing here convinced me

I hate Lebron but thats wrong he went to Miami who basically only had Wade. Bosh decided to join them.

Durant left the second best team in the West to join the best team in the West with 3 allstars/1 MVP (whom he was close to beating in the WCF)

Yep.

Blame Lebron and blame Nike.

NBA is a joke.

Heat didn't make the playoffs the season before Lebron joined and they didn't make the playoffs the season after.

Durant joined a team that had already gone 73-9 without him the previous year. You can't compare these Warriors to the '11-'14 Heat. These Warriors are another tier of superteam altogether.

Kek. Those 3 planned that shit out. PUHleeze.

I'm done watching NBA until they're able do something about parity. I'm not saying make EVERY team competitive, but only having 2 competitive teams out of 30 is fucking bullshit. Any ideas on how they could do it?

A real salary cap.

NBA is rigged. They don't want to do it.

Yeah, that's not happening, especially with that fucking Jew as commish. Fuck this league. What's the best Euro league competition and talent wise. Might give that a chance.

>no real salary cap
Why didn't Cuckland sign Kevin Durant instead?

>Bosh decided to join them
lmao lecuck stans rewriting history and doling out excuses like clockwork

>everyone still thinks Miami's Big 3 was the very first superteam
>everyone still thinks "B-but he's started it!" is a legitimate excuse

first blatant superteam formed by players colluding instead of through drafts and trades
lebum shit the bed, and you're eating it for him

There literally is no real salary cap.

Cleveland was already fucking 50+ mil over the 'cap'.

it's a joke.

You convinced me that you are retarded

>KG, Pierce and Allen team up
>Lebron, Wade and Bosh team up
KD is simply following the meta to its logical conclusion. Dont hate the playa, hate the game.

>dirty globalist league is a pig circus

Is anyone really surprised?

>first blatant superteam formed by players colluding instead of through drafts and trades
Completely arbitrary. Is Durant's move better because no one besides maybe his agent and personal circle knew until Independence Day of last year?

>lebum shit the bed
If you're talking about Miami, I'll agree. Not getting a 3-peat out of that team was pretty shameful.
If you're talking about now, I'd probably...you know, wait until the series is over?

When Durant was on OKC the West had decent parity. OKC, San Antonio, Golden State, and even teams like LAC and Memphis all put together decent runs over the last six years. Golden State last year broke the NBA regular season record going 73-9. Durant and the Thunder were up 3-1 over Golden State in the Western Conference Finals. Durant proceeded to have one of the worst playoff games of his career in game 6, their last home game and best chance to close out the series. After that, Durant left his team, a contending team that could have easily dethroned Golden State, to join the very team that eliminated him and de facto best team in basketball. He ruined parity, and displayed that he has no desire to compete against the best and beat the best. He really is a pussy ass bitch.

Golden State's entire core was DRAFTED
Kevin Durant is their only major free agent
I like his move way more than how LeBron jumps from handpicked superteam to handpicked superteam

he left to get away from worstbrook

now the thunder can be the AI Sixers without him and reach the same success

Why are you americans such socialist assholes?

Fine, then. Guess we're never gonna see eye-to-eye on this.

Brcause we don't have 35 different leagues.

He cucked the Celtics last summer

>P-please Adam Silver, overregulate the league some more, enhance the socialism, reeeeeeeeeeee, my team sucks, p-please Mr. Silver, here fuck my anus, fuck free market, reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, Karl Marx 4lyfe-

>people upset that the best players are going to the best teams

Goddamn, Americans and their "sports" are so fucking pathetic. Enjoy your eternal irrelevancy

>KD stays in OKC for ever and retires ringless
>AHAHAHA WHAT A FUCKING LOSER, MORE LIKE SERVANT AM I RIGHT XD ROFL

Ridiculous

Either get more leagues, or install a real salary cap.

NBA is turning into Globetrotters v. Generals

serious question - what would be the difference between 'real' salary cap & nba's current system?

reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

>>KD stays in OKC for ever and retires ringless
Thanks, legendary Brazilian soothsayer.

Lack of parity and super teams being a new thing in the NBA is a bullshit.
NBA has been dominated by super teams virtually since it's inception.


Lakers dominated the 50s
Celtics dominated the 60s
70s might be only era there was parity
Celtics and Lakers dominated the league in the 80s
Bulls were untouchable in the 90s
Lakers owned 2000s

and now we have the current NBA the way it is being dominated by 1-2 teams, nothing changed and nothing new

This

All built not bought

Everyone knows that superstar players win championships and the league has always been top heavy. That doesn't change the fact that Durant leaving OKC for Golden State greatly diminished league parity.

Why does the most capitalistic country in the world have the most regulated and socialistic sports leagues?

He didn't do anything wrong, just something that is looked down upon

this faggot LeBitch voted for Hillary Clinton. I don't know why faggots on Sup Forums root for this guy. Must be liberals.

because we don't have 20 leagues spread out over 2 continents like divegrass

You know what greatly diminished league parity?
LeBron calling up two All-Stars to go to Miami, and then again to go back to Cleveland
Don't forget he went to the finals for 7 (Seven!) straight years without any competition in the East

Lakers bought Wilt, Kareem, and Shaq
you can even throw Jamaal Wilkes in there, who was an Allstar for GSW and left to join Kareem and Magic

It's LeBron's fault that the Magic couldn't build a winning team and the Big 4 Celtics got old and the Nets fucked up with them, too?

KD suddenly doesn't deserve to be looked down upon for crippling one of the two teams that could hang with the Warriors?

Also, not very comparable situations.

not an argument

Nigga just look at their cap now
It will take like 2 or 3 years just to offload all that shit

I would have respected him if he had gone to the Wizards and built a team around him and Wall, like Lebron did with the Heat. Not this bullshit we have now.
He literally chose the EASIEST way out. I hope the Cavs find a way of stopping this faggots again desu

The answer is because it IS a capitalist country Hans.

Think about it. The owners are more powerful capitalists than the players are. There's your answer. That's what capitalism actually is.

Two differences

1) Those teams were created the "normal" way (trades, drafts)

2) Prior to the 2010s, none of the players were nu-males. Now whiny smug beta nu-male sissy millennial faggot culture is prevalent. Why would anyone like teams made up of these kinds of """people"""?

Yep. In theory any of the players are free to start their own competing league.

It's KD's fault that LeBron couldn't build a winning team and the Spurs got old and the Celtics fucked up with them, too?

LeBron suddenly doesn't deserve to be looked down upon for crippling an entire conference that could hang with the West?

Also, not very comparable situations.

We went from OKC losing in 7 to the Warriors and the Warriors winning in the Finals in 6 to Warriors sweeping the west and winning the finals in 5.

Its the same fucking thing

Yeah LeBron, greatest SF of all time, teaming up with Wade, top 5 SG of all time, and Bosh, a perennial all star wasn't choosing the EASIEST way out
>Not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6...

>teaming up with 3 great players
>teaming up with 5 great players

What Durant did surpasses what Lebron did.

>It's KD's fault that LeBron couldn't build a winning team
He did, though, regardless of how you want to spin it.
>and the Spurs got old
The Spurs looked great, it's just that they were eliminated twice before ever facing the Warriors and then the Warriors got them at half-strength.
and the Celtics fucked up with them, too?
?

>LeBron suddenly doesn't deserve to be looked down upon for crippling an entire conference that could hang with the West?
>Also, not very comparable situations.
How? He didn't and couldn't, imo. Who else is getting out of the East besides Boston and Cleveland if LeBron didn't make his decision and Rose's glass legs stayed glass?

Let's take a look at some of these match ups according to /nba/
Lebron > KD
Kyrie > Steph
Love > Draymond
TT > Zaza
JR < Klay
Something isn't adding up. Could it be that /nba/ was wrong the whole time?
Yes

I think you're agreeing with him.

>yfw everyone expects KD to wait around until Lebron is done winning his 9 championships with his own superteams

Fuck that noise. KD went out and got his finals MVP and ring.

Better question is...if the NBA doesn't suspend green and dubs close out the cavs in 5 last year...do the warriors even get KD? Or do they just re-up barnes?

>yfw 3-1 was the catalyst for the goat roster

I know I just want Sup Forums to realize how hard they're getting BTFO after bandwagoning Cleveland all year

everytime I see durrcant's face I think of this song

youtube.com/watch?v=Nx9W2XihE24

He lied. He went to the U of T. There is two.

NBA had never had parity since I started watching in the early 90s. Can't speak about before but it seems like the Celtics and Lakers traded trophies the decade before that.

Superteams aren't new either. They're just shoved down your throat now due to 24/7 news and social media coverage.

let's stop pretending the previous year was comparable before bronbron and bosh joined. They were instantly favorites to win the finals once the contracts were signed

That's like saying the cavs were shit before James returned from Miami. They kept like three fucking players from the previous season roster, making any comparisons null and void.

>I want every team to be equally shit!
Parity is the worst thing to happen to a sports league

Now tell me about parity in the eastern conference.

nope. Kd has said he wouldn't have gone there if they didn't show a vulnerability in their game (they had no reliable scoring strategy when the shot wasn't falling)

He did literally nothing wrong. He and Lebron did the same exact thing.

>player leaves a successful team to join up with a better team and have an even better chance at winning the Finals

Just because he joined the Warriors it makes no difference. When Lebron joined the Heat he did so because it was his best possible option. If he could have joined an even more stacked team he would have in a second. KD doesn't give a shot about some stupid "rivalry" that you idiots are talking about. He saw a great opportunity and jumped on it.

leafy kike

>He's a fake
nope

>He's a pussy
Probably, most athletes are

>He's a coward
A coward would have stayed in OKC

>Durant left the second best team in the West

Maybe in 2012 lol

salary caps are meaningless you fucking commie faggot kill yourself LMAO

You can only go over the cap if you re-sign players that were on your roster before you went over the cap.
Also you have to pay the tax and essentially lose half the profits from that year.

It should be like baseball. These owners are billionaires and can afford it. Artificial salary caps are un-American and lead to these oh-so-scary lack of ''parity''

>Bosh decided to join the

lol seriously? There was no way in hell Lebron was joining that team unless he was already 100% sure Bosh was going as well. Same thing with Love going to the Cavs. After Lebron left Cleveland the first time there is no chance Lebron will ever play for a team that's no the number one favorite to win the championship. That's why he was crying mid-season about not having enough talent on his team even though they dominated the entire eastern conference easily.

If GSW sweeps the Cavs there's a strong chance LeBron joins the Clippers to play with Paul and possibly Griffin.

He did EXACTLY what Lebron did with the Heat and the Cavs. Lebronsexuals will conveniently forget this.

HE'S COMING HOME

I hope they Warriors sweep the cavs in 20+ point game blowouts, with them styling on them at the end with cross court alleyoops and a dunk exhibition.

Well, he did it in about the best way you can do it.

LeBron did it in just about the worst way you can do it. That's the difference and one of the reasons why people rightfully hate LeBron.

The should beat them in Game 4 shooting nothing but 3's just to piss off Lebronsexuals.

Too true. People are fucking stupid.
