Kevin Durant joins Golden State Warriors

[Adam Driver]

He joins up with curry, Thompson, green, and rest of the supporting cast.
Warriors lose Andrew bogut but are able to keep majority of their core players.

Durant signs a 2 year $53 mil contract.


Lil b drops his curse lol.
It's hard to see this team not winning a championship.

 

[Jiren]

Man thats one OP team.

 

[Styles]

Meanwhile Harrison Barnes and possibly Bogut/Ezeli goes to Dallas.

Though I fell KD will opt out with his player's option for a max next year.

 

[Monxstaa]

Lol gg gsw will be too op next season

 

[CloyEscapade]

The Warriors have now become the empire

 

[Aominecchi]

There have been teams like these
Lakers with Nash, Kobe, Artest, Gasol si Dwight
or Boston in 2011 Rondo, Allen, Pierce, Kg si Shaq
And things did not work out as planned
We have to wait and see
Although KD made the best decision for him I still hate the fact that he left OKC to join those who beat him this year...
If this team works out it will not be fun to watch basketball....in the west conference at least...

 

[Styles]

It's gonna be hard for them to coexist someone is gonna have to give up some stats and touches.

 

[WalksInShadows]

it's fair to say that, but i don't believe GS's chances still aren't that great if it costs them good rim protection. Anybody who watched the Finals saw how good having all the 3 ball shooters in the world did for GS without rim protection when those shots weren't going down. Should both teams get back there and Kyrie isn't injured, it's just as likely that the same thing can or will happen.

Exactly what i'm saying on MMB. Without Bogut Cleveland had a field day going to the rim in that series.

Nah I strongly believe this gsw team would put on a clinic against current Cleveland team.

It's true gsw had a problem keeping Cleveland off the glass in the finals but I'd put my money on gsw if Cleveland needed to rely on their rebounding to win a series and this Durant addition will add more problems to any team because now if you're gsw you are spreading the floor like a mf. I believe Klay will more than likely come off the bench with that second unit which has shown to be amazing this past season with him starting the second with curry on the bench. It gives the bench a huge boost if Klay comes off the bench but their team is so deep throughout that roster that just about anything they do will have an advantage against the opposition.

Really significant given that gsw had the best bench the past two years

 

[ToshiZO]

The only reason Warriors lost to begin with is shots they made all year weren't dropping. Really that simple, it didn't have anything to do with Clevelands defense, they faced tougher defenses, OKC had much better defense, yet they got bombarded with ridiculous shot after ridiculous shot, against Cleveland Curry and Klay couldn't even hit open 3s.

Losing to Cleveland was a blessing in disguise though, it gave Kantwin Durant an excuse to go to them.

All of this is true but without an extra rebounder only green is there to clean up the glass really. Against say OKC who was the best rebounding team in the league this season I think if they went head to head now yea GS might win but OKC would clean the glass by a large margin possibly. Now not saying they're gonna suck but if their shots aren't falling which might not happen with 3/4 good shooters no one is there to clean up the misses. Get what i'm saying? Lol

 

[OG sama]

I trust that GS will find some centers soon, I hear Speights might be coming back.(more of a power forward though)

Lol @ Based God, I knew he would lift the curse but I bet even he didn't realize KD to GS would happen.

If the warriors get a center and a back C, he doesn't even have to be tier 1, its a wrap for the rest of he league.

They're going to be an NBA dynasty, only injuries are stopping this team.

 

[Osmon]

He played himself.

 

[Risuna23]

Seeing this happen to the Thunder scares me that it could happen to my wolves in the future :NO::NO::NO:

 

[Ghost in the Shell]

Four top twenty players in the same team, including two of the top three best right now who coincidentally may end up as two of the most prodigious scoring talents in history in Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant. Not to mention Klay Thompson, a top two shooting guard in the league who is one of the best shooters ever and is a great defender, and Draymond Green, a swiss-army knife who is consistently a DPOY candidate. They still have pseudo-starters Livingston and Iguodala, and replaced Bogut with Zaza Pachulia, who was nearly an All-Star last year. Barbosa is probably coming back to try and win another title, and apparently other free agents have expressed interest in taking league minimum contracts with them to try and win a championship.

I'll be damned if anything like this ever happens again in the NBA, because the current collective bargaining agreement is surely going to be replaced with a new one soon in light of this sheer madness.

Jerry West, Bob Myers, and the rest of the Warriors front office/basketball operations department have become death, destroyer of worlds. May the Lords have mercy on the NBA.

(Celtics in six u_u)

 

[Desiigner]

Mfw they didn't allow CP3 to the Lakers but allow this. Lmao, they wild.
Let's wait how it'll work out though

 

[Jazzy Stardust]

i hate this a lot

 

[Osmon]

Timberwolves have a really good future and have potential. Wiggins, LaVine, Towns, Rubio, KG (even tho he is past his prime).

 

[Forbidden Technique]

Weak ass move by Durant, but they ain't touching my Knicks so it's all good u_u
