And if you don't care about legacy, you're not a true fan
apologist and gatekeeping in one post. solid.
No, i don't see it as any worse than, say, the Heatles. Or begging to trade your entire team to get one of the 5 best in the league. And still trying to get others.
Also, i don't care, because i really only care about the Spurs. And we used to have a great team. And now we don't. And it looks like we are heading for a rebuild, because i read a DdR to the Lakers story the other day (i would trade him for the right price).
This is the player power era. Super teams are going to happen every year. I don't give a shit. I just find it hilarious that a person's perception of the trade is based on who they like and who they don't like. And who they beat in the process.
Ddr for who? Lakers don't have many pieces to trade!
the bits coming the other way were a bit shit, so hopefully the story was bullshit. DDR would need to get traded for picks IMO.

I find it odd that you don't think any of us are capable in assessing a trade outside our personal personal preferences. Because I absolutely LOVED Curry. Still really like him. Was just gutted when he recruited KD. I also loved that team before KD. Klay is one of my all time favs, I loved Iggy, Bogut, even Draymond was less of a fuckwit.

Surely LAs picks wouldn't be great, especially if they related to the next couple of years?

so, for all that, why the hate for getting a good player? I don't get it. All those guys were still there. A good team did what any good organisation does, and gets the best players available. I've never understood why people have hated them for doing what they would absolutely love their team to do. Build from the draft, play unbelievable basketball, trade in the best players available, and win rings.
I really enjoyed watching that Warriors team play. A team full of very good players (and two absolute superstars) still playing team-orientated basketball, sharing the rock and moving for each other. Great to watch.
I like Curry, seems like a very good dude. And, from what i see, very unassuming for one of the very best in the world. I really hope he comes back and plays well this year

It was great basketball, I agree with that. But boy was it unfair. I just dislike seeing a team so far ahead of all opposition that the competition becomes a forgone conclusion.
I actually dont mind GSW at all now, Draymond is a bit more of a fuckwit, though his TV is pretty funny. And I certainly have respect for their front office. And I still like the way they play. As I mentioned at some point, the draft rules annoy me because I dont they deserved the #2 pick, but that's not their fault entirely.

@voodoo “unfair” in that the Cavs with their 2 stars plus a 20/10 guy and a bunch of supporting cast pieces were also in the NBA finals? 😎
I’ll give KD credit, he did get his GM to cry on international TV for him 😀

Unless you get an "open letter" about you, published on the internet, and written in comic sans, you're just an amateur...

the more i read, the more i want Harden to the Nets to happen. It would be delicious, and the ratings would be enormous

I just said exactly that on another discussion forum. They could be absolutely anything, and it will be great to watch either way.
If it doesn't happen, Harden for Embiid would be great too

Maybe, but that's a lopsided trade - incredible for Philly, but a shocker for Houston. Imagine playing Rusty and Simmons together, the spacing would be non-existent

at least with Simmons it will end their overreliance on the 3...

Or even mid range jump shots

@voodoo Horford and a scrub for Harden? fuck, make it happen!

Blasphemy...
Harden is gone and there’s only a couple of options that have the space and who Harden will entertain. Would love the Philly trade for Harden. The Nets option I’m not a fan of. For the betterment of the NBA, D’Antoni and Harden need to be split up

I don't want him to go to the Nets because it will ultimately result in Sean Marks losing his job! I'm not convinced Harden can be more than a statistical scoring success. Can he headline a championship team? If he can it won't be Brooklyn. Too many negative vibes and only one rock

Sorry, I should have been clear, its just a 4 person whatsapp chat. It means nothing to me, honestly. I must have been drunk when I joined it! 😁
