Add JR to that Kings team and it is the greatest entertainment the league has ever seen.
 
Take how it felt for us as Cavs fans with LeBron in 2009-2010 and Love this year.

Then multiple it by two.

That's how its going to feel as an OKC fan this year.

8-12 teams and fanbases acting like they have a legit shot to take Durant away from you(LAL,LAC, GS, WAS, DAL, HOU, TOR, PHO, NYN, BOS)

Every loss magnified, every Westbrook/Durant spat or sideglance magnified, people revisiting the Harden trade, and every postgame conversation Durant has with a star on another team.

Hell even if they win and win big like we did this year, the talk will still be just as loud.

I legit feel bad for that fanbase.

Would you trade JR and a future pick to SAC for Rich Paul client Ben McLemore?

Hypothetical of course, hard to believe the Kings would even consider it.
 
Rondo asked for a shooter... Dirk and Parsons were not enough...

Rondo and Cousins together.

:chuckle:

Two guys who approach every day like they are about to eat a homeless woman's vajay jay.

LeBron was Cleveland.. I don't think it's the same for Durant, who already missed most of a season and watched Westbrook take a serious run at MVP.

I don't think the OKC situation is really comparable because as bad as the Cavaliers were managed under Ferry, we were really doomed by previous events - things that happened before he was ever the GM.

With the Thunder, well, ownership pretty much shit-canned their entire franchise's future. Durant is as good as gone according to most reports, and it's not because of the weather, city, etc; it's not to go off to "college," but because ownership is cheap, and is not willing to spend what it takes to compete in the NBA.

So I don't feel sorry for them.

I feel sorry for Seattle.. But not OKC.
 
Maybe Clips would part with Reddick if it meant getting a 3-team deal worked out where we trade Haywood for parts going back to them (a big, and another guard)?

EDIT: I see Windhorst follows me on RCF. ;)

Long term I don't feel sorry for them but just remembering the day to day social media aspect and media aspect of 2009-2010, as a fan and with them not being a team or city that we have a rivalry with or hatred towards, I sympathize with them.

Then again, for all we know, if fully healthy this year, they could go an win 60 games
 

Dallas has to be attractive even if they don't have the best talent next year for Durant.
-They'll have a young defensive anchor at C
-Dirk should be able to space the floor for Durant till he's 40
-One of the best coaches in the league
-an owner who is willing to spend (cough here's looking at you OKC)
-most important a franchise that is loyal to their players (I still remember Pierce saying he wish Boston treated him like Dallas treated Dirk)
