This is the question.
First, him and Lebron are friends, so that'd be the core of the argument. Maybe Lebron sells Durant that Durant can take the throne of best player from him and carry it? By leaving GSW and joining LA, we become the favorites, right?
Second, maybe his relationships in GS aren't that great?
Third, he wants to live in LA?
I don't think Durant is coming even a little, though. But I'm sure people can make a decent case. |
If he did leave, he'd have a weird legacy as far as being identified with any one team.
Kobe's a Laker
Bird's a Celtic
Magic's a Laker
Steph Curry's a Warrior
LeBron's a Cav
Kevin Durant?
OKC?
Warrior?
Laker? |
If somehow, some way, Lebron brings 3 rings to L.A., I don't think he's a Cav anymore. I don't think 2 does it though. |
If LeBron ends up being remembered as a Laker, I'd feel sorry for Cleveland. |
He will always be a Cleveland hero, even though he won twice as many titles with Miami. |
I think regardless of how well Lebron does here in LA, he will enter the Hall of Fame a CAV. Brought them their first modern NBA championship to the City, and kept them relevant as a team for about a decade.
I think Lebron has to win at least 2 titles here though, to get his jersey retired as a Laker.

Getting rid of 2 unwanted players in Moz+Deng while keeping a lot of the high potential young guys is major, even though we ended up losing DLO and Randle.. it is well worth it considering there is a high chance we can get another star to team up with LeBron next summer. |
I don't know. Was it worth losing DLO and Julius for Lebron?
LOL! Ahhhhh hahahahaha! |

I think you're dumbing down the actual pros and cons and discussions we had around here. Yes, those in favor of D'Lo and Randle are all idiots if AMAZING and GREAT were tossed around. I don't think anybody thought they were GREAT now. But I wasn't a part of that. The conversations I took part in was balancing the pros and cons of sacrificing youth and potential to go all in with "yet to be signed" old stars while GS looks invincible. Losing D'Lo and Randle would have been a set-back if Lebron didn't sign. Then we'd have the same cloud and question mark over the franchise as we've always had.. does anybody want to come here?

It happened w/ KG. He's basically remembered as a Celtic. Played 13.5 years in MIN and 6 years in BOS.
It's like his whole time with MIN was erased. All we hear about is KG in BOS. |

If KG had won a title in MN - the hapless Timberwolves! - he'd have been forever associated with that franchise, I 'spect.

No doubt. But 13.5 years in MIN and it's like he was never there. Feel bad for that city. A part of it is KG's own doing since he really identifies himself as a Celtic.
I think LeBron will always see himself as a Cav. And it's not just what you go into the HOF as.
It's all the stories when you're on TV. Which team do you identify with.
Shaq's always telling stories about his Laker days.
Kenny Smith's always talking about Hakeem.
Horry feels like he talks more about his Laker days than his time with the Spurs. |

Really good point on the KD / KG comparison.
KG no rings in Minny.
KD no rings in OKC/Seattle. |

Which team was a bigger disappointment? I would say the Thunder but 04 KG was a animal maybe they make the finals if Cassell was healthy. |

There really isn't anything weird about it. More than a dozen players have had their jerseys retired by more than one team.
The GOAT short list is filled with players who won rings for two teams -- Kareem, Wilt, Lebron, Shaq. So did Bill Walton, Dennis Rodman, Dennis Johnson, Jamaal Wilkes.
In fact, I'd say being identified with one team is more the exception than the rule. I think that's going to happen even more, since the big stars no longer seem to even feel a need to pretend it matters to them what jersey they wear and are more willing to hop around. |

Players don't enter the basketball hall of fame officially attached to any team. Their plaques all have a generic jersey. If you search for Celtics in the Hall of Fame, Bird and Bill Russell come up, but so do Shaq and Pete Maravich.
In contrast, the baseball hall of fame does require the player to select a team, and his plaque features that team's hat, and the players are listed by their primary team.
So Lebron will enter the hall simply as Lebron. |

Totally agree with you. You're right. I know its healthy dialog but at the end of the day, Magic and Pelinka did an incredible turnaround of a franchise is such a short period of time. Unfortunately there are some casualties as a result (DLO, Randle, Clarkson, etc), but I think the FO kept the right players. I am so pleased with what Magic and Pelinka were able to do to a franchise that was hamstrung so bad just a couple years ago. Incredible.
Personally, I never was a fan of DLO, Randle, Clarkson....funny how they are all gone. I never thought they were all that.....Kuzma is the real deal and so is Ingram. Happy they were kept.
Bravo FO

I figured with two pages of responses added in the last day we’d have gotten some more info on the buyout. Incorrect assumption

Yeah, if you don't like the word weird, maybe I can substitute it with "interesting."
He'd have an interesting legacy if he left the Warriors next year.
We might be looking at:
longest tenure: 9 years at OKC but no titles
2nd longest tenure: Lakers (or whoever) - with however many titles
shortest tenure: GS Warriors (3 peat and most success in only 3 years)
That to me is at least an interesting legacy.

Did you not see the 0.2M million difference?
If that's not more info on the buyout, I don't know what is!  |

Just to make it more clear on how fast the Magic and Pelinka turnaround has been with the team... the Knicks have fired multiple GMs in the last 10+ years while bringing in new guys who are still trying to fix the Knicks mess.. the Pistons have fired Joe Dumars and SVG while.. seemingly being stuck in mediocrity with no major sucess in sight.
Bravo Magic and Pelinka!!! |

Indeed. I was skeptical of Magic as an FO guy but he's made a believer out of me right quick. Pelinka too of course.
DLO, Randle and Clarkson, they all have NBA ability but I was never a big fan of the first two guys. DLO can play but I never thought he was properly focused and he's injury prone. Randle also has game, but his rough spots are rough indeed and he's an undersized 4 with poor fundamentals. Clarkson can score and I liked him best of those three guys.
They've kept the right youngsters and the sky's the limit for BI, Kuz and maybe even Hart, who right now looks like a total steal for where they drafted him. I'm skeptical of Lonzo, but maybe he'll overcome the noise which surrounds him and figure it out. Here's hoping. |

I thought @anth2000 knew I was being farcical about losing those 2 guys for Lebron, but I'm not sure anymore.

I know its healthy dialog but at the end of the day, Magic and Pelinka did an incredible turnaround of a franchise is such a short period of time. Unfortunately there are some casualties as a result (DLO, Randle, Clarkson, etc), but I think the FO kept the right players. I am so pleased with what Magic and Pelinka were able to do to a franchise that was hamstrung so bad just a couple years ago. Incredible.
Personally, I never was a fan of DLO, Randle, Clarkson....funny how they are all gone. I never thought they were all that.....Kuzma is the real deal and so is Ingram. Happy they were kept.
Bravo FO |
It's still a work in progress. If Lebron stays healthy and productive at an elite level, if the kids develop as hoped, and if we can replace the one-year placeholders with an elite free agent next summer, then the front office will have pulled it off. If those three conditions do not occur, then at least the team will be more entertaining, but we'll be back into rebuild mode in a couple years. |

Rose and Gibson are already Wolves. Along with Butler.
They just need Deng and Noah.
Rose
Butler
Deng
Gibson
Noah
They just need Mike Dunleavy Jr. and Kirk Hinrich to come out of retirement to be the 2013 Bulls. |
