The Official Dwayne Wade <<<<<< you thread

Y'all can live in your little delusional world if you want  

Haven't you heard the stories about how he didn't like it that much playing alongside Russ.

When Dubs came calling, and you see players like Steph, Klay and Draymond who clearly play for each other and the system, why wouldn't you choose that over *bleep* ball hogging, bipolar playing Russ. Durant got sick of sharing the captain's responsibility with someone like that, he got sick that the higher ups at Thunder preferred Russ as their number 1, when he knew Russ wasn't even close to being in his sphere.

He saw the opportunity. He saw he couldn't get anything done with OKC. God, look at the OKC squad atm, they couldn't even assemble anything decent competitive wise even though KD left a huge gap in cap for them to work with. He took the opportunity to get his ring, to go to a team where he will finally be adored for what he is in all aspects of the game and cement himself as one of the all time greats the best way possible. If he moves to another team or stays at OKC, he would have never been able to do all of that.

Simple as. He made the best move possible for his career and legacy, and your LeBron crying ass has no magnitude to take that away from him.

Wait, are we acting like Durant is more adored in Golden State than he was in OKC?

They loved him more than anything and he left for the team that beat them. Can't fault GSW for signing him.

But Durant made a bitch move and it wasn't the best move for his legacy. His legacy is forever tainted for leaving to the team that beat him.

OKC is at fault for trading Harden themselves though. Best drafting team in history yet not willing to pay luxury tax to keep them.

Also Russ being the problem

They almost beat GSW and Kevin Durant took more shots than Russ every single season.
If anything the Harden trade was the problem. None of those guys hated eachother. Let's not pretend they did.

OKC's management just *bleep* up the most talented team in history.

OKC's coaching was the problem and still is to be frank.

It's obvious to anyone with a brain that Durant is much, much more dangerous when he's constantly on the move and he's not a ball dominant guy.

Having him tried to iso and shoot over double teams was a disgusting waste of his talent. Hell considering Russ explosion it would help him too.

OKC has had the worst coaching ever... Such a big what if with that talent

Klay Thompson is my kind of guy. Probably the guy I'd most like to be friends with. Weird as f

Just invited the guy with the legendary toaster to the parade. The toaster is gonna be brought along

We got more basketball this summer btw guys

Lonzo getting another workout with Lakers. Seems like he wants to show them how he works out. All the key Lakers people are coming and watching him for day.

Never heard of that kind of workout before. Makes me think we'll pick him 100%. I'll quit basketball if we pick anyone else.

Lakers and Boston 30 for 30 documentary if anyone is interesting. It's really really good. Great history lesson.

Spoiler:

Yea, Klay's the man

Lots of people on campus say I look like him, my demeanour is similar to his (while others say I look like Steph think it has to do with skin colour and height). Guess it also helps that they see me out on the court sometimes and I shoot pretty decently too.

I might be weird too Only exception is I'm not famous.

That Lakers - Boston series in 1984... What a series. Wish we'd get more ball like that.

A LOT more people share my views than you, so no.. he didn't do the best move for his legacy

Everything in history is recorded, the context of any rings with this Warriors core will always be known

Sadly not

Most of it is Red Auerbach, Jerry West and Russell. It's only 40-50 minutes or so I think.

Everything is four hours.

God I love Players' Tribune. Such a good initiative.

^^what does the initiative do besides giving players the platform to speak the truth?

Celtics and Sixers talking about trading picks apparently.

Seems like Philly desperately want Fultz lol.
