    Vash,

    If you read my post and others in this thread, it's pretty obvious who my post is directed to.

    Secondly, I see people talk about how KD has acted. No one denies he has warts off the court. Leonard, the way he exited San Antonio....wasn't exactly wart free either. Who's to say Leonard doesn't do it again to us? KD and Leonard same difference off the court.

    On the court, both are in the top 3 players in the league. We can't lose with either way. To be honest it is irritating to see posts about KD's off court warts.

    I'm not getting my hopes up. It's a long season, and things can smooth over despite how bad it seems now, however I think it's more telling that a reoccurring theme I'm seeing in the Warriors is that KD is still not considered part of their core... their real core.

    I’m normally a very rational poster. So I admit I’m acting irrationally here, but heck no I don’t want him.

    The guy is a joke. Who leaves a championship contender that’s 3-1 up in the conference finals and leading in each close out game against a 73 win team. Then he leaves to that exact 73 win team that he choked against. Afterwards he uses fake accounts to make excuses on why he left throwing his old team under the bus saying he couldn’t win with them when they were 1 game away from a championship.

    Be a man about it and honest - not a snake. He gets to the warriors and then acts like a tough guy and talks about all the trials they had to get through to win a championship - buddy you’ve had a championship handed to you on a silver platter.

    He is an absolute joke, a front runner and a fake. Don’t want his passive aggressive, selfish iso game here. Sign me up for Klay, Kawhi, Giannis, AD. Anyone - just not Durant. He is the anti thesis of all our great champions and our great legacy.

    I'm open to anyone who helps us get a ring and Durant checks off everything that category. I'm fine him, Kawhi, or any other guy who helps us accomplish the goal.

    It's been more than long enough. Let's get back to competing for titles.

    I'm down for Durant to LA obviously, but if he doesn't come here, I hope he stays with GSW. I want the Lakers to be the first to take down the Golden State dynasty at full strength next season.

    I appreciate what you are saying but the Warriors do not win the last two championships without him. If you deny this then you're a hater. Heck, the Warriors wouldn't have gotten past Houston in the WCF without him. Like him or not, he's the best player in the NBA and could help the Lakers win championships.

    At the end of the day, the goal is to pass the C Bags. Period. There is no other reason but that.

    All this off-court stuff with KD and Kawhi (yes he too comes with some pretty big off court baggage) is just noise. End of the day, if you have a chance to land top 3 talent still in their prime you embrace it.

    That's it. It's Plan A and we all know it, that's why Vash keeps mentioning that we opened up the exact amount of salary space to sign him to his max.

    It's a huge win win win. By removing him from GS we become the favorites. By teaming him with Lebron and the kids/vets that we keep we are instant contenders and like TIME said, so deep. If we trade for AD, that could be a dynasty again in the making. Also no coincidence is AD signing with Klutch/Rich Paul. That's why Magic said, with the Lebron signing we are back. But next year we will be "back, back, back!"

    Well the offcourt stuff does kinda matter. One doesn't have social media, doesn't give a f*** (scoffed at SA at being the only ones to offer him a supermax) and would hate the LA media/scrutiny, but really wouldn't be all up in his feelings about it.

    Meanwhile, the other guy has social media (some public and some "private"), does give a f*** (so much so that he's "burning" up inside and has openly said he's about that bag now) and would hate the LA media/scrutiny so much he'd get caught up in his "fillings"....is there any doubt that the LA media would make that Kupcake implode?

    What was Kawhi really upset about? SA misdiagnosing his condition and attempting to rush him back to action.

    What is LA's med staff notoriously known for? Not having the Balls to disclose the exact injury details and being ever so cautious in bringing the injured players back to action.

    Let's not make Kawhi's situation a mountain out of a molehill.

    KD's warts vs Kawhi's warts...is like comparing mountains to molehills.

    Anyways, moving on...speaking about moles...

    So that whole year long ordeal with Leonard and the Spurs is a molehill. Hey i guess it's all about perspective and how you want to look at things.

    Moving on, some here will be ecstatic to have KD here....some not so much.

    You're the one comparing warts haha.

    Let's just say a dermatologist would classify one case as proliferative and necessary of a biopsy to rule out if the growth was insidious.

    The other case wouldn't even garner a differential, cause the patient wouldn't have shown up haha.

    Speaking of warts...look who decided to pop in.

    That trade would be graded as an incomplete tho.

    Let's keep it 100 and keep it all the way Real... You would follow it up by rerouting KD for Jules... And like that, NOP joins the dubs as world beaters...

    [​IMG]

    And... That trade would be universally graded as a F.

    :Magic Shaking Head No: :p

    @vasashi17 there you go again, bringing up Jules in another thread, you just can't help yourself, can you? :wasntme:

    And no, I wouldn't trade a superstar for him, nice try though.

    And there you go trading a star on a 4 year deal for another that's expiring and could play the Coward on us the same way he did Okc. Meanwhile, you gave the dubs an 8 time consecutive Finals appearance star on a 4yr deal so that they can double down their continued appearances there.

    Oh and have you seen our cap situation...opened up 38.2m next summer. No one other than KD is eligible for that type of max. No.One. Yet we should trade for him. Great idea bro.

    Thx for being my jump-off...cause I got something to get off my chest (#laBra-n)

    Some of this Bron hate is just plain lazy and without any thought...so much so, that it has to be trolln. How the f*** y'all complaining, passing judgement and ready to trade dude not even 15 f***ing games into the season...after he chose us? Y'all really love getting MozDeng'd huh? Complaining that Bron a narcissist...maybe y'all a bunch of masochists the way you guys wanna go back to yesteryear so bad.

    Sorry to be so stan-d offish, but I'm going to enjoy #TheComeUp. Meanwhile stay bawling, LB.
