    I'll take him over Lebron. For some reason his brand of douchiness is much more tolerable than Lebron's. *To me*

    Honestly, Green has given Durant the clear out that he needed here if he really wants to bail.

    Good stuff! I like it. Anything that makes them weaker makes us stronger.

    I want him here!!!! Take KD off the Warriors and add him here with Lebron and the kids/vets = best team in the West. Trade a few of the kids for AD in the summer, too, and we have a potential new dynasty.

    Ha! I've said a few times multiple people here wouldn't want Jordan in his prime and I am only half joking about that. You name the player and I guarantee there will be several folks vehemently arguing against them.

    That said, I'll take Durant and all his perceived warts. He's overly sensitive at times off the court but is deadly on it. We'd be lucky to have him.

    I still remember a long time ago when we quoted Spurs fans saying they'd rather have Manu over Kobe. Our fans base should be much much better than that...at least i hope so.

    They'll come around once we start rattling off wins.

    Kawahi, I wanted to ship all our youngins' for him. (not saying that you would ship all our younins') So i agree with you there. I'd ship all our youngins' for KD too if it was the only way to get KD. Klay not so much. Bear in mind Lebron is not getting younger, we'll need a sure bet #1 to come in in 19. I don't see Klay as a #1 guy on a team. For me:

    1. KD
    1a. Kawahi
    1b. AD

    Then Klay.

    Wait, some people are wondering why some of us would prefer one over another....no different than this last summer where some fans preferred adding Paula, keeping Jules and the kids over adding Bron...haha. Some of y'all were mad that the Lakers were taking the guns for hire route in adding Bron and possibly putting our kids on the block (ie LeGM), yet those same fans are down with taking KD off our division competitor to go beat them?

    I prefer Kawhi (off and on the court as a personality) over KD. I also want Klay and Steph to host a KD and Dae-Dae kumbaya meeting so that the dubs remain as is and we can compete against them to take that crown from them. f*** an astericks title where we needed to pluck the dubs best player away from them to go beat them...nah, that's not #mambamentality...

    But again, there's nothing wrong with preferring one scenario over the other. If some of you would prefer to dismantle the champs that way...so be it. I wouldn't prefer to tho.

    Now let's say, KD kupcaked Russ and used burner accounts to trash OKC as a member of the Washington Wizard, and was going to leave his home town to team up with Bron in LA this coming summer, in hopes of taking down the champs, I would be more down with that scenario. But as is, give me Kawhi over dude...

    Anyways, dude appears to be out (see below)...so if he's a Laker, great...if not, we still got other great options out there and aren't shoestrung with a goddamn MozDeng contract on our roster. Thanks Magic & Rob!

    Ok let’s anticipate KD signing as a FA for our cap.

    It’s win win. He’s a perfect forward along side LeBron. They both take pressure off of each other.

    If we then trade young core for AD or Kawhi we have instant super team. If no trade we are super deep. Win win.
