    I don’t understand why Anthony Davis and other players don’t see that all of Lebron’s recruiting is to help his own legacy. He wants people to say he’s won this many rings and he’s the GOAT, blah, blah, blah. Lebron doesn’t care nothing about them. They are just being used.

    Because Lebron = Finals Appearance amd a chance at a ring (or at least it was until he got old). Lots of these guys are sick of losing look at Chris Bosh if he stayed in Toronto he wouldnt have ring now when people introduce him on tv its "Multiple all star and 2 time champion Chris Bosh".

    As we have seen with KD you can be the most cupcake of cupcake snakes but as long as you win your legacy is secure.

    As of right now the only legacy Durant has secured for himself is one of a snake and a coward.

    Outside of Bay area, his titles will always be tainted.

    Hell, even Bay area fans make fun of him amongst themselves.

    Yeah, to me Kevin Durant is basically Bob McAdoo. I thought more of him as a player before he went to GS.

    Hell, the warriors team/titles in general are not impressive to me. Sure their first is good but the last 2 with Durant..they lucked out on a huge cap increase and a snake like durant chose to sign there.
    And I am not being jealous. I don't have that feeling towards any of the last 20 previous championships since the rockets..for example the spurs. I am impressed.
    But the last two warrior ones...blah. It doesn't help they are also so smug and petty.

    TLDR: Durant's titles are not impressive.

    Looks like Anthony went from:

    "****ing trade me already"

    to

    "Please trade me"

    I wonder if Toronto/Masai would swing a trade for Davis without assurances of him staying a la Kawhi last summer.

    1. Re-sign Kawhi
    2. Trade Ibaka, Siakam, OG for AD
    3. Re-sign Danny Green

    Gasol
    AD
    Leonard
    Green
    Lowry

    That's not enough to get Davis imo, at least until Celtics, Lakers, Clippers and Knicks are around.

    I think the Rockets would take one or two of those 'not impressive ones'.

    Boring Championships.

    Did you actually expect her to go on record confirming that?

    I'm not convinced it happened either, but that denial is basically meaningless.
