    30+ plus million for 2 more years (he’s opting in most likely). Gotta credit stone for getting out of that before it became a serious issue.

    It’s just weird to have a guy whose very best games can make him look like a star, while more than half of his other games make him look like he should be coming off the bench.

    The KD Experiment looks more like The J.Green Dodge now. Ring or not, rather have KD and a chance than Brooks/J.Green

    It's always this. No matter how you think about Durant. Jalen for KD is a no brainer. A lot of people now believe that the real cost of getting KD was Dillon Brooks.

    Oh, he’s is that bad. And he’s really going to have to get going to meet my (optimistic) projection of homeless man’s Jordan Clarkson.

    Nah, for Phoenix it was getting anything, they realized KD does not fit any longer and is old and that is fine......

    The thing is getting a king's ransom for him which they did not, it was to be fair a minor lordling's ransom.

    I can’t remember an NBA team, maybe going back to the Bad Boys Pistons, that deserved a roster-wide asskicking like this OKC team. Just absolutely punchable, 1-10 on that roster. McCain is just gravy (literally and figuratively). I know it’s a different time, but the league used to have some enforcers that would have “taken care” of Lu Dort for instance and he might’ve nursed a dislocated shoulder or worn a face mask for 6-8 weeks after that stunt last night. And can someone please tell me why they don’t DESTROY SGA on a pick?

    You are too fixated on players, players come and go......at the end of the day after 1 or 2 decades, you only remember how much the team has won.

    You can be assured that the OKC fanbase has been whining about Dort a lot and wanted him gone......but yeah he is respected by the players......and his contract is up...../rant.

    Yeah tbh I genuinely do view that trade as "#10 pick and Dillon Brooks as reward for taking on Jalen's bad contract and getting out from their KD drama."

    Lu Dort is present day Bruce Bowen. Every dirty. One of my most hated players, second only to Draymond.
