Lol look at all those SG & SF. Who needs a PF? Not the Nets apparently!
Dammit. Just when my Nuggets looked like they were finally going to be almost a shoe in for the NBA Finals.
Although I'm laughing at Brooklyn. Good luck rebuilding around Simmons.

Simmons is basically Joey Gallo at this point. A bag of balls would get him in a trade. The Nets are not building around him.
Interesting that KD wanted to go to a team where he once again won't be the clear best player (yes he is better than Booker but the margins are very small) and where it won't ever be 'his' team. I think those things are sort of dumb but I was always under the impression they were important to him which was the biggest reason he left GS (yes others as well but I think this drove it). Best case he wins the title (and I don't think this trade makes them favorites by any means) but again it still isn't 'his' team he won it with...where does that put his 'legacy'? Still behind contemporaries.
I mean that's been his career no? He jumped to GSW knowing he wasn't the one leading the team.
I mean he went to a team with Kyrie and added Harden, how was that any different?
The Suns have never won a championship and even though they had a franchise record in wins last year they got bounced in the second round. I don't see this move as anything like the GS one. In today's NBA a single star is going to have a very hard time getting anywhere. Booker is great but he's not quite MVP caliber yet imo. If KD brings a championship to Phx I think he will get a lot of praise.
Honestly I feel bad in the sense that no one could have anticipated the Pandemic and then Kyrie going off his rocker. But when an Organization bets the farm on assembly a Super Team, they really are playing russian roulette on whether it'll implode on them or not.

idk why this thread was even bumped. there's a new thread. it just muddies the discussion.
He is - not sure why this thread was bumped when someone posted the other one.
This thread was bumped at the same time the other thread was made.
The story is that he figured it would become 'his team' if they were successful but the reality was far different. So he went elsewhere to get that experience.
Kyrie and old-Harden aren't on Booker's level and they weren't the established star on the team he moved to.
It's not hyperbole at all. KD has been a top 3 player for the last decade. Only very recently has Booker made it past the top 15.
Giannis and Curry both did it in recent history. Even Kawhi has an argument.
Yeah he will definitely get praise - I just see this ever being his team or him being the metaphorical "bus driver".
Yes let's have First Take style argument about what 'massive' or 'slight' mean that will go nowhere. The fact is that the Suns will never be his team as long as Booker is there and healthy. I think KD keeps thinking he is going into some LeBron-Wade sort of situation and that just isn't the case.
Let's move the discussion on
