I guarantee he can't be worse than Ezeli when healthy. If he can can catch passes he's already up.
Jones won't be the rim protector as a rookie, Ezeli's one of the best in the league and he averaged 12 boards per 36 minutes. Warriors fans was talking about Ezeli being Bogut's successor now y'all trashing him after a bad playoffs, stop.

Terrible playoffs. Jones is more athletic and can catch. He wont be the rim protector Ezeli is but after seeing Tristan Thompson dominate Ezeli and Bogut 2 years straight I'd rather have a rookie that can at least finish at the rim.

A 7 footer with a 7'3 wingspan, 36 inch vert that was a good shot blocker in college is just gonna somehow forget to protect the rim in the pros :mjlol: what use it arguing with y'all fakkits...let y'all tell it we gonna be worse than the Sixers

Nikka there's an adjustment period and defensive scheme to learn he's not going to allow 40% at the rim like Festus in year one you can bank on that. And no you fakkets are probably gonna win 70 games in route to another Finals.

:dwillhuh:

KD about to be 28 years old. He ain't got time for no rebuild/reload situations. Would you talk that easy way shyt if he signed with the Spurs? :sas2:
If Whiteside stays healthy Heat probaby make the ECF last year. Durant is the 2nd best player in the league. Why wouldn't they be contenders with him on the team?

What defensive scheme is needed for rim protection dummy? Contesting and blocking shots are based off good instincts and discipline...plus having an 1st team all defensive big in the frontcourt with him will take the pressure off

Ive been talking about the Suns' offseason, best potential they've had in years

I dont know what a "pure small forward" is supposed to be but Durant took himself out of any goat contention when he made the decision to be a beta. No hate, facts only.

Youre not capable of a facts only discussion

You wanted durant to stand pat and watch lebron/wade/melo/cp3 team up

He woulda been stupid to let that happen

Im only stating facts while you ponder pre-emptive fantasy scenarios as an attempt to justify the most bytchmade move in sports history.

This is not a road you want to go down, friend.

Pre emotive fantasy scenarios? :mjlol:

LeBron says he would take a pay cut to play with Melo, Wade and Paul

Let's not talk out of our ass breh

Lebron already took a paycut for a ring once, why would durant think he was bluffing? He'd be stupid to not take this serious.
So since you think Bron was serious and not just waxing on how fun it would be to play w all his banana boat brethren, thats definitely gonna happen now, right? I mean if he was already gonna do it and now Durant joined GS, that means Bron will 100% form his super team now, right? Wade renegs on his deal with Chicago and they all somehow force their way to the Knicks, thats going down for sure right?

:comeon: Durant was moist for them boys regardless of Bron or anyone else. He was going there no matter what.

I agree that durant going to golden state was a sucker move

But other dudes have made sucker moves recently and won rings from it. I guess he figured what the hell.
