Welp. Looks like Adam Silver has had some time to rethink things (with KD's Mom's help)

:shaq:


Apparently Wanda Durant (Kevin’s Mom) set Adam Silver straight on son’s move to Warriors

“The one thing I have learned, I was just talking to Kevin Durant’s mom, every situation is different,” Silver told cleveland.com on the red carpet in Los Angeles prior to the ESPYS Wednesday. “This was a team in Golden State where they have three all-stars who were all drafted. A team that’s under the cap. And one free agent, who also happens to be a superstar, makes a decision to go to that team. It’s very different than if multiple players from different teams had come together and said let’s all land on yet a completely different team.

“Every situation is unique, and these players have difficult decisions to make,” Silver said. “Of course they want to win. I’m sure it was very difficult for him to leave the Oklahoma City community. Look at the incredible things he’s done there over the years. So these decisions are always difficult, and these are young men. It’s a lot of responsibility.”

I dont get what the nba head office is trying to do......teams have the ability to draft well and trade well and hire good coaches....

trying to modify the CBA to discourage marguee players from moving is stupid, its short sighted and it reeks of protectionism

When in fact the max contracts which they wanted to protect them from themselves allowed this to happen in the first place

Owners fuking up and wanting to blame everybody else.

Nor should he be:yeshrug:

Anyone not a GSW fan should hate the move. Anything that hurts competitive balance the league should be against

It still won't help cause these dudes will take less to win.

fukk the league and the owners. They bytched when the players had huge and long contracts like big dog and garnett.

Then they issue in shorter deals and mad that kats are free agents and leave teams now.

Punk ass owners (cause that is who silver is the mouth piece for) want they cake and eat it too.
