its so hard for me to comprehend these kind of posts because this is not what happened at all...

A bunch of guys teaming up? 90% of the Warriors core was DRAFTED. Who outside of Kevin Durant did the Warriors trade for thats their starting 5? Steph, Draymond, Klay, Looney, Bell all drafted. shyt even the players they did pick up over time, people thought were on their way out the league in Iggy, Javale Mcgee and Shaun Livingston

Now LeBron has traded more players in and out of the Cavs the past 4 years, someone correct me if im wrong, in NBA history and has had the highest payroll in the league for about 3 years in a row giving out huge contracts to players that Bron thought would fit his play style specifically and has had players swap how they usually play to play to his strengths as well (Kevin Love)

looks to me REALITY is the other way around

You guys give Kevin Durant issues for joining the Warriors, but disregard that LeBron traded for like 10-20 players in the past 3-4 years trying to fit his play style

No one had to give Tristan Thompson that 80 million contract. Bron forced that.

Arent you a Houston fan? How many of the starting 5 (or 7 core) this year were drafted by Houston :usure:
Hate posts like this because there's so much wrong I'd have to literally go line by line and refute every statement. Instead here's a few basic points:

-They didn't draft 90% of anything. 40% of the so-called hampton 5 aka their 5 best players are from trades. Add in Young, Cook and Livingston and the majority of their rotation was not drafted by them.

-Livingston and Iggy were not on their way out of the league lol wtf. Iguodala started 80 games the previous season for Denver, during which time he was accused of already conspiring with his new buddies on gsw that he would then jump ship to in the off-season. Durant then followed the same blueprint a couple years later.

-Jokes aside, lebron isnt gm. shyt, they fired the gm he did like. Warriors payroll is just as high as the Cavs. Garbage talking point.

-All players generally have to switch it up to fit on a new team. Warriors bench is full of guys that were starters on other teams.

-I support the Rockets cause I have connections to a lot of guys on that team but no not a Houston fan. Anyway Houston have always acknowledged their team was constructed specifically to beat the Warriors. In turn the Warriors were constructed, particularly with Durant, specifically to beat Lebron. And that was my point to begin with. We didnt get Ewing joining up with Shaq and Penny cause they were tired of losing to Jordan.

40% of the so-called hampton 5 aka their 5 best players are from trades.

? Name them ? 40%? 40% would mean only 2 of the 5 were drafted. Clearly 4 of the 5 starters were drafted (80%, double the 40%). Only Kevin Durant was not drafted by the Warriors, dont be on here posting fake news..

Add in Young, Cook and Livingston and the majority of their rotation was not drafted by them.

Just to be clear here, are you saying Young and Cook (league minimum contracts) are pivotal to Warriors success or rotations? Warriors current main rotation is between Bell, Looney, Livingston and Mcgee as Iggy cant play. Again, 50% of the rotation is drafted by the Warriors..

-Livingston and Iggy were not on their way out of the league lol wtf. Iguodala started 80 games the previous season for Denver, during which time he was accused of already conspiring with his new buddies on gsw that he would then jump ship to in the off-season. Durant then followed the same blueprint a couple years later.
No one would pick them up, they were on their way out the league, dont rewrite history. Iggy would of been on another team for the league minimum at best. He played on Denver (I dont recall 80 games... maybe im wrong..) but they said he was old and injured.. Shaun got injured and no team wanted to take a risk on him.

-Jokes aside, lebron isnt gm. shyt, they fired the gm he did like. Warriors payroll is just as high as the Cavs. Garbage talking point.

Warriors payroll is only recently as high as Cavs, the previous championship runs the payroll was lower.

-I support the Rockets cause I have connections to a lot of guys on that team but no not a Houston fan.

how can you have connections to anyone on the Houston Rockets :skip: shyt is a merry go round for players :skip: Harden is the longest tenured player on the rockets currently I believe :skip:

No, I think Bron is the best player in the world. But I think it is ridiculous when people act like he's leaps and bounds better than the #2 and #3 guys.
He is, if KD was even close he woulda dropped 50pts in 2016 and knocked out the warriors :mjlol:

KD actually plays defense and his game doesn't suffocate his role players so...

Act like KD wouldn't go for 40 and 50 with ease if he touched the ball on every play, never played defense, and his best teammates were Kyle Korver and George Hill brehs.

On a team with actual structure that shares the ball he averaged 35 8 and 5 on 53% shooting...facing LeBron.

Yeah he's the best. Better scorer better defender. He isn't playing up to his usual level right now, but this was just last year.

He'll be fine. Even with a lackluster first game he still had the best plus minus on the team and posted a solid 26 9 6 with 3 blocks.

LeBron has the juice right now. Good for him and his fans :manny:

Warriors in 5 tho.
Best post in this forum in a minute!

But KD has steph and klay..while brons teammates like to shoot 30% not consistently giving him space and he has to make things happen.

HE ALWAYS HAS "SPACE TO MAKE THINGS HAPPEN"

ONLY PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE THAT CONSISTENTLY ALLOWED TO BACK GUYS DOWN WITH 5-6 DRIBBLES.

REAL POST PLAYERS GET DOUBLE AFTER 2 DRIBBLES.

Because Bron is one of the best post playmakers of all time. A guy who can fire pinpoint passes, with either hand, and get it to anywhere on the court in a split second to take advantage of any players not watching their men...is rare as fukk.

Doubling Bron, anywhere, is hard because his passing ability.

Whenever he sees doubles he hurts the opposition. It's fact. It's why you don't see doubles on him much until they KNOW he's going to the hole. His vision is unparalleled.
