I don't know why you typed all that. I was speaking to the Nets picks. :mjlol:
Lol no hate inteded breh I was just using your post to make a point.

When Ainge robs the Nets and dooms their franchise to 5-10 years of being terrible its ":obama: great job Danny!"

When Kevin Durant left OKC it was like "he betrayed his brothers! He's going to the enemy!"

So...its perfectly fine for terrible execs and shytty GM's to ruin their teams and waste players careers and trade Demarcus Cousins for Buddy Heild...AFTER telling him they wouldn't trade him...

But not ok for the Players themselves to make moves that put them in the best position to win...got it.

Kevin Durant says 2010 tweet about LeBron James was a reaction to fake news

Durant: Let me clear this up, because a lot of people talk to me about [it and say] I took a shot at him on Twitter. If you go back and look at when I posted that, I posted that later in the month, you want to know why?

Penny Hardaway came out and said, "I would love to play for the Heat, I think I could help them win the championship." And I'm like, "Come on, Penny. You've been out of the game. I played against you my rookie year, it's like three years later, man. What are you doing?" But it was a fake article. So I tweeted that. And now everybody's like, "Well, you was criticizing LeBron." I signed an extension right after LeBron decided to go to Miami and a lot of people asked me about that, I said, "Cool, for [the Heat]. We play them three times, I can't wait to play them, it's going to be cool."

I didn't criticize him, I was criticizing Penny Hardaway in this fake article I read. So a lot of people took that and ran with it.

The same day as KD's tweet, this article came out.

Penny thinking he'd like to come back with Heat


Penny Hardaway insists that he's interesting in coming back to the NBA in general, and the Miami Heat in particular.

When trio of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh joined forces to play on the Heat, Hardaway -- who hasn't played in the NBA since 2007 with the Heat -- said he got the itch to return.


"I'm just throwing my name in the hat," Hardaway said on ESPN's Outside The Lines. "I'm just one to put my name out there and say, hey, I would love to be one of the guys to be on that team."

He stood by that for the next 7 years. Just two years after that he knocked off Kobe's Lakers on his way to running into Bron's Heat and losing.

So he WAS competitive and fought against those teams he was talking about. Did he get anything out of it?

He got shyt ON...for not winning.

Then it clicked in his head. These fukkers don't give a shyt how hard I practice, how hard I play, or how many times I get injured. They only care if you win.

So he did what he did:demonic:

Durant is right. The people who cry about lack of parity are the same ones saying the Pacers should have traded PG, the Clippers need to be blown up, the Kings needed to trade Cousins, etc. Basically that any path that doesn't lead to a championship is a waste of time.
