So why did the NBA block the CP3 trade..

nikka posted straight opinions like they're facts

This nikka was scrambling to come up with a reason why they won't succeed

As if we didn't need a wing who could score.

As if our key bench players aren't still intact

everything is opinion you dummy. EVERYTHING you're stating golden state will do this season is all opinions, cause it hasn't happened yet. Are you listening to yourself talk, or maybe you're high?

Harrison Barnes had a GREAT season last year you idiot. Why do you think he demanded a max contract??? Dude shot 40% from three I believe. Averaged double digits all season as the FOURTH OPTION, third option occasionally.

Golden States main problem wasn't offense you casual. They had SERIOUS flaws defensively, that STILL HAVEN'T BEEN FIXED, that is FACT. They are even WORSE defensively now that is FACT.

Their bench has LESS DEPTH now, that is FACT.

As of right now my theory about them being easier to guard, and much worse overall offensively stands FACT. The only way I could be wrong is if Durant becomes a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT after 7+ years in the league. What you don't get is for Kevin Durant to "fit in" with this team he has to become EXACTLY what Harrison Barnes was last season.

Do you not understand that if he that doesn't happen, Durant will be a ball stopper? He will cause even MORE turnovers on offense (a major problem golden state had last season), he will INCREASE those time periods last season in which, their offense became stagnant, he will bring suspect defense, he will take shots away from klay and steph (both MUCH better shooters), and if he is not scoring he will literally non existing on the court (steph curry also has this problem).

All Golden State did with signing of Durant is create EVEN MORE flaws and weaknesses to the team, while strengthening the flaws and weaknesses they had last season. Unless of course Durant becomes Harrison Barnes. The guy that will score 10-15 points a night while taking as the fourth option. Even then they will just be the same Golden State LITERALLY as last with less bench depth and an even more suspect defense.

The league doesn't want to be seen as anti-gay. There is NO other reason.

These idiots don't realize that the NBA owned the Hornets, meaning the Hornets had 29 owners. People here talk as if David Stern did it by himself. He was just representing the owners, that was his job.
The commish is the owners' servant. Donald Sterling was forced to sell because the other 29 owners abandoned him (and he made out like a bandit with $2 billion from Ballmer).

Let me clarify it for you: All 29 NBA owners had to agree unanimously to any Hornets deal... Just one owner was enough to kill it (Dan Gilbert and Mark Cuban weren't the only ones who opposed it btw).
That shyt had zero chance of going thru
