Whole Dubs squad soft. Durant taking team friendly deals too. These dudes saving these owners millions and taking money out their own pockets AFTER they've already won titles smh

I knew these guys were soft and non competitive when they choked away a 3-1 finals lead in the Finals and ruined a 73-9 season and instead of working on their games and getting better in the off season they flew out to the Hamptons and begged KD to join their team lol

Team whole steez is pathetic

Depends where your ambition is I suppose.

We celebrate Kyrie for doing the exact opposite of this.
Absolutely.

I want to see nikkas happy - however they define happiness.
For Kyrie, he wanted to be the man on his own squad, build his own shyt. I salute that :salute:

The worst possible scenario for his long-term happiness was to be stuck on a team with Bron, always playing Robin and never accomplishing his dreams :damn:

For Klay, clearly he's happy in CA, happy playing for the Warriors :salute:

So why fukk with that? Shoot, when you stay on the same team your whole career and bring as many chips home as he has...its a different kind of vibe you get in your city :whew:

The nikka will never pay for another meal, ounce, or drink again for the rest of his life :ahh:

And he's STILL loaded :banderas:

People take less to play with Steph, they take less money to get away from :sadbron:

Golden State is just the perfect basketball situation for him. His ego clearly doesn't require a larger role, and he obviously doesn't need to maximize his dollars. If he loves it, then nothing else to be said. it's his decision.

Kyrie is wired differently. Everybody wouldn't have left Lebron, but Kyrie wanted to.

So if both Klay and KD sign this summer...even if KD takes the same 25 mill salary, that's gonna put them nikkaz over the luxury threshold capwise not only this upcoming season (won't have enough roster players), but in 2019-2020 they are completely fukked. They'll be in the 130s salary wise and over the cap with only 6 nikkaz on the roster (Steph, Klay, KD, Draymond, Iggy, Livingston).

"But Klay took this amount"

This is why I don't shyt on Melo for the money he took. These billionaire owners do not need any breaks
Neither do I...clearly money is extremely important to Melo...he wouldn't be happy if he wasn't making as much of it as possible. :manny:

The bottom line here is that different nikkas are built differently...some are about their salary, some about chips, some about their stats, some about the city they're in...:manny:

Why does Shaq and Kobe have one? KG made more off salary than everybody and has one.

Because they like what they are doing. They are working because they want to, not because they need to. Shaq makes millions just from endorsements and 5 Guys, he doesnt need to show up to TNT.
