The trade doesn't happen unless KG agrees to the extension though, he held all the cards in that matter and laid the groundwork for players controlling their destiny. Bron took it a step further, and now KD just blew the doors off it.
We need that Bron superteam now

Steph has played in 2 Finals. Won one, Lost one. I have no reason to believe a team with KD and Steph is gonna choke again against any Eastern Conference team in the finals. Kudos to LBJ for bringing one to "The Land", but LBJ's latest title has people talking reckless about Golden States and a KD-Steph Superteam, and has folks acting like LBJ's 3 Title losses never happened.warriors gonna lose their bench and they gonna have 2 finals chokers who happen to be past mvps

Players were stopping trades because they wouldn't re-up before KG.. what exactly is your point? Like I said, if you dont see the difference bwteen trades and colluding with other free agents, I dont know what to tell you fam.
Like I said also, The C's had the east on lock so lebron had to collude and plot with free agents in order to beat them. If LeBron beats Boston in 08 and 2010, he never joins Miami. Kd probably doesnt join the Warriors in 2016. LeBron is the domino effect.

Why doesn't no one acknowledge the Celtics for starting this trend. Yea lebron had the bullshyt decision but at the end of the day the first super team was that Celtics team.
First of all fukk the Celtics
Second they were all in their 30's and there were trades done to make that happen vs 3 superstars
in their prime colluding to team up(something that was planned for years) to try to take the easiest
route to win all the fukking rings
Everything I said was fact.
The thing with those big 3 era Celtics is, if you didnt have a player that could stop/guard Pierce, we were a completely different team. Even though LeBron is/was much better than Pierce, the Mavs wouldnt have been able to contain Pierce for a series they way they did LeBron. For example, you couldnt switch Kidd on Pierce and have success.. not in the 10-11 season.
You're beyond hilarious. Who did the NYK have who could guard Pierce? Yet PP shot 6-16, 8-18, and 5-18 in 3 of the 4 games against New York, with an average margin of victory of only 5 in those three games. You don't think Dallas's defense could have shut him down more than New York's sorry defense did?
First off, the Mavs had Shawn Marion.
Second of all, they were playing one of the best zones in NBA history to that point....acting like they found success based on a single one-on-one matchup played a couple times a game is ridiculous.
Third, Boston was 0-2 against Dallas that year. In the 2nd game, they lost at home with PP going 4-10 for 12 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, and 3 turnovers.
But Dallas couldn't guard PP.
What does that have to do with the fact that they would have destroyed the Celtics in 2011...if the Celtics hadn't ALREADY been destroyed in the 2nd round?
Guarantee that a team which only won five playoff games was a lock to make the Finals brehs.
No one acknowledges the C's because them n!ggas were old. Ignor ethe names. What they did was the equivalent of Dream/Chuck/Clyde for '96-'97, Pippen 2 seasons down. it just happened to work. Also, none of these n!ggas were considered Best of the Best of Best...KG was the closest. But even still, a comparison to the C's would be Mailman, GP on the Lakers.

The Coli Should Rally Behind NY Getting It Done Next Year, Come On Guys
The NBA will just schedule as many playoff games for the Knicks on a Friday as they can
KG was 31. Pierce I think was 30 at the time of that trade
Now is there a fukking reason why I shouldn't hate these nikkas? That cocky shyt before was one thing and they lost. It was over. But this shyt. How many teams have had 4 all stars. 2 former mvp's. 2 previous scoring champions. 3 of the top 15 scoring leaders the previous season and 3 best shooters in the nba. I mean I'm sticking with my clippers until the go out, but whoever is there to stand against these dudes are going to be rooted for.the coli will continue to rally behind bron and the cavs now
that heel turn would have definitely happened next season but now cavs are the only hope to have a dream team people salivate about in fantasies lose.
The real question is why does no one acknowledge that the Heatles were clearly a direct response to those C's? NBA has had "super teams" since the beginning. People just got mad about it when Bron took it upon himself not to allow himself to be the next KG and started acting like it was new (or they were ignorant to history while still being
).

1.Shawn Marion has never been able to "stop/defend" Paul Pierce.
Paul Pierce vs. Shawn Marion | Basketball-Reference.com
head2head Pierce averages are over his career averages.
2. Regular season means nothing, the Celtics were 3-1 vs Miami in 2011 in the regular season. I like how you left out the fact that Pierce went 10-19 in the first game vs Dal tho. Dallas wouldnt have been able to defeat us in a series.
3.the series vs the kncks was a joke and non competitive.. but Pierce still averaged 22/46FG%
