Why aren't more players teaming up like LeBron & Durant?

Making an extra 60-70 mil will trump winning rings.Only the dudes who really want to have a legacy care about rings(Lebron,Durant)

Most these cats tricks with families and multiple kids they have to support, they getting that dough.Cp3 wants to win too but he's 31 and about to potentially get a 200 mil contract nobody turning that down.

with the new cba you'd be a jackass to turn down that designated veteran max exception now too.

This is the end of that shyt.
Some players are eventually gonna turn down these extensions. I understand turning down $200 million over five years for $135 million over four sounds crazy, but someone will do it.

Over $35 million a year is already insane money and it would be really tough to go broke off that.

I have my money on Westbrook turning it down this summer. :manny:

You need at least 2/3 All Stars to compete in this Golden State/Cleveland era. The West would be so much better if CP3 for example went to San Antonio or Paul George left Indiana for OKC or Houston.
Can't recall a time when you didn't need 2 or 3 all stars
