And you're also deciphering Whiteside tweets and made up a name for them.
I'm not the only person that talked about West taking major pay cuts when he don't have to -

I'm sure if he wanted or needed the money he would've took it.
If he's made 90 mil, now he gon have 91 mil lol
He gave up 10 last year, and let's say 10 mil this year
That's close to 20% of his career earnings. in 2 years. Thats INSANE.
Forget his own needs, thats a whole nother generation to eat. So come to think about it that ? selfish -

Lmao imagine Wade on the Nuggets would be so random.
He has no where to go unless he just takes an extreme paycut to go to a contender. I just can't see him in a Nuggets uniform. -

Especially West. Dude gave up millions on two separate contracts.
How is West a ? . He's already set for life. He's already a multimillionaire. His kids are already set and if he works his money right so are his grandkids. More than probably anyone on this site can say.
It ain't all about the money for some. Clearly he wants the feeling of winning a championship. Like hmmm EVERY player in the NBA.
As a black man you can never have enough money
And just in 2014 he was saying he would never chase a ring. Dude gave up so many millions. I ain't talking 1, 2 or 3 I'm talking plenty millions.
Point is, in REAL life.. he's good. You or me passing on millions is a lot different than some already with tens/hundreds of millions passing on millions.
Coop, I understand exactly where you're (and West) comin' from. He made 87 Million before he left Indiana and he has said he was "strategic and invested his money well" so I don't blame him for going for a Ring (albeit he's being hypocritical).
But that 12 million dolla opt in he passed up is nothing to scoff @ either! It's not so much that I would be leaving gwop on the table for myself, it's more of a generational money thing!!
S/n, he almost signed w/ the Warriors last year, but choose San An. b/c he has been a life long Spurs fan. -

GS is mostly a homegrown squad who added a top FA.
It's not like 3 top 10 NBA players joined up together.
lebron fans dont see it like that........
wade was basically looked at as the best 2 guard in the league behind kobe at
the time who already had a championship ring under his belt........
back in 2010 when lebron made his choice to play with wade
tHe general consensous is them dudes were gonna be juggernauts and
possibly go 82 and 0 before they even played a game cause they were the
2 most dominant players playing with each other with the addition of bosh......
Hence the not 1 not 2 not not 4 not 5 championships speech.......
lebron thought ? would be easy.......... we all thought it would be easy
What durant did is no different than what lebron did, at the end of the day
durant is trying to win a title and his focus is not the warriors, but its beating lebron
to win that title........
As a competitor how would you feel seeing lebron the supposedly greatest player
in the nba, having the nba game on lock because his teams are overly overpowering
other teams......
the ? dipped on wade n bosh because they run was coming to an end to team
up with a younger version with kyrie n love.........
The ? is unfair.......
durant did what he had to do to give him the best chance to win a ring.......
Nah yo, Lebron went to join a wack ass heat team, while KD joined a team that had the best record of all time, with 3 top 10 players, and probably didn't even need him to go back to the finals. I ain't mad at KD for leaving, but I can't respect his competitive drive. Lebron left for a better situation, the Cavs were ass without him; KD hopped on the bandwagon that beat his ass.
He didn't join a wack ass Miami team when he joined up to play with with Wade AND Bosh.
KD left for a better situation too (so did Bron when he left Miami). He knew Russ was gone. Ibaka was gone and so was his original coach. It wasn't the same OKC.
KD going to a team that fits him probably better than any other.
What does LBJ even have to do with it tho?
I thought you were comparing Lebron joining Miami to KD joining GS, my bad if I was mistaken. Plus you can't know for certain that Russ leaves, what if next year they win a ring? Ibaka was washed, he had to go, and are you really trying to defend Scott Brooks?? Donovan was way better than that dude. OKC in my opinion looked better than they were in the playoffs, and KD left.
Before Lebron and Bosh joined up, the Heat were either struggling to make the playoffs or getting bounced in the first round. And it for sure not a better situation when he left for CLE, they were ass the year before, and Love wasn't a sure thing to be on the team.
Nah not defending Brooks, just remember KD not being happy about it.
So, i was just saying that probably played a role.
CLE had a better outlook that Miami because Wade was looking washed and Bosh was not looking too great either (due to his role).
CLE had Kyrie, pieces to move (Wiggins, Waiters, Bennett), cap space and the willingness to let Lebron run the show.
True, I ain't mad at KD for leaving, he his own person and should do what makes him happy, but this makes the league a lot more boring. Parity is for sure dead right now, which I think the last CBA was supposed to prevent. I think its guaranteed that there's gonna be a lockout in 2017 because of this and the cap jumping so high, which was the reason this KD junk happened in the first place.
Parity has never been alive in the NBA. The same few teams have always won
Word. In the 80 all we got was LAKERS VS CELTICS
The 90 was the BULLS vs ERRBODY
The 00 were very competitive in comparison... Until two days ago!!!
Lets get ready for
GSW OR SPURS VS CAVS until Bron's bball IQ slows down.

This Wade-Heat storyline is funny af
"This isn’t how this organization conducts business, but Wade has spent two offseasons throwing ? laundry in the streets because of fractured trust, though at least this year he didn’t sing Rihanna’s ? Better Have My Money with his son on Snapchat."
