I don't think Durant deserved FMVP. Steph is the best player and seems like more of a leader. I also feel like he's more important to team success. He makes everyone better. Although his game is more fragile.

Either way, the people to blame for the GSW juggernaut are the players association for failing to smooth out the cap increase  and creating an offseason where everyone had max cap space.

Can't blame the Warriors for wanting to add a top 3 player

GSW played by the rules.

But Durant move does feel like they stacked the deck.

Just more motivation for Danny this off season to figure out if our team, fully healthy, can beat them.  Finding someone who can defend Durant one on one is the biggest question. Not sure if that person has been born yet.

No they are not playing by the spirit of the law...the letter of course but not the spirit.

Apparently Kevin Durant is having an x-ray today, to see if he has a backbone.

What a pathetic worm. All the GSW/Durant apologists just make me laugh. Must be nice jumping on bandwagons and living life without a spine.

Oh, we've got spine. We're just not hateful, jealous babies.

I like to congratulate others on their success.

I'm not a fan of the Warriors, but be honest with yourselves:  they did exactly what we would want to do if we were in their position.  They played by the rules and capitalized on an unprecedented opportunity. 

It just is what it is; a freak occurrence.  Nobody is at fault, unless you feel like blaming the Players Association for shooting down the cap smoothing proposal in 2016.  But that's a murky accusation to make at best.

What's there to congratulate when they clearly bought their last two chips  ::)

Found it hilarious seeing Warriors fans booing Adam Silver when he was on the mic. They should be thanking him for helping the Warriors win and allowing superteams like that to form lol

And KD35's tweet about winning b2b. He needs to sit down and remember he went to a 73-9 team after his former team blew a 3-1 series lead to them.

I didn't even give any congrats or respect to the Cavs for making it to the finals cuz clearly they didn't belong in the finals. And to see the Celtics losing to those sorry ass Cavs absolutely disgusts me (but clearly the Celtics lost, not the Cavs winning). What a boring NBA Finals product this year.
What does it even mean to "buy" a championship. Everyone has the same cap rules and GSW just did it better/had better luck then everyone else.

WRONG...everyone does not have same cap rules, that is false. Players have learned to subvert cap rules.

Curious if KD is taking less than max deal because he is getting special Silicon Valley investment opportunities.

What rule does GSW not have that the rest of the league does?

Now you are thinking.....KD is worth more to his sponsors on a championship team. THEREFORE, his sponsors will compensate him well for taking a discount to ensure GSW wins. If he takes a 7 million a year discount so Iggy can be signed...one of his sponsors just sweetens his endorsement deal by 7 million. Problem solved cap rules defeated.

GSW paid the reigning league MVP and 2 time finals MVP less than Max...how many other teams in the league have that deal. You want real competition scrap the salary cap allow mobility.

He took a discount.

That's the opposite of buying a championship. You want to criticize Durant? Go ahead. Want to accuse  the Warriors of somehow not playing by the rules? Absurd

Economics 101.....Durant by taking a discount paid the GSW ...they then used that money to buy the championship.

Bill Russell's Celtics, Larry Bird's Celtics, all those teams had a TON of respect for their opponents. That's partly what made them great.

We should do the same as fans, we compete and cheer all out during the competition, but show respect when its over. I mean, we don't want to become a disgusting, classless fanbase like Phili fans.
