It's already ridiculous that they have Curry and Durant together (along with Green and Thompson).

so where could he go and either build a team around him or join an already good team that would beat GS?

Houston?

Every other team is doing the same. you can't stay pat or others will go by you. It's up tom LBJ.

Having all those superstars on one team is literally the definition of unfair.

Yes, other teams would have to get better - but they will be operating from a disadvantage.

The season will begin with the majority of the teams knowing they have no chance of winning a championship, barring a series of catastrophic injuries.

In a fair system, the teams would be more evenly matched, and every team would have a chance to win.

jumps in and finishes your sentences what would be the point of thinking? It is not a criticism of James. Or the players. It is what it is.

I thought maybe Cleveland would win 1 game, but they were swept. Too bad. LeBron

Well, at least the Warriors gave the bird to tReasonous fatso from the Coach on down, telling him that they weren't even thinking of going to see his sorry, treasonous, racist, lying autocfatic ass

Turning down the extended invitation would be much more 'in your face,' at least IMO. YMMV, clearly...and I could accept reasoning that suggested that.

We have a young, playoff ready core plus lots of money. He may be able to bring someone else of his choice over.

Hopefully they spend the day volunteering in the DC area again like they did last year.

of the Warriors. They are bunch of douchebags. Draymond Green is like the black Trump of the NBA. Also not impressed with them snubbing Trump since any NBA team would have done the same since the NBA is a super liberal league.
