More like Jordan was completely dominant during his era.

Lebron? Not even close.

Trading a contract that has 1 year and $15M left on it is NOT the same as trading a contract that has 2 years and $37M left on it.

Sorry, the situations are not comparable.

What's your point? The comment just reminded me of the Celtics bailing out the Warriors. I never even looked at Kanter's contract. Getting Kanter off the books isn't going to help OKC at all. They are not going to win a championship any time soon. Btw, $15 million in 14-15 > 17.8 million in 17-18.

But I don't care at all to whatever your point is. I just fucking hate the Celtics for taking on David Lee. That's it.

Fair enough. For the record, there was no "bailing out" of the Warriors in this situation though. Not getting rid of Lee wouldnt have changed the Warriors roster, other than the fact that they would have had David Lee's $15M buried on the bench.

Well they look great now beating up on a crap Portland team that barely made the playoffs. I am not that impressed just yet.

But to answer your question, unless one of the Warriors superstars gets hurt i can't see anyone taking this Warriors team to more than 6-games.

They were a completely different team after the Nukic trade. 17-6 after the stretch IIRC. Shame for Portland that he wasnt available. Not that he would have made a difference in the outcome of the series. But I dont think it would have been a sweep.
