Yea I think that’s probably accurate. 80-90. Hard to know though with those injuries.
With Kawhi that’s all you really need though.
Personally, I’d like to see KD team up with Kyrie in NY (Nets or Knicks), Butler and Kawhi to the Clippers (or both stay), Kemba to the Celtics, Horford to the Pelicans, and Russell to the Suns. That along with Lebron and AD in LA and a healthy Warriors team would make the NBA fun again for the next few years. [Reply]

You keep saying this, but it just isn't adding up. How is Kawhi winning a championship (and literally doing everything you could possibly ask of him as an individual player) and then going home to join the Lakers comparable to KD joining the same team he choked out to after never winning the big one?
Kawhi's legacy is already secure. He's not looking to add anything to it. [Reply]

3 MVP’s. Arguably 3 top 5 players. It’s arguably worse. Stacking the deck is stacking the deck. The rest is semantics.
Besides, it makes more sense to do this when you don’t have a ring. [Reply]

I like how the criteria for what a player shouldn't be able to do is just specific to KD and his situation and everyone else's is okay. [Reply]

Exactly. Ones the worse thing you can do an the ultimate bitch move, but the other is 100% ok. It’s completely unreasonable and hypocritical. [Reply]

I can somewhat get the point of having a ring by yourself and then going being different than not having one and super teaming up. [Reply]

I disagree because the whole point of ring chasing is to get a ring that you don’t have.
And that’s fine. But it doesn’t change the fact that there isn’t that much of a difference. You’re either cool with super teams or you’re not. How they come about is semantics and irrelevant. [Reply]
I guess KD wasn’t supposed to understand the possibility that Lebron was going to build another super team and he had to get a ring while he could?
That was the only silver lining in KD’s move for me. It was poetic justice for the guy that started this new trend. Back when Lebron joined Miami I even said it was a move that would be replicated by his peers. [Reply]

But after winning one you aren't really chasing a ring anymore. You've got one. And he did it without going to a super team this time. Or even to a team he chose.
Why not at that point just go play where you want and with who you want? [Reply]
