Not sure how I feel about the R.Anderson signing for the Rockets while he's clearly overpaid which it seems like to get anyone remotely decent this offseason you will have to over pay. I was hoping a center and pg or upgrade at SF would be signed because I want to see Capela get more PT and I don't think he should do so at center. I guess having someone like him taking 3 point shots is better than Smith and a few of the guys we have but Anderson isn't gonna help inside much on offense of defense or even rebounding.

Am I crazy for thinking this? It came to me last night. What y'all think about the Hawks signing Josh Smith to a low risk high reward contract? Can probably sign him cheap. Get him back in Atlanta where this is the only place he had any kind of success and get him with his childhood friend Howard. See if Smith can get back on track

Wow, I just didn't expect Durant to go anywhere but back to OKC on a 1+1 deal. This does surprise me.

Lebron got fed up nobody coming to cleveland. Durant doesn't have the excuse to fall on and the fact the Thunder made the best move on draft night and wanted to bring Horford in but only failed because of Durant's status nobody can blame OKC Thunder for him leaving this is all on KD.

Eh, while I find it surprising for sure I think KD just got sick of Westbrook playing hero ball. Kd saw the warrior stars playing like good teammates and making the extra pass and probably got envious of it

Kd saw the warrior stars playing like good teammates and making the extra pass and probably got envious of it Durant played as much hero ball as westbrook. Can just go look at these playoffs to see. Either way Durant signing with the warriors for 2 years showed everyone that they were wrong bout him. He bout the money and chasing a championship. Oh well hope they fail big time as this would become the biggest laugher of all time. If someone gets hurt the warriors are fucked as they will have zero depth.

I think that was reactive by kd. Yea they did go back forth taking possessions for themselves but I believe Durant did it because he realized he wouldn't get shots up if he played unselfish like has in the past.

I am no fan of westbrook but they guy was 2nd in the league in assists. He almost averaged a triple double in the playoffs. Lets not put this all on westbrook. Durant was pretty "average" in the playoffs. Shot 43% from the field and 28% from 3. Him and westbrook both shot 22 shots a game in the playoffs. Westbrook averaged 11 assists to durants 3.3 a game.

I would disagree that it's about the money. He could have made more money at OKC. It's solely about odds of winning a championship. He realized that OKC is not as close to winning a title as their series with the Warriors would indicate (Curry just coming back from the knee injury early in the series), and that he's not getting any younger. It's funny to hear known Lebron fans trying to give KD a hard time, after their boy was the one who made this move famous.

Yea westbrook got better and got good assist numbers this year but he had control of the ball almost always and would try and shoot until he got doubled and Needed to pass. Watching him play, he doesn't make great passes, a lot of the times he was in mid air when he dished the ball out to a shooter not named Durant
