Big loss for OKC. Kanter is great offense off of the bench. Also like how he talked s**t to KD. I like trash talk in the NBA, and KD deserves it.

He deserves it because he used his right as a free agent to better himself? Who is their right mind would rather live in OKC than the Bay Area .

F*** the Blazers. Let them feel snubbed and slighted.

What does that mean? And damn, that's an old grudge you're holding. Most of the current Warrior fans weren't even fans back then

When the first ipod came out that you could watch videos on, the Blazers sent those ipods to all the Western Conference coaches with Brandon Roy highlights loaded onto them. It was believed that the final guard selected came down to Roy and Davis.

And I am a lifelong UCLA fan and Baron Davis has been my favorite player since UCLA days (so you can imagine how pumped I was when we traded for him). Because my favorite player got snubbed for a guy who had worse statistics AND whose team was lower in the standings, its not something I probably will ever forget. lol

You're a biased Dubs fan. I get it.

His team had GS on the ropes in the WCF. He is a HOF type talent. There is a thing called pride and competition. He went against that in an unprecedented move. He can do what he wants, and there are plenty of excused to "justify" his actions. IMO, and a lot of others, biggest b**ch move in NBA history.

Yep. That was the one season that Davis didnt actually miss over 25% of the season. He was deserving in 07-08 but I look at his career as such an underachievement.
Am I the only one who wants to see Durant and Westbrook get into it during the all-star game?

Sure I am biased because I wanted him to come to the Warriors. But what he did was no different than Lebron going to Miami. James was a FA and everyone and their mother knew they would win multiple titles with Wade and Bosh. To top it off he left his own town. But, he had every right to do so. Just like KD.

You think its a b***h move. I think it was a pretty damn smart move.

Definitely was an underachieving career. Too bad he couldnt stay healthy. Was so fun to watch.

I would take Towns over Embiid simply because of the health factor. Both have tremendous talent but will Embiid actually stay healthy and have a long career?
Man do i love this Sixers team

ya, it's all about health. but who's to say that Towns will be healthy in a couple years from now? we've seen a lot of good big men that became injury plagued.

True but he has no history of injury while Embiid has missed 2 seasons. I would have to go with the percentages if I had to choose between the 2.
