    Quite honestly it doesn't matter

    Kawhi is the top free agent

    AD is the top trade

    The Lakers are the big story

    The Warriors are the favorites next year with or without KD and its without regardless due to the injury

    Adrian Dantley is a FA?

    Lake-show is a disaster and LeBron is breaking down.

    Nets

    Of all those teams, I think the Nets are in the best position to be patient with him for a year while he rehabs, as well as offering him the best roster to win with once he's back (assuming they also get a second max guy). Half of those teams aren't a consideration for KD. I would say the Nets and Knicks are his top-2, or he takes the player option (which I don't think he will because teams will offer him max deals even with him having to sit for a year).

    Good chit

    Resign with GS
    Gotta say, the thought of Kyrie being a pussy, and KD having thin skin should be a combo to enjoy watching utter disfunction for the next 3-4 years. There is no way this works out well. On top of the fact his leg probably never it makes it back to 100%. I still think the KD signing is a decent gamble, but the kyrie thing makes no sense to me. He's been a shithead at every stop.

    Kyrie's proven himself to be a loser time and time again

    KD has titles left in him ... but I'm not sure it's realistic to think with that injury that he'll be winning titles shouldering the load

    At this point, it's really hard for me to imagine that the Nets are a title contender

    ^ completely owned. game set match. sorry teq

    I look forward to being a Warriors fan again. Maybe KD will finally get a ring once he’s healthy.

    NBA is a shot makers league and Kyrie made a great shot in that moment

    Everything he's shown since then suggests that he's a loser ...

    Couldn't take the pressure playing 2nd to LBJ, whined about wanting his own team, and forced a trade out of town

    Gets his own team with a legit title contender in Boston and essentially contributes to torpedo'ing the team in a way that hasn't happened in Boston since the late 70s ... they couldn't wait to get him out of town

    I expect that the same story will play out in Brooklyn ... where the media intensity won't settle down ...

    For as much as I appreciate KD's game, he's not exactly the best with the media and the attention that comes with it. It's something that Kyrie isn't good with either. How they react when all of the intensity is sitting right with them will be beyond interesting to watch.

    For better or worse, the Warriors basically allowed KD to be the best version of himself in so many ways.

    KD went about searching out a new challenge/opportunity which he is entitled to do so.

    His injury is one that it's hard to expect he'll come back the same ... 80% of him though is obviously still a great player.

    But there's good reason to be skeptical as to whether the Nets can win a title with this group ... it's far from a given.
