lmao you guys were happy when he chased a ring with spurs but mad about him joining the best team in the league for a ring???
Primarily because of age, those Spurs didn't look like these Warriors and the state of the league was different. Many actually thought 6 teams (Rockets) had a legit chance. Right now, many think 2 do.
Obviously, I can't speak for West, but I think he thought they probably had a similar chance and that all things being equal, he'd rather be a Spur.
The Heat were different too. James's and Wade's games were always an awkward fit, Wade was past his prime after '11 and between the Spurs and Thunder, they were never favorites to the extent the Warriors are.
The premise is the same, but the situation is totally different and if he had picked the Warriors in '15, Durant signed with the Spurs and he jumped ship, I'd be saying the same thing.

With west on GS, that's a good thing for us. I hope no one here is upset that defenseless er is gone
Best leader in the NBA got baited by LeBron into a grade-school scuffle on the biggest stage a year after being benched in favor of David Lee.Eh, he stupidly joined a team with Lamarcus Aldridge in an attempt to win a ring
Can't blame him for giving it another shot after giving up all that money..he made the logical choice by joining the Warriors and the best leader in the NBA(Draymond), tbh..
I didn't read any of this thread, so apologies if it's been asked already, but if he couldn't pass up the opportunity to play with Kevin Durant, then how the did he agree to sign with them while Durant's team was still alive in the playoffs? Signs point to the fact that David West is a ing idiot.
Lol... shut the up you wet gots... lol
He didn't join the Cavs
Bandwagoner recognizes bandwagoner
Loser never fit anyway. If it were someone more valuable I'd be pissed.
If he wants to give up money to chase a ring, good for him. He'd be a damn fool to do it anywhere but GS or Cleveland. I don't give a about that part.
But for the record, West didn't decline his player option until June 13 - a full month after he says they contacted him. If he's telling the truth, then it was tampering. If he just made up that would cause his (new) team a problem, then we didn't need his dumb ass hanging around here anyway.
If the league doesn't want to enforce it's own rule, they should get rid of it. If they want to selectively enforce their own rule, they're putting themselves in the same category as the WWF. The Rockets got a big-assed fine a few years ago for publishing scouting reports on free agents. Not that a fine is any big deal to these owners.
He joined the Cavs? I thought he joined GSW? You know the team that won all those RS games only to blow a 3-1 lead in the Finals.
If he and Durant have said what they've said, why isn't the NBA looking into it?
If they find out they were tapering, then I think the Warriors need to lose draft picks and fined. That should satisfy a lot of the owners that were pissed about them getting a top 5 player after finishing with the best regular season record in NBA history.
What Durant did isn't a problem. It's only tampering if you try to influence a player who is under contract to another team. Durant didn't contact West until after West had declined his player option. That was after Durant had a deal with GSW, which was after the moratorium. It's the comment about the Warriors talking to him within days of the Spurs' last game. I don't see any way around that being tampering. It doesn't matter if they went through his agent, it's tampering. Like I said, if they don't want to enforce their own rules, or want to enforce it selectively, they need to get rid of the rule.
I'm gonnaif West tears an ACL tbh.. desperate mother er wouldn't even care though, he'd still get a ring
good luck to GSW with DWest. (not!) look who was getting that block and who was standing arms wide open ... (would not have grabbed the board if that didn't go in either).
Did this sorry ass get cut from GS or something?
Probably GSW signed him to get Spurs' corporate knowledge
Nah he has an injury.Did this sorry ass get cut from GS or something?
Meanwhile, the Warriors are beating the Clippers by 40+, when the Spurs couldn't beat them at all.... Warriors will destroy the Spurs.
Warriors game is boring. It was over by the half. NBA ratings are going to suck. Last week was a good game. The one tonight was a slaughter.
If Paul, Mills, Danny, an Ginobili doesn't come to play, we don't stand a chance. I can honestly see why everyone has already put them in the finals. Today was the 1st time i actually felt no one has a chance to beat them. But still..... KD!!!! That nicca is dumpsta juice. I dislike this poohcey more than any weak nicca I've ever had disliked...
did ya miss the season opener?
obviously they did. The ONLY way we lose to them in a series is is Poopovich starts his bull . GS seems to be the only team he actually coaches to win against. Everyone else it seems as if he's point shaving.
KD is a . I have never had any respect for him especially when he went on a jealous rant against Kawhi after Kawhi had won Finals MVP. In general I don't respect passive aggressive people and Durant falls in that category. The guy did not have the balls to speak up and admit it while he was in OKC that he didn't like playing with Westbrook. Instead Durant would suck up to Westbrook and say stupid like "I need him to take all of shots and if he's not taking enough shots I get frustrated" but then would whine and cry behind close doors that Russ was a ball hog. His passive aggressive personality is the reason why Draymond has been able to become his new father. That's one thing I do find funny how Draymond owns Kevin and it's very evident by the way he talks down to him during games. If he win's the le this year it will be hollow and I don't see his legacy improving by that much. He will never be in the same pantheon of greats as Lebron,Duncan,Shaq and even Kobe.
Man, the Warriors must really hate the Clippers. They seem to give them some big time beatdowns, especially so after that smack that the Clippers talked about the Warriors after they won it in 2015. I think the Clippers were jealous and thought since they beat the Warriors in the 2014 playoffs that they could beat them whenever they wanted to. They choked against Houston, so it's their own fault as they very well could have beaten the Warriors in 2015 playoffs if they didn't choke against the Rockets.
Big mistake, since the Warriors don't forget any slight as they seem to use it as bulletin board material.
