    How is this different from pedo and Payton joining the Lakers? Or Lebron and the Heatles? Or Dwight and Nash to the Lakers? Or even Aldridge to the Spurs.

    They all want to win a ring, and they realized the super teams or good teams they join give them the best chances. They are right sometimes, wrong others. let's wait another 10 or 11 months to see what comes out of this.
    I posted the answer to this question just a couple of posts above, tbh.

    Aldridge isn't a superstar. Neither were Payton, Nash and Dwight. Those guys didn't have the skill and talent of Durant. As far as LeBron, he joined a team and turned them into a le team. Durant, loses one ing series to the Warriors and bails immediately even though he was the reason they blew that lead. This is MUCH worse. He leaves a contender to join a powerhouse. It's very weak.

    I don't understand why people are surprised, though

    Dominos just spent his entire career in a small-market where Westbrook received virtually all the blame for their failures..he would never opt to join a team where he's the only or even primary star, he's one of the most sensitive athletes we have ever seen..
    In all fairness...isnt KD one of the nicest quietest guys ever? It's almost as if hes saying yes I'm beta and I dont mind...leave me be. Or did I miss something?

    And there is a place all set for him there with State, just like there was one there with the Spurs.

    Like Gasol---Durant was made for the Spurs.

    Signing with the team that just defeated you is pretty weak

    Imagine if Lebron had joined the Pierce/KG/Allen Celtics..

    No its not..that only applies if that team wins the le enroute to beating you

    Kobe, Air Jaundice, and Jim never left their teams. LeHype is not cut from the same cloth.
    wrong, Kobe demanded a trade from the team that drafted him before he ever suited up for them

    So pat Riley got better gm skills. You gotta be in edible naive to think that that the three guys didn't collude ahead of time, and they still managed to lose to the Mavs the first time around.

    So you are saying Durant haven't done this before? Of course the other guys do not have his skills because the only person in history of mankind to be exactly like Durant doing exactly what Durant did was Durant doing what he just did. Malone left the Jazz to join the lakers. Dwight led his magic to the finals only a few years before he joined the lakers.

    Durant wants to coattail ride, but he is t the first one to do it

    Has a top 3 player ever left a stacked team to go join a team that had beat him and almost repeated? I mean has that ever happened through free agency? Btw, Dwight didn't want to play for the Lakers, he went by trade.

    It's a specious statement/argument prompted by the tired old ass Media, dj. Christ, and you picked it up off the in' side of the road---then dragged it in here.

    BS. It wasn't chicken when James did it. It's never been chicken .

    You're trying to win a championship. You do whatever it takes.

    Yet you go around saying certain players don't have "It". So apparently, there is something wrong with it. Oh, and LeBron didn't leave a le contender. Durant did. He's a coward.

    And this player/Durant went where "It" won't be dependent upon him.

    He's a perfect follower.

    How many time have a top 3 player entered free agency?

    Lebron, the top player, left through FA.
    Chamberlain demanded a trade during his peak.
    Jabbar demanded a trade during his peak.

    You are basically saying this is a unique situation by putting in qualifiers after qualifiers until it is a unique situation.

    But the crux of the issue is that a top player has joined a contender to ring, and it has happened multiple times in the past.
