How is Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green not obviously better than Russell Westbrook, Victor Oladipo and Steven Adams? You can argue the Westbrook-Curry part. But Green is better than Adams. Maybe not by a ton but he is better. And there is no need to discuss Klay to Vic. They aren't on the same planet.

Not that I disagree fully but nice jab anti IU again. Any chance to slam anything IU, you find a way. Vic is a solid player. He is on the same planet. Much different players. Yes, I'd take Klay for now but no need to word it like you did other than slamming on all things IU.

And now he has Curry, Thompson and Green... that is obviously way better.

Way better for KD perhaps?  I'm too much of a basketball fan to want to watch an all-star team (which the Warriors just became) play a regular season schedule.  What's the point in that?

The million dollar question???

How does Lebron feel about this? He was just out-Lebroned.

I like Lebron and generally root for him. I genuinely wonder what his next trump move will be. His prime is waning. 2-4 more years.

He is probably shaking in his boots as is the rest of the NBA.

Granted, as we IU fans know, chemistry is everything. GSW uses 1 ball. I am excited to see how it pans out.

Just my opinion but for the Warriors team I'm not sure I'd say Green is a better option then Adams. Steph Klay and Durant shouldn't need another guy putting up a bunch of shots, then need a rim protector and rebounder two areas Adams excels and two areas I thought killed them in the playoffs, and of course sub par play from their stars.

Not sure how LeBron feels about it but the NBA LOVES the storyline.

Last year: Warriors beat depleted Cavs lead by best player in the universe.

Past season: LeBron is triumphant after being down 3-1 to best regular season of all time

Offseason: Loaded GSW land previous league MVP to battle Cavs

Future... Cavs move Love and possibly land a Wade, CP3, or other players to match GSW

Great, great storylines to keep National Basketball Entertainment fans coming back for more.

Klay Thompson is an All-NBA player, would be a super star on any team. He is one of the best shooters of all time and one of the best perimeter defenders in the NBA. Yes, he is a better defender than Vic. I love Vic but that is just the truth. Vic is a role player in the NBA.

Keith Smart joining the Memphis Grizzlies as an Ass't. Coach.    He's had to deal with some health issues and it's nice to see him back in the game.

It's unfortunate but I'm glad he finally did it. That organization has used him too many times.

They've treated him better than most athletes get.

Be that as it may if you've left millions on the table for many years and brought the franchise 3 championships you think you'd get treated better.

That was his choice though. He wanted LeBron and Bosh there and he got them. He knew he'd have to give up money to make it happen. I love Wade and wish he would retire with Miami but him taking less money was his choice to get what he wants. I don't blame Miami for not paying him what he is wanting.

What about all the other years? He's never been the highest paid player on his team, but is the most important player in franchise history. I understand it was his choice but shouldn't you reward him for being selfless enough to make that choice?

The Heat were stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Not sure this makes the Bulls much better as Wade doesn't really seem to fit them.

[Naturalhoosier 15,478]

Lol he gave up money?! I'm not feeling sorry for any of these guys. They don't live paycheck to paycheck. A few million to them is like quarters to us.

Have you ever seen the 30/30 film called 'Broke'? Unfortunately, some of these guys live for today, make some bad decisions, or plain get duped and manage to bilk away millions upon millions.

Again, not crying for them at all. They make errant financial decisions thats their own fault.

I am not a Heat fan, but, I am glad to see a franchise not mortgage the next few years on a huge contract for an aging and oftten injured superstar, like the Lakers did with Kobe.
