Yeah, that's downside of KD's career, if he hadn't join the Warriors back then, he might have difficult time to win a ring in his career. And thanks to his bold move although unpopular opinion back back as he become one of the most hated player by the OKC, it paid off handsomely for him.

But he needs to win more though, because that stigma winning in the Warriors uniform will haunt him.

So time for him to build chemistry with Booker and Beal as Phoenix Suns.

You mean Marcus Smart? He did not leave the team; he was actually traded, and based on his interview, he was even surprised that it happened. Well, this is business, and the management has the right to make a decision for the good of the team. Maybe Marcus Smart does not play based on their expectations anymore.

Some players are not skilled enough to bring their team to the finals without having multiple help from their teammates and that's exactly what we have seen with Embiid because he has been playing in the NBA playoffs in the last few years but his luck is no different than the last time when they always knockoff and can't get to the NBA finals for even one time. KD was different because they were able to play in the NBA finals with WB and others but instead of further improving the team to win it next time, he decided to get off and go to a superteam which doesn't really need him to win the championship but no questions when he gets there, that's exactly the year they need him to win those hard games.

It is what it is. Sometimes the teams enter authority deliberately and keep the fan in the dark. Of course, if a player who is a fan favorite, does get traded by the authority, it can actually cause a lot of problems. The fans can actually have an outburst.

So sometimes it is actually better for the authority to not let the people know about everything. And I am actually not taking any sides here. I believe the authority has the power to create a player if they think that is going to be best for the team, and it does not matter what the authority thinks or what the fans think. Sometimes trade works out, and sometimes it does not.

But thing about Brown is he already hinted last season that he will be moving to another team if they cannot have any impressive comeback or achievements, unfortunately, the Celtics failed to participate again in the Finals as they lost to the Miami Heat in the conference finals and almost got swept too. So, I think that Brown will just vacate his position in the Celtics in the upcoming seasons regardless of the amount he will be signing with the Celtics. I sure do hope as well that the Celtics have thought about this so well.

People are not aware of the inflation I suppose. Players like Jaylen Brown get the biggest contracts because that's the first one, you are going to see a lot more players get these type of contracts after this one because we are seeing inflation, the amount of profit the teams make versus the max contract they can give changes, and that means more and more money for the players.

I understand the logic that we are seeing bigger than ever contracts, but Mozgov made more money in 2016 contract than Micheal Jordan ever did, this doesn't mean Mozgov was better player, hell Lakers barely used him back then, it just means inflation is real and amounts increase all the time. We will see 300-400-500 millions in the future easily.

I agree with the point about Embiid. Even Michael Jordan needed a really solid teammates to win championships and also even Rodman for the second three-peat. He couldn't do anything alone in the 80s, even though amazing performances. His series against the Celtics with Bird comes to mind first. Even though KD's team with Thunder was better in my opinion, I mean more suitable to win the title, they couldn't do it and KD went to the already contender Warriors. I also agree with the first point that KD's rings look weak because he could only get with Warriors. And also, I think time of KD is almost finished. I don't think he can get a ring after this age.

I remember this. It is quite unfortunate that they cannot play longer together. The Thunders have these amazing talents together but cannot seem to get anything from them. They just failed to make them champions. They have to break them because of salary, I think. Eventually, they left Thunders without any accomplishments. Durant became a Warrior and won 2 championships. Ibaka eventually won a ring with the Raptors. Harden and Westbrook are still chasing their rings.


I do not know if he is already done. He can still perform at a high level of basketball. And now that he is surrounded by equally talented players around him, he still has a big chance of making another run for the championship. It is just a waste that he spent a lot of good years with toxic teammates in Brooklyn. Hopefully, it will be different with the Suns. I am hoping that he can have a better dynamic with Booker and the rest of the squad. As long as they do not clash on who the real alpha leader of the Suns is, I think they have a big chance of making it big this year. CP3 made a good job mentoring Booker during his stay with the Suns. It is time for Booker to show his growth despite under a different leadership at this point.


Kyrie has always been a good individual player. It is his professionalism and antics that always get in the way of him and the team gelling together. Hopefully, it will be a different story with Dallas. He is yet to prove that he can be a champion outside the shadow of Lebron.

Well, I am not really ashamed in saying I am a fan of Stephen Curry well whether it is on Basketball on golf I got mesmerized by watching him play, well there is something about him that makes you want to play aswell, it is like a motivation and those slick moves on the court I also try and do it every time we had a basketball session at home,

And we can not see the future so yeah if his career is over in the NBA maybe he can become a professional golfer for sure, who knows,


Well, maybe you are right they surely got big guys back then, and maybe JaVale McGee is just not fit for them anymore, or because they got their younger start they would just focus on training them in becoming their own legend but for sure just 2 to 4 years time is the years that Stephen Curry can play on his prime, maybe I think they are aiming at those years in getting as many rings as possible because they are focusing into Stephen Curry right now or they will surely use those years in creating a team that could Circulate as a sole supporting players for Stephen Curry,

Well, if not then the Golden State Warriors should get the Filipino player Kai Sotto instead and develop the kid's talent even further well how I really wish this to happen a Filipino player on my favorite team will be a gift for me this Christmas, well, if you know Kai Sotto I think I don't need to explain his potential but if you don't check his highlights, and the Warriors is finding a 7 foot 3 unicorn like Wembanyama,

Not sure about it but just a guess of mine, Celtics might have been influenced by that decision, by who knows something a reputable person, or maybe Jayson Tatum itself. I don't consider the reason that Celtics don't want to lose Jaylen Brown where in fact, they seem to be urged at trading him. Remember back during the hot trend of Kevin Durant wanting out of the Brooklyn Nets, Brown was considered as a trading piece in exchange for Durant.

It's that a month ago when Celtics now change their future goals with Jaylen Brown and decided to offer a max contract extension to keep him on the team as he's eligible for it. Personally, for me, that was a good decision for the Celtics but offering Brown a max extension means the team has no more plans to add another Superstar caliber on the roster as Tatum is also under a huge contract and aside from that, it was expected that he will also get the same huge contract if he won't decline his player option on his final seasons with the current contract.
