Officially done with the nba. Absolutely love the rockets. They were my childhood and always been my favorite pro team even over Texans and Astros but I'm officially done.

Warriors have the impossible. They have the best starting 5 lineup in the entire league.

Maybe this is why LeLakers clearly don't GAF about 2018-19.

Seriously the NBA just put the barrel in its mouth and pulled the trigger. It's over. Vegas will make them an astounding favorite. Maybe highest ever

They just added a guy who was averaging 25 and 12 last year for the tax payers mid level exception. Only saving grace is he and draymond are going to murder each other

I'm 26 and that's the best team I've ever been alive to see assembled.

I think if Lebron had joined the Rockets they'd have contended with them. No chance now that he's a Laker.

Go ahead and crown them.

Stern would never let something like this happen. Grow a spine and veto this **** Silver.

So what team is going to be crowned runner up when the lose in the wcf?

Wow. This has to be the biggest ring chase move in the history of basketball, and I don't think it's even close. He's a 30 million dollar/year guy playing for 5.

Im checking out this year. LeBron went to LA for a retirement package. Had he gone to Philly, Boston, or Houston. There would be a chance.

But that starting 5 may be the greatest line up ever. All are in their prime. All are young enough to stay for another 5 years. Who wants to watch this?

Cousins will ruin them. When has that guy ever won as a pro?

Also, players eat up Kerr's SJW attitude probably. But hey, can't gripe, they're within the rules. My problem is the league has become such a buddy buddy league it's ridiculous.

Green and Thompson gonna be chasing the money soon.

These guys ain't gonna be with the Warriors in two years let alone five.

That's a pretty good all star team starting lineup, let alone an actual team.

I dont think Boogie will ruin anything. He could've gone anywhere for any amount of money, and he chose to ring chase one year. I really wish Stern was still the commissioner.

I agree, but situations like KD and Cousins have created a cycle. As one or two leave, others will want to come in. Cousins accepted bench money to essentially just show up in the play offs.

Definitely. Curry, Durant, and Cousins are all 1st teamers. Green is on the 1st/2nd team edge. Thompson is probably a 3rd teamer.

Truly idiotic. Silver should have blocked this. Ridiculous ring chasing.

If I were Thompson or Green I would probably stay in GS with a salary cut. They will make more through endorsements and they are part of something historic. This is prehistoric Celtics level stuff, only there are 30 teams instead of 8.

Have to think the league or even player's association will come up with something to prevent this from happening again.

Silver isn't going to block FA from ring chasing. Nor should he.

What are you going to do? Have all GMs get together every three years and do a fantasy draft of every player in the NBA?

Don't overreact to this. Cousins won't be healthy, his style of play doesn't fit, and he's a bad defender even when healthy. It looks insurmountable on paper but in reality I don't see it.

This is what happens when you give too much power to the players at collective bargaining. The NBA has turned into a league where the entertainment derived comes from the off-court feuds and knuckle-head antics of its players and not from the actual play.

I don't watch the NBA during the regular season because the players don't try/care. I didn't watch any of this years playoffs because it was obvious the warriors were going to win. There is no reason why anyone who wants to be entertained would watch this trash league.

If the league blocked the Paul trade a few years back, this doesn't seem like a stretch. It's just horribly anti-competitive and removes all drama from the season.

It's an ENORMOUS leap from blocking a trade to telling a player he can't play ina certain city for a discount.

Will each player get a list of teams they are allowed to play for when free agency begins?
