Can you blame them though? It's the club owners' fault.

Also, I know Durant choose to earn less in order to win more rings, but it's still weird that Mike Conley (never all-star) is earning more than him.

 

[CHBB2]

Conley is a true franchise player. It's not weird at all. He's just been injured recently. He's getting paid now for all the years he was underpaid, and multiple teams were fully prepared to offer him the max if Memphis didn't.

But yeah I agree. I never blame the player for accepting the money. Who wouldn't?

 

[Edith Compos2]

There is no way for Durant to log off at this point. He is too deep, and apparently so concerned with haters online that he once had a burner account. Smart business management would take social media away from him completely, and pay someone $80,000 to follow him around at all times to be his social media person.

It doesn’t seem like Durant is going to do that, and so we’ll probably still get the kind of content we expect from him moving forward. Nowitzki seems to like it, and so do we. Keep on subtweeting, Kev.

 

[CHBB2]

Are you copying and pasting Complex or Vice or something?

Anyway, KD is a punk. He's vain, can't handle criticism (except maybe from Steve Kerr, who knows), runs his mouth like a tough guy then punks out, and is in general clearly basically a child. His actions don't surprise me at all, nor do his apologists trying to justify or excuse them.

If I had his money, I wouldn't read a single comment, etc.

Until Durant back up his talks on basketball court in playoffs and finals he can talk what ever he wants he earned the right to do some trash talk after performances he is putting on .21 century and he is tweeter person .Maybe thats motivates him and puts some fire on him, who knows,he doesnt want to be that too nice oklahoma Durant version .When let that brainsless westbrick be alpha dog and lost atleast 1-2 rings doing that .Without Kd Rw can even win one playoffs serries.Now Durant mindset f*** off all the critics im the best baller in the world and im taking over whatever i want and you can cry as much as you want.

Nba superstars is huge now, one disrecpecting multiple times usa president or writting complinents to himself how good he is and how much he accomplished, other is trash talking fans and doing fake accounts and acting super tough guy.Those nba top10 players can say and do what ever they want in todays america .There is no bigger stars in world of sport than nba stars.3rd star saying loudly im not playing and yoy still gonna pay me 20millions and so on and on.Thats nba reality today

 

[CHBB2]

Durant can think whatever he wants but it will never be true. He's not even the best player on his own team. He's a complementary piece who can't handle the pressure or responsibility of being the guy. I feel bad for any team dumb enough to sign him as their franchise player based on his good performances with the Warriors.

And Westbrook has more heart than he ever will. The idea that KD somehow has more basketball IQ is laughable. Westbrook is a true leader who carried the same team to the playoffs that Durant trashed as being nothing. KD had the best young team in the league and only made it to the Finals once.
