It can't be that hard considering every NBA player is desperate for a ring. You said it yourself.

I would have preferred Durant going to the Spurs or Rockets. It would seem less like a move out of desperation.

Now if somehow, some way, the Cavs manage to win this series, I'll forgive Durant. 'til then, I need to see him struggle and lose games with these Warriors before I'm happy seeing him win.

Lebron had to struggle before he could get a ring with the Heat. I want to see Durant do the same.

Yeah, I'm disappointed. I get that others aren't and hey, good for them.

As for me, I'll go watch something else.

Are you choosing not to get the logistics behind the salary cap just so you don't have to admit you don't know what you are talking about? The ability to get that amount of talent on one team AND have them agree to only take a fifth of what they are valued is non-existant. Never mind the rest of the players on the bench would have to be the least valuable players in the NBA. It just doesn't work like that. That situation isn't even comparable to KD's situation considering he's the highest payed one on GSW and KD fits right into GSW like a charm; he's compatible.

So your forgiveness of a situation relies on the outcome of another situation? This is what someone would say if they had a low level of discernment towards any given situation. You need to see him struggle? He's getting points/assists/rebounds and will likely break a couple playoff records, sweats all throughout each game making game ending shots, leaves it all out on the court...but he needs to struggle more?

You are a classic case of someone who judges someone based on the outcome as opposed to their ability. The funny thing is...you are open about it, lol. The cognition of some people, I tell ya.

I'd go watch something else too if I didn't understand what I was watching.

I just don't want to see a big talent like KD win a ring after going to a big team like the Warriors, a historic team that beat KD's Thunder the season prior. I think it encourages talent getting focused on just a few teams resulting in several sweeps like we just did this year's playoffs.
