How exactly are they worse on defense after swapping two shitty defensive guards and adding Crowder?

I’m not any coach can completely make a player, whose game is as dedicated and centered around iso ball as Kyrie’s, change to magically become a great distributor and pace/space guy (not to mention improve massively on defense).

This might surprise you, New Black Friend, but you too can buy a gun anywhere a white person can.

Correction: (white people) buy guns

I think it’s more like a game of pong, where the sun just bounces back and forth between the ends of the Earth.

In fairness, Lebron is reminded of “The Decision” pretty much daily, and if you’re talking to the anti-Lebron crowd they tend to reference the Mavs series as much as possible. Sprinkle in the Lebron’s mom talk .....

If we are basing this on statistical evidence, here is a link showing Lebron is statistically the better option:

I also see what you’re getting at, but I would point out that your rationale is a two-way street. The pro-Kaep group also doesn’t have a monopoly on the meaning of the flag for all Americans.

I get the point your trying to make, but no one gets to decide what the flag stands for. The meaning of the flag is different for every person, as we can see how the black community may view it differently (or what it represents) than the white community.

People compare the idea of signing Kaep to signing Vick, the Rice fiasco, but Kaep committed no crime.

I am looking into the costs of each. It’s literally as simple, not paying someone is cheaper than paying someone. You can train a slave (christ, this is a stupid hypothetical) the same you do a modern day employee, and simply not pay them any sort of wage/salary. Right there it is already cheaper, thus I don’t…

What’s the point? You have yet to elaborate on exactly what point you’re attempting to make.

I guess I’m confused at what point you’re attempting to make throughout all of your comments. I don’t think anyone here is disagreeing that modern day technology would take away jobs that slaves may have previously performed (wow, never thought I would be typing that sentence), but again there are plenty of things in…

Again, you’re arguing your own point, not mine. In relation to their talent level, Green/Klay/Curry were all on cheap contracts and that’s been said by plenty of folks during NBA games this past season. I don’t care how great their contracts were at the time they signed, or whatever reason they had for signing for the…

But you have to shelter them somewhere, and feed them something.

There’s not much point in this debate/discussion. I wasn’t in anyway trying to “save face” by stating their 2016/2017 salaries, since those would be the only ones relevant right now being that this is a discussion about how the Warriors got to be so dominant.

It’s not as if slaves lived in nice houses and were fed any sort of proper, nutritious meal, so the economics behind having a person do nothing but free labor all day still seems to make sense when the other (reality) choice is to pay someone $7.50/hr and have to treat them like an actual human being.

I’m not sure why you’re bringing up salaries beyond the 2016/2017 season, being that my argument applies solely to the seasons prior to now. I never said the players “relinquished a dime” or anything of the sort. My point is that their deals are great for the Warriors because they are extremely talented at such a…

That’s what I thought too, until I lived there and realized the winters are much worse. You can look up the average temps if you don’t believe me

Here are the salaries for the 2016/2017 Warriors:
