  Which I can see scumbag Riley doing. Also they are handling the bosh situation in a very sketchy way. I can see them pushing bosh to retirement so they can sign both.

  Warriors hire Mike Brown. Is Kerr trying to make life harder on himself?

  I'd put Durant ahead of KI and I wouldn't have Draymond as a top ten player. Swap in Lilliard for him and bump AD up one.
  
  I'd also put Curry above Westbrook.
• Commander of Awesome

  

  I love me some KI, but it's hard to put him in the top 10 with his lack of def and ast numbers. Green also is not a top 10 player, top 10 bitch boy for sure though. Paul George deserves to be in top 10 conversation, and reps for not putting Blake Griffin in the convo. I would also strongly consider removing CP from the top 10. Not a great defender, and always hurt.

  And this is not illegal?

  I don't think Durant to the Warriors is that big of a deal. Yes, they will be the best team in the league on paper but I don't see Curry, Thompson, Green, and Durant being able to all get their points much like Love to Cleveland or Bosh to Miami.
  
  I still think the Cavs can take that team in a 7 game series.
  
  Also, no chance he goes there in my opinion. Durant isn't going to go play in Curry's shadow. I'll add that I would actually like for GSW to get Durant for the opportunity for Lebron to destroy that team in the Finals.

  No shit. Hate when a star on a good winning teams jumps ship to join his buddies instead of trying to make it over the hump where he was.

  George was my first guy out and then Lillard.
  
  KI going head to head with Curry and beating him for an entire series...and Durant whiffed on a couple chances to take Warriors down. I know it's a team game but the playoffs weighed heavily for me.

  That is not the way i read this.
  
  Article 35A of the NBA Constitution states that it's a violation of the league's anti-tampering rule for any person affiliated with an NBA team to directly or indirectly (i) entice, induce, or persuade, or attempt to entice, induce or persuade, any player, coach, GM or other person under contract to any other NBA team to enter into negotiations for or relating to that person's services or to negotiate or contract for such services, or (ii) otherwise interfere with the employment relationship between that employee and the other NBA team."
• Azubuike24

  

  We all know players talk. You don't think LeBron talked to others about Miami before leaving? We hear rumors of players talking about joining up all the time, some of them have to be true. Big difference between players recruiting players versus executives or coaches doing it.

  every nba player should be fined then
• Azubuike24

  

  Exactly. This is just a very high profile case of it. Every player in the league is likely guilty of it though, so you can't really enforce it.

  Much to Twitter's delight, Noah likely headed to the Knicks. Darn. I was looking forward to Dwight Howard joining Rose and Carmelo.

  I know it's crazy but things like this make me believe I could be a halfway decent GM for a pro sports team right now.
