Other teams won in the 90s and other teams were better than the teams competing against GSW now. It is boring and many people feel the same way I do. I will take the 90s and 80s over now days any day of the week.

Lakers

Trail Blazers

Suns

Sonics

Utah (twice)

Utah had the best chance to beat the bulls in the finals and they couldn't do it. The NBA has never had parity. Even the Celtics in the 60's-70's won a bunch a titles.

Sadly it will for me but to each his own. The NBA is becoming garbage. :+(

I wish the NBA had more parity but its just the way it is. We still have a championship caliber football team.

Still better teams with more talent and more hope than now days. The NBA of today has a few super stars back in those days plenty of teams had star players and plenty of talent just dynasties had better teams of course. The NBA is becoming too repetitive and again its popularity is dying. Heard a report that the NFL is the most popular among young people and you know who is second? Soccer. People get tired of teams not being able to compete and a perfect example is how a team like the Carolina Panthers can make it all the way to the super bowl any given year in the NFL. That is not happening in the NBA.

Hell, I ain't mad at him. KD ain't getting any younger and he wants to get a ring. I doubt he'd get that in OKC. Westbrook was probably leaving after this year anyways.

Plus, I imagine it would be fun playing with the current Warriors team. They seem like they have a ton of fun, kind of like our panthers, and I bet KD was really attracted to that.

I agree look at the NBA Champions of the past 30 years, its mostly the same team, nothing has changed

I wanted to see KD stay and win a title in OKC, but I can't blame him for leaving either. Why not try and win as many championships as possible. Why be Reggie Miller when you can be Lebron James.

A few differences here from LeBron:
1) Durant isn't from Oklahoma City. He was born in DC, played college ball at Texas, and was drafted in Seattle before they were moved to OKC. LeBron was born and raised in the Ohio region.
2) This deal only involves Durant; yes, GS has Curry and Thompson, but this doesn't involve moving a third All-Star (Bosh) to create a superteam. This isn't a multi team deal to create one superteazm, but rather an already talented team getting better.
3) This wasn't announced in a TV special, but in a letter.

This sounds exactly like what lebrick did a few years back.....

 

except i love this move my hatred for lebron James is so great and I don't see him beating the Warriors again with KD on deck go warriors!

Lebron leaving for Miami actually helped Cleveland win the championship years later. Now he's the most popular Cleveland athlete ever once again.

Except the talent level on all the teams. Less talent level now. That is my major gripe.

But even with more talent overall, parity still didn't exist. For example the Hornets had Alonzo Mourning and Larry Johnson two all stars, one who would go to the Hall of Fame but still couldn't compete against the Bulls in the playoffs.

Would still rather my team have star players and a chance even if small than no chance at all. Again we can agree to disagree.

Yeah, I agree.

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
