Durant

I wouldn't immediately dismiss it like some here, but deep down I know I wouldn't do the deal

It's still hard for me to believe that Durant, Curry, and Klay Thompson were on the same team. Curry is the greatest shooter of all time. Durant might be the second greatest shooter of all time or close to it. And Klay might be among the top 15 shooters of all time. It's just absurd that Golden State had all three of those guys in their prime.

Yep, and it took a perfect storm to accomplish too. It started with Golden State being able to sign Steph Curry to a team-friendly deal because of his constant ankle injuries. Then the cap increased significantly allowing the Warriors the opportunity to shift their payroll and find the ability to offer a maximum contract. And perhaps most importantly, Kevin Durant has the competitive fire of a newborn baby -- choosing to sign with the team that beat him in the the Conference Finals after he led 3-1. That perfect storm killed whatever parity the NBA had at the time and remains one of the more annoying dynasties in sports history.

I'm ok with it.

In large part because they (1) proved a legit team before and after Durant... (2) I liked them (lol)... and (3) mostly because it kept James from winning more titles with his own brand of contrived team building.

James deserved to though. He did not run. He left ineptitude.

They were afraid of him. They recruited Durant.
