KD should have had a better career.

Still gonna go down as maybe my favorite player ever not counting Melo who is my favorite due to the Knicks ties.

I don't think I've ever enjoyed watching a player more than I did and do watching KD.

Im not even mad at the team up with the warriors. I just think he either made some bad decisions after that with the Nets and Suns choices not working out, or, he just got bad luck. Idk what it is. But his career should have had even more success

He had a great career and this is still probably one of the worst outcomes if you were to do his career over 100 times

I'm going to sound extremely biased of course but trying to put that aside

I genuinely think(and I said this at the time) the move that made most sense for him at the time would've been coming to Houston instead of Golden State

You went to school in Texas
Prime Harden and PJ Tucker were here
Could've easily said that Im tried win Westbrook now I'm going to try to win wirh Harden....which he tried to do later anyway
We were the only other team really trying to compete with the Warrirors


He would've got all the love that he never got in Golden State

It is what it is though

Should’ve just had OKC move Russ

He clearly couldn’t win with him and Russ couldn’t win a series without KD

But it was easier to just leave so I understand

But I’d like to think about KD playing with prime Demarcus Cousins at the time to go up against the rockets and warriors at that time

At that time he had great value but idk if OKC would’ve done it just a few years after moving harden

From like 2013-2017 Demarcus Cousins was a complete monster

Truly a talent that was ahead of his time...Josh Smith too

Another reason why the Kings piss me off so much, I'll never forgive them for what they did to Cousins

It's also crazy thinking about it now how he went to New Orleans and immediately blew out his achilles....like wtf is going on down there smh

My scenario would’ve saved him from that injury

Cousins was my 3rd fav player at one point

I hate how his career went

Just a waste

I agree KD still had an incredible career. And he's not looking like he's gonna slow down anytime soon. He has nagging injuries here and there so I don't think he'll play 70+ games a season again, but I can see him playing around 60 games at a high level for the next handful of years.

The reason I say his career should have been better is because I rate him as someone who could have been top 20 all time, and he just didn't have the career those guys usually have.

Hopefully his next move is his best move.

Come to the Knicks KD

It’s been good so far for them

Jimmy is a good guy to play opposite of Steph because the contrasting styles play off each other well

Jimmy is a good playmaker and good off ball defender and he can put pressure on the other team drawing fouls on multiple players and slow down the game so Steph old ass can be less tired

lol niggas was crying for miles bridges

 

[southsil4lil]

Don't get why they just didn't flip him for a big return at the deadline if they know this is inevitable
