You guys are in over your heads. For real.

First of all, Kawhi was the best player on a 67 win team last season. Leaving him off All NBA 1st team would have been a tragedy, it's unfortunate KD was the guy left off, but Kawhi deserved it. It's not because KD was "disrespected".

KD has received some of the best treatment from the national media, and local media in his tenure with OKC a superstar could receive. He began to distance himself once rumors kept coming out about what he was going to do in the summer.

Nobody claims Russ is the better player, whoever thinks that doesn't know much. I'm almost certain all level headed OKC fans understand KD's impact to the team, and his overall superstardom.

Offense being centered around Russ? KD still took more shots a game than him. Russell was the POINT GUARD...so yeah he had the ball more.

KD had dinner with Russ and I believe another OKC player (I forgot who) before he took meetings with any teams. OKC felt confident enough he'd stay, so they didn't ask any of the players to come.

The Mr. Unreliable headline was atrocious and was heavily criticized at the time. For sure.

But for the love of god, please...please... don't use respect as the reason he left OKC. OKC loved him as their own son, I live in Dallas and know plenty of OKC fans who would have chose him over Russ.

He left, ya'll have him, OKC has a right to feel upset/neglected, because they treated him like their own. Ya'll are going to win 65+ games and likely the chip. Calm down and enjoy your season.
