I’ve played enough 2K My League mode to understand one thing – basketball can be a dirty game. Even though I always make the most terrible decisions in the offseason (because I’d be a terrible GM), shaking up the league is always my aim. And some people think that D. Wade and LeBron are doing the same thing right now.

It’s safe to say no one (except Golden State) is happy about the Durant deal.

Most of all is King James. KD has joined the Warriors in an effort to form a Voltron-like championship-winning machine. What future opponent would be happy about that?

And thus (according to the TL) a plan was formed.

This is all some next level stuff. If true, not only does this mean that Bron and Wade are so shook about the new Warriors that they hatched this up, but also that they are the NBA kings of petty. What kind of grown men sit around with their baes, sipping tropical drinks and ruining the plans of other men? What part of the game is that? I honestly don’t believe this is true, but I have been informed that this scenario could be legitimate. Those things could actually happen. And if they do, it will be soon because today (July 7th) is when paperwork gets signed.

Is LeBron James’ petty level over 9000? Will Russell Westbrook ever recover from the abrupt and bitter end to his near-decade-long bromance with Kevin Durant? Is the timeline really just reaching like always? Find out next time on: Basketball Z.
