Did lebron start this colluding culture??

[NZStreetBaller]

Loyalty ended at kobe.

Durant
D rose
Possibly d wade

I never thought id see any of them go.... atleast mike conley is loyal to the grizz

Players watch lebron get mad credit and respect and improved hos legacy by completely disregarding loyalty so theyre all like. Eh what the hell. Ill look for the most talent i can find and go there. The fans will get over it. Just look at lebron

[Ben Simmons]

The only reason Kobe isnt gone is because of forces beyond his control

[PacerRaptor]

Nope. Remember when Malone and Payton joined the Lakers?

[PistonsFan#21]

Aren't you a celtics fan? Have you forgotten the Celtics big 3 back in 2008?

[masonanddixon]

It's all a part of Obama society. Have no pride, take no responsibility for anything, have no integrity, and just join others when the going gets tough!

[diamenz]

this is just my opinion, but i don't call it colluding when you're past your prime like payton, malone and wade are. they've earned their keep - if they want more rings (or a ring lol), go for it.

rose is just a bitch.

[Prime_Shaq]

Its been going on for years. Celtics in 08. Lakers in 04. Rocket in 99.

[SilkkTheShocker]

Some of you guys really need to learn what collude means. Bunch of morons on here.

D Rose going to the Knicks isn't commission or a bitch move.

People aren't even using the term "colluding" correctly.

It rarely works, and when it does, you may get no more than 2 or 3 championships like the Lakers and the Heat.

Does KD not understand that games are played with only one basketball at a time??

There was a long tradition of older superstars teaming up and losing most of the time (69+ Lakers, 90's Rockets, 04 Lakers).

But ever since the Celtics made a superteam out of "end of their prime" superstars (and then Lebron taking it one step futher) it has worked every single time.

2008
2012
2013
2016

IMO, it started when KG, Pierce & Allen joined together. They were all in their prime at the time leading their own teams.
