You can see why so many would be pissed. Its not like we won a championship 2 years ago and then traded for AD. Plus, the hate was more directed at Durant than GS.
Lebron and AD joined a a 30 win team, not a 70 win team.
You can't look at it like this. The warriors built their team whereas the Lakers just happened to be the franchise superstars decided to join. The warriors get flack with their first championship because of the Cavs injuries in the first finals, but then get flack for bringing in durant because they were a superior team. Can't argue both.
Its hard to find a lot of examples of a top 3 player in his prime joining an already great team. That just doesn't happen. Especially when you lost to the team he just joined.
And like i said before, "buying" championships isnt new, i can list you multiple championships, that you call "bought".
Plus, its Durant that got most the hate. You cant blame GS for doing it, any other team would've done the same. It was chicken s**t for Durant to take the easy way out. And once again, AD and Bron didnt join a great team, they both created this team. It was a 30 win team before they got here. If you cant understand this, please see Stoneys post
