So, you personally would turn down a better job? Why?
I don't give a **** about Durant's job satisfaction. One of the best offensive players of all time decided to join a historically elite team in order to easily win championships. That's reason enough to root against him. Do you even watch sports, bro?
Way to generic. Lots of reasons someone might turn down a job. Why would one turn down playing for the GSW? Depends on the person and the circumstances.
The job is being a basketball player and getting paid buku bucks. In the real world a better job is usually getting more money, getting more responsibility (like upward mobility in a company), etc. Durant has the same job, actually in real life terms you might say he took a worse job. He went from being a CEO to a dude on the board (my corporate metaphors are probably lacking). You could say he went to a better "company" but he was already on a damn good one that had a 3-1 lead over the ****ing Warrios. KD is a bish.
What part of being in Golden State is better? I guess location is the obvious answer, and something I agree with. Bay Area > Oklahoma City.
But how much time do NBA players actually spend in their team's city? You have enough money to live anywhere. I doubt sponsorship money has changed that much with Durant since the move. He already had a top selling signature line and was very popular.
Does having an easier time getting wins make it a better job? Are easy wins more conductive to having fun in basketball? When you play pickup basketball do you have more fun if you are a top 5 player on the court and the other 4 are all on your team?
I guess "better job" is subjective in the NBA. KD picked what he wanted, so he took the better job in his eyes I'd assume. It's also ok for everyone to call him a bitch-made player for joining a team that he lost a 3-1 lead to in the Conference Finals. He is taking the most millennial approach to getting a championship ever, and I'm someone who hates when people say millennial to describe anything.

You can't compare competitive sports with a regular job. It's like, if you can't beat them, then join them. What kind of true competitor does that -- only one who is a whimp.

With Favs healthy I don't get the need for Bogut. One could easily argue that DF more natural position is the 5. He's better than most in the league at that pos. It seems to me that QS needs to stagger the rotation so that one of RG/DF is on the court at all times, playing about half their time together and half apart. The same could probably said of our primary playmakers who both have the initials GH. The question isn't who will protect the rim in Gobert's time off the court but if Diaw/Lyles can give us enough at the 4. If we need an improvement it is at the backup 4 not 5 imo.
I can't wait to see Favors in the SM Diaw post-up role. Diaw is getting so many mis-matches but can't drive as efficiently as Favors. He's leaving a lot of points on the floor in favor of passing out and hoping for a cutter. Don't get me wrong, I love this set, but there are often times when Diaw should be scoring layups but is not. Favors can fix that.
