Why are people comparing this to what Lebron did?

This is a lot worse.

How are you comparing what Lebron did to Durant joining a team which was 1-win of 2-peating and being labelled the best team of all time?

There is no comparison.

GS have the last 3 MVP winners on the same team (Curry, Durant), Klay ( 2nd best shooter of all time), Draymond Green ( one of the most well rounded players in the league/ all time), Iggy ( Finals MVP, one of the best wing defenders of all time)

True, LeBron went to a 5-seed team that had no prospects coming into Free Agency and no previous MVP's, Durant just joined the highest win-total 1 seed of all-time coming off a title and two straight finals appearance with the 2x MVP

Plus the Cap situation wasn't as open like it was at GSW... Miami barely had enough space and had to sign corpses in Bibby, Arroyo and Ilgauskas to fill out the team

This Warriors squad is lucky because it got Klay, Dray and Curry in on great deals before the cap rose and allowed for someone like Durant to come in

And this is just on the financial side of things

Precisely. I just can't believe that people are trying to equate the situations when they were entirely different, not to mention that Durant was one win removed of being in the nba finals, and had supporting cast that compete with championships for years.
