It's pure comedy... Westbrook plays, Wall doesn't and even when he did (post injury) Westbrook was better...
As much as I want Westbrook gone, I would have lost it if we had traded him and a pick for John Wall... Even a pick swap would have pissed me off...
So silver-lining found...
I would've been fine with an SRP at the most
From houston...
Nah from Lakers, Lakers didn't even use an SRP on Reaves, he just agreed to stay out of the interest of other teams so Lakers could pick him up undrafted. I'm cool with that approach.
Kicking the tyres on Wall would have been just doing something to change the situation. And I would have done it for the ego difference of putting Wall on the bench, at this point he just wants to play. Russ hasn't got to that Melo moment yet where he realises it's a privilege to play and not a right.
