honestly I don’t think harden rocks with brodie like that anymore. westbrook called him out last season and you saw how that worked out for cp3.

Aha. I just don't get the fit with Wall who can't shoot either. A lot of the times these front offices don't know what the f they're doing. This move is no different than the Westbrook move.. it accomplishes nothing. James needs to be surrounded with shooters.. 4 of them and if they're quick defenders even better.

They might be trading Harden soon after this. Which def means they're tanking. Welp there goes one of the teams I was hoping kept Dallas out of the playoffs. mannnnnnnnnnnnn

Beale and Westbrook together is nasty. Oh and I mean it in a good way.

It’s highway robbery for the wizards. Westbrook and Beal are going to an awesome backcourt. For just a protected 2023 first and they got rid of wall’s contract? They’re going to make playoff runs now

Houston will trade Harden at some point too. They really need to nail trade though.

Beal thought playing with John Wall was frustrating... wait until he gets a load of Westbrook..

This is the NBA, players get traded to the place they want to get traded to. Unless you’re Kristaps Porzinigs

the best way to screw harden and the nets would be for Houston to negotiate now, get a general plan.

then yank it.

then call them back right before the deadline

dont give them any time to gel.

They got a good team to maximize Russ too. Bertans, Beal, even Thomas Bryant chucks threes. So...are there any assets we can get from Houston to take on that Wall contract?

The going rate is a heavily protected 2023 first. You want it?

Well, they got to shed 40+ million 3 seasons from now, no?

It's weird. Same $ in contracts. I guess they feel Westbrook is still actually useful or will hold up over 3 better.

And for Houston, well, they were paying someone 40+ million, now it comes with a pick. Thought for sure they'd want a pick and some salary relief.
