Should we trade for Westbrook?

[glennathan]

Only team I can think of that could play in to with salary cap space is NYK

I wonder if it will be a three team deal as rumored a couple hours ago...

Okc just wants the picks regardless of what contract they had to take. Im sure theyd love to flip CP3 with more picks. Houston is gonna regret trading all those picks

Detroit can trade for him. CP3, Griffin, and Drummond

Is it really on him though? Has KD and PG both stated they just couldn't play with him any longer? I haven't watched much OKC ball, but from my limited perspective it seems like they just never could assemble a good enough supporting roster around whatever 2 stars they had, so maybe that's why these guys left for greener pastures? I tend to ignore/steer clear of NBA drama in all of it's forms so I don't actually know - maybe they do have beef with Russ.

No, they haven't. It could also be simpler than all that drama, its freaking Oklahoma!

players want to play with top players. Yes, its Oklahoma. that didnt stop PG from re-signing there. If 2 top players have left Russ, and there has always been talk about him ignoring teammates and shooting the rock whenever he wants, even when he isnt making them, Russ needs to take a long hard look at himself in the mirror.

That mirror will be at Hardens house, as he pushed to be reunited with Russ. So much for that theory.

and i will pull up a stool and some marshmellows for the fire that this will be. I cant see this working at all, there isnt enough ball to go around. at least Chris Paul can play off the ball. And my theory still holds. we'll see how long this goes before one of them is moved

I wouldn't have given up as much as Houston gave up.

Two firsts and two pick swaps is a pass for me.

I wouldn’t have either but the difference is I think they had to in order to get off of that Chris Paul contract. It’s one of the worst contracts in the NBA. Not sure exactly what the asking price for a team like us or Miami would have been but I doubt it would of had to include so many picks.

They actually acquired one of the two contracts in the league that was worse, so did they really do anything great financially?

I'd rather pay Westbrook over the next four years than Paul over the next three. Westbrook is three-and-a-half-years younger and has missed considerably fewer games in recent seasons.

I feel like it was a good gamble for HOU with their window closing. Westbrook also gives them arguably a better shot at winning it all than Paul does. That’s going to be a weirdly exciting team to watch if they can balance out the rest of the roster.

except Paul can shoot and was a better fit with Harden than Westbrook.

i think its going to be like bleach and vinegar = chlorine gas

I’d rather be paying the much younger less injury prone player in his prime. I know Russell has been on a slight decline but it’s nothing like Paul’s decline this season. I think his contract is much worse for those reasons.

Now, RW could tear an ACL or an Achilles next season and all that would change in an instant but atm id rather be paying Russell.
