Getting C Woods for cheap, finding Jaesean Tate, getting KPJ for a bag of cheetos dust.

And I'm still not sure how they got more than a sack of nickles for 36 year old PJ Tucker.

Yea but he also basically traded Caris Levert and Jarrett Allen for Oladipo, who they got nothing for


Trading Westbrook for Wall hasn't looked so good either, but I guess they preferred a pick and tank season.


I disagree. Wall and Westbrook have both been up and down this year but after the way last season ended for the Rockets them being able to get rid of Westbrook at all was a win.
Most people thought it would take at least a couple of picks to get any team interested.
Not only they move him but they managed to get a 1st round pick too.

Yeah that was a headscratcher.

Westrbook isn't a perfect player, but this year he's better than Wall and healthier. I'd trust him more going forward.

But we can agree to disagree.
