The last thing we need to do is be giving up picks or bringing in big contracts. Don't mortgage the future to move up 3 slots in the ranking and still get bounced in the first round.

Or even one offseason away from competing.

This team is currently f***ed, people. Swap out Reggie and Drummond for Westbrook and Giannis and this team still wouldn’t win a championship because the rest of the team is mostly garbage.


Let's not be ridiculous. Griffin, Giannis, and Westbrook would be the best trio in basketball. You could fill the roster out with vet min contracts and still be the favorites for the championship.

Play by the rules, bro. If there was some way to get Westbrook AND the Freak you’re not improving the entire rest of the roster. That’s the point. For this team to contend now nearly the entire roster has to be improved.

Play by the rules, bro. I said swap out two players only. If there was actually some way to get Westbrook AND the Freak you’re not improving the entire rest of the roster. That’s the point. For this team to contend now nearly the entire roster has to be improved.

With Westbrook and the freak, there would be no need from offense from any other player. Hence, Blake, Brown, Kennard could be solid complimentary players while this team could be up there battlin with the Warriors if chemistry was right.

He tries to be like them on offense and gets completely out of his game and becomes a headcase the rest of the game, showing no real effort. Dude needs to toughen the f^ck up mentally and not let his matchup dictate his performance. Just go out there and do you 100 percent of the time.


He just finished his 7TH season, not his 2nd. He is what he is.

please don't mistake me for someone who is defending him. he for sure is who he is. I was just pointing out his deep flaws that expose his lack of skill and mental toughness.

Clearly the point is being missed here.
