Trade for Westbrook?

Blake for Dlo makes sense as a even swap in my opinion

I don't see how Blake fits into the Warriors system.

Durant and Draymond fit together. Why wouldn't Blake and Draymond? They played Durant at the 4 and Draymond at the 3 with a traditional center plenty, and dropped the center and moved Draymond to the 5 when they wanted to go small. They could do the same exact thing with Blake. If anything, he's a much better fit for their offense than Dlo and plays as much defense.

With similar contracts for the both of them, only Dlo being younger makes me think they shouldn't also throw in a pick if we were to swing that.

I think Blake for Dlo would be a coup for both teams.

Huh? You sure you watched the Warriors? Draymond started at the 4 and switched to the 5. For the majority of the games Draymond plays point-forward or point-center as a 4/5. But, I think we're basically saying the same thing. I just don't think Blake would be a good fit like Durrant. Durrant is a pure shooter at the 3 while Blake is a slashing/point-forward 4.

Play him at the 5. You seen how often the double teams have to come once he starts scoring on someone down low. Imagine having the splah Brothers to kick out too.

Would just be a nice talent upgrade for them too after everything they lost. Blakes motor is just insane too and would help a contender now that hes added the skills and 3 ball.

If Miami ends up getting our boy Westbrook, it would be nice if we could jump in and make it a 3-way deal...hopefully ditch Reggie and Galloway. Swoop in and grab a guy like Winslow, Meyers Leonard, Shroeder or Patterson.

Doesn't take draft picks into account but works...

Anybody who trades Warriors anything for Russell are morons. They S&T'd for him and had to overpay him to get him to go along with their scheme. So they then want to flip him for better fit and probably FRP's come December.

Russell Westbrook in exchange for cash considerations, 2 Detroit Lions tickets(upper level), & a gift card to Big Boy.
Who says no?

As far as I'm concerned, this is over. Detroit hasnt been mentioned as a destination by any credible source. Woj only stated Miami. I've seen tweets that Detroit isnt even engaged in talks. We're getting riled up over nothing.

Blake's not the scorer/shooter that Durant is (is anyone, outside of Harden and Curry maybe?) but Blake can definitely space the floor and showed that just fine in Pistons uniform. And Blake fits what they lost with Durant a heck of a lot better than Dlo does.

Where else is Golden State going to find a front court player on Blake's level for talent? It may not be the absolute perfect fit Durant was at times, but he can definitely coexist with Draymond.

The Atlantic mentioned Detroit as a possible destination.

The Ringer and Bill Simmons have at least included Detroit in speculation.

Nobody reported that Paul George was getting traded to the Clippers until it happened.

It's over when he gets traded. (Not sure I'm even rooting for it, but it's a legit conversation, IMO).

Lol.

Am I the only one who looks at the account and some of their tweets and connections to vet out a source?

I dont know why we have to give up any of our youth. Miami has next to nothing to offer outside of Winslow?

Westbrook and Roberson for Reggie, Galloway, Snell and Maker 1st and 2nd round pick makes the most sense?

Westbrook/Rose
Kennard/Thomas
Roberson/Brown/Svi
Blake/Morris/Skou
Dre/Vet minimum player

You bring over someone that westbrook has chemistry with and he's an 10M expiring. If Dre opts out, might give us enough wiggle room to go out and get a starting caliber SF, then resign Dre to something reasonable.

I'm over this. They're expecting a haul. He's not worth anything more than expirings with that deal, but his name will over inflate his value. I hope he gets traded to Miami asap so this can all stop. They'll have buyer's remorse if they're forced to include Herro.

Are you trying to imply sardine insider is a fishy source?
