CLE receives: Chris Paul
HOU receives: Westbrook
OKC receives: Tristian Thompson, JR Smith
If Cleveland thinks they can win with CP3 and Love, they might do it.
Win what?
A few extra games?

The Rockets are at a dead end with Chris Paul, but Oklahoma is willing to give his rivals a blood transfusion. Miami should not involve Justise Winslow or any of our young players in this transaction, the Heat will regret it.

I said *IF* Cleveland thinks they can win with CP3 and Love
They *MIGHT* do it
We all could read your post. We just don't think anyone would seriously believe it.

Be my guest.

it's for the best. It's exciting but if negotiations stalemate at 2 of the 3 core young guys you might as well go all in for Beal who is a better fit, younger and wants to be here. I believe the Heat and Thunder are very far apart and a team like Hou will be more desperate along with Westbrook being open to joining them. My biggest takeaway is that this new level of self control on display from Riley shows a transitional shift in the FO and how they value assets. Where we once would have sold the farm for Westbrook it now looks like we will pass in favor of potential + flexibility. It's refreshing.
unless our young players become allstar does this even make any sense?. They need to get paid soon, Bam will get the max seeing how other bigs are being paid.

Why be so rude?
People tried to point out to you politely that Cleveland would NEVER think it was a good idea, in fact no-one in their reasonable mind would.

Unless our young players do actually become all stars and Brodie gets injured, does this even make sense? They will get paid soon what they deserve while we pay immensely for a player who is injured.
“Unless” and “what if’s” are how you make mistakes. This is a time where you call the bluff, hold your cards, and fold if they raise.

If he's not dealt to OKC in this Westbrook deal he's ours for the entire year. Same goes for OKC. No assets getting pulled for a 33-34 year old PG on an expiring deal. Probably more valuable to us right now tbh as a continued bridge to the Point Winslow transition and Nunn.

Im honeslty more worried about Butler getting hurt, he has MILES on him. Remember every offseason player get over paid, so no they wont get what they deserve, they will get what the market dictates. Thats something to factor.
