Wouldn't Wiggins be ideal now? Basically Wiggins, lux savings, and two picks for Russ

the pick swap in 2021 is useless...Houston will be contending while we will be rebuilding. Don't get this. Would have prefered a 2nd round pick

chris paul is irrelevant. if our focus was fielding a competitive team we wouldn't have traded jerami grant. this was a fine trade that also probably got us in nice with thad foucher which could be useful down the road with sga.

I’m more than fine with this trade but keeping Paul makes no sense. At all.

Also, there's no incentive to be the worst team in the league anymore. It's not like we're going to accidentally sneak into the playoffs, so go ahead and field a competitive team.

Also, Russ in a rockets jeresy looks wrong. The heat jerseys are just so good it didn't matter.

That’s fine as long as CP isn’t on the team. CP the player isn’t really the problem, CP the person is the problem.

I thought we could get a little bit more but the fact that CP3 contract has one year less changes a lot

If presti, trying to escape the tax, went Russ --> Paul --> Wall while adding picks that would be hilarious.

Does CP want to coach... as a head coach.... in 3-5 years? Would Presti want that?

I mean, he's a hyper competitive dick, who cares?

Glad they sent him where he wanted to be, regardless of how little sense it makes.

I just wanted that Russ Miami Vice jersey though.

I was thinking the same thing. It reminds me of the episode of The Office when Dwight went to a swap meet, started with a tack and traded his way up to a telescope.

Unless the Wizards add a lot of value I am not interested in Wall.

As questionnable as Paul is, he is still somewhat playable and tradeable, Wall's contract runs one more year and he might not be a NBA caliber player in the future.
