Knicks Only Had Interest In Russell Westbrook If Rockets Attached Assets

Post #1 » by **RealGM Wiretap** » Thu Dec 3, 2020 7:27 pm

Russell Westbrook was an All-NBA selection in 19-20, but he received very little trade interest as he sought a trade from the Houston Rockets.

"There. Was. No. Market. For. Russell. Westbrook," said Zach Lowe on his podcast one day after the trade. "I kept saying this over and over again. The Clippers were not interested. The Knicks were not interested unless they were incentivized. I don't know where the Hornets noise came from. Maybe it was credible. All I can say is from the people I know there, I never heard they were interested. There was, to my knowledge, nothing."

Westbrook has $132 million remaining on his contract over three seasons and has fit issues.

You know it's time to hang it up when the Knicks don't even want you lol.

Though I find it funny that they had interest in a 35 year old Chris Paul. Like if they were one piece away from contending lol.

Chris Paul, even at 35, would of been a plus addition for a young Knicks squad. Look at what he did with OKC. He will do the same in PHX.

100% the right call by my Knicks. I'd rather be the worst team in the league like we may be that take on a toxic contract like that. Just run it back and keep your options open.

Smart move, Knicks.

But I love this for Washington.

The Knicks have nowhere near as much as talent as that Thunder team had. I don't know why people keep acting like Paul played with a bunch of bums on that team.
