No one wants Westbrook and LAL have zero assets to add to make a trade palatable to whatever sucker team might take RW.

Enjoy.

We're f'd. And he's got a player option next year for nearly $50 million.

maybe to the wizards for Kuzma, Harrell and KCP?

Read on Twitter

Russ had arguably his great stretch of his career with Harden in Houston where he was averaging 30 plus and huge rebounding and assists numbers. The Rockets virtually had to trade Capela and go ultra small to unleash Russ. Since then it’s been downhill

Believe it or not, I might pass. I liked Harrell, but KCP is frustrating as hell and I was over the Kuzma experience two years ago.

Nuggets just cant retain players for some reason. If it isn't injuries its key guys like Jerami Grant walking.

Not sold on MPJ (too injured) or Gordon

Everyone saw this version of Westbrook in his final year in OKC (where he averaged a triple-double) - his mindset is a superstar but terrible BBIQ / shot-selection, and his skills fast deteriorating into those of a scrub.

Don't waste your time and energy stressing out about Westbrook . Just give up on this season (and maybe next season).

Lakers rebounding is just beyond bad + Westbrook who tries too many ridiculous passes… + being old . Oof

Wizards really were brilliant at getting out of the John Wall contract once it was clear it wasn't going to work. They swapped 3 more years of $40+ million for just one year of Russ at $40+mill, and now have washed their hands of the whole thing. Meanwhile Rockets and Lakers are a mess.

heat fans need to start a thread on this forum titled "apologies to raptor fans" for all the slander about kyle over the years. he's been awesome the entire time he was a raptor and now you're seeing it with your own eyes.

And nba.com is showing Westbrook’s 3 as part of the Lakers vs blazers game recap, on a player who was 1/13 tonight. Such a twisted league. They had to showcase one of their “superstars”.

If there ever was a slander about Lowry from Heat fans (witch I seriously doubt it), it was due to Lowry turning down the Heat in FA years ago. But as far as his PG skills, no way?
Maybe some Heat fans (one or two lol) were concerned with his age, but this was mostly non Heat fans pushing such concerns.
Heat fans understood Miami's weakness was the lack of a true PG. The one player Miami didn't want to give away the farm for was CP3, and it was mainly due to that monster contract at his age costing young players plus 1st round picks.

Pretty funny to see the haters not even being able to appreciate greatness and trying to spin this negatively... How sad is it?

Also Luka kinda has a history of hitting tough game winners, it's not like this was some fluke instance

Yeah, I wonder if this wasn't the second most difficult after the shot against the Blazers. Throwing the ball in 0.6 seconds with extra arc and a defender in your face is hard to beat.

And even if he didn't have the history, if all you can come up with is something negative after a shot like that, you have lost your capicity to appreciate basketball because of your bias. It's sad.

Game-winner vs the Grizzlies was tougher.

1.8 secs left, down by 2, splitting 2 defenders, stumbling forwards and somehow made the floater from 3...

Yeah both guys aren’t keeping opposing coaches up at night.

It’s Jokic and roleplayers lol. Nuggets aren’t doing crash hot on the trading/signing game atm. Jokic has even improved his defense ffs

This is more of one man show than the Harden Rockets.

The league is a better place with dumb GMs to take advantage off. The Lakers are exactly what many said they'd be with Westbrook.

They ain't winning nothing with that group.
