Malachi is slashing 35/27/51. That's ... pretty ****ing bad. I can't see any team willing to give up anything and risk it for him.
Last season was better for him. I think he prefers temperate or even humid climates found in Texas and Florida.
This feels like a Bargnani excuse...

Can't imagine any other team trading for him. Wall is at least something different (and klutch!) because this just is never going to work. Rockets save money, Russ gets to divorce the Lakers

Do you think the hold up is the Lakers taking wall sight unseen or Russ taking that buyout? I think he's in a MUCH better position to give back money than Wall, who apparently does not want to give back any (understandable)babyjax13 wrote:K_chile22 wrote:Again I ask: How crazy is a Wall-Westbrook swap where Russ takes a big buyout?

I think the chance is bordering on zero, but it shouldn't be. Westbrook could get most of his money, then go wherever he wants. Heck, I'm sure the Clippers would love him on a minimum this year, and with their TPMLE after that.

Because of the Wolves' start and defensive ranking, Gupta said he would categorize them more as "buyers" at the deadline because there's an opportunity to secure a playoff spot and avoid the play-in tournament. But being a "buyer" doesn't mean shopping for a rental player who won't be in Minnesota beyond this season. Gupta said any deal the Wolves make will be geared toward improving now and over the next five years to maximize the "runway" Gupta said the Wolves have with center Karl-Anthony Towns and guards D'Angelo Russell and Anthony Edwards.
"We do see an opportunity to get up to maybe the five [seed], to work our way out of the play-in to just secure a playoff spot outright, which would be great," Gupta said. "Given that opportunity, I'd say we're more buyers. But generally I would say we're buyers over the long term
The Indiana Pacers got a win on the road over the Los Angeles Lakers, but may have lost their All-Star center in the process. Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said postgame that Domantas Sabonis "has an ankle sprain that's probably going to be significant."
Yeah fair enough. I just kinda assumed we were past that second point by now lolHartfordWhalers wrote:K_chile22 wrote:Do you think the hold up is the Lakers taking wall sight unseen or Russ taking that buyout?

Wall sight unseen.
And probably even more so the ‘oh I messed up’ factor. To do that deal is to basically admit how bad the first deal was and that’s a tough thing to do even if it should be done.
I don't think Westbrook would take a buyout in Houston. So then he would likely be sitting at home not playing.K_chile22 wrote:Yeah fair enough.

Well I don't think LA would do that and I don't think Houston would do it for free so in that case it's dead. Only has wheels if Russ wants to go somewhere else and get to play Russ ballDoItALL9 wrote:LA also might have to attach something. If Westbrook isn't taking a buyout and Houston plans to have him sit at home what benefit are they getting in this trade?
