I could probably find some dude off the streets worth more than WB. Give him 100 shots if 10 goes in he's worth more.

The real gem would be to get Eric Gordon. He’s a chip piece with his postseason play on both ends. I also think Wall being completed rested so far will be a better player than Westbrook. At minimum he’s a better shooter and defender which is what they need.

As a Wizards fan, I'd love if Russ came back (I'm serious).

This works in the trade machine:

Wiz trade Dinwiddie+Bertans+Holliday for Westbrook
LAL trade Westbrook+THT+2027 1st for Wall+Bertans
Rockets trade Wall for Dinwiddie+THT+Holliday+LAL 2027 1st

imagine trading decent role players and a 1st for Russ, and then turning around and using a 1st to trade Russ for John freakin Wall.

LMFAO. Somebody needs to get fired for that

Moving Westbrook only removes the boulder blocking a giant pile of trash.

No need to give away assets that won’t come to fruition for another half a decade.

That roster was a mess from day one. And many of us saw it coming. How someone who gets paid millions per year to do the job couldn’t see it, is beyond me.

So ironic..

Russell has done more damage to his value than sitting could have ever done.

Lakers have no choice. Rockets will get a 1st from the Lakers and likely next year, maybe the Clippers panic and offer a 1st rd pick for an expiring Westbrook. They cna get two 1st rd picks for John Wall

It’s not about value it’s about fit and realizing what isn’t working. Who cares about value when you have LBJ and half a season left to make a run. I would trade WB and Nun for Wall and Gordon. AD comes back and suddenly you have a balanced team again.

The disrespect to the great Westbrook is sad, he's 10 x the player Wall is

So you expect them to throw in Eric Gordon, whom is shooting 50% from the field and over 40% from 3, on top of taking on Russell Westbrook? Yikes. Ask them for a pick too while you're at it no?

Westbrook has always been better than Wall. Wall has the worst contract in the league. Lakers won't do that trade.

Westbrook is significantly better.

Pablo Escobar · Post #77 » by **Pablo Escobar** » Sat Jan 22, 2022 3:37 am

Wall is a better shooter, defender and passer. He isn't a good fit for the Lakers either but Westbrick is so trash they have to do something.

Tottery · Post #78 » by **Tottery** » Sat Jan 22, 2022 4:24 am

I feel like the Lakers could move Wall better than WB, so maybe I'd take this trade.

Jalen Rose & Antonio Davis

CHICAGO -- A six-player trade that sends Chicago Bulls forward Jalen Rose to the Toronto Raptors for Antonio Davis was finalized Monday, two days after it was announced.

Besides Rose, the Bulls are sending forwards Donyell Marshall
and Lonny Baxter to the Raptors. In return, Chicago gets Davis and
forwards Jerome Williams and Chris Jefferies.

TORONTO -- The Toronto Raptors finally traded Jalen Rose on
Friday, sending him to the New York Knicks for forward Antonio
Davis.

The Knicks also received a first-round draft pick and an undisclosed amount of cash from the Raptors in a deal involving dismal teams who played each other Friday night in Toronto.

I don’t get why Houston aren’t jumping all over this even with a couple of seconds from the Lakers. Wall has already indicated he is not open to a buyout. Westbrook still wants to play so he will definitely take a $15M discount to be released so money is saved.

Clips get Westbrook for the minimum and he is right back on the court.
