Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

He did broke their triple double franchise record, for being there for a year. He of course also had 50.9TS%, its was kind off Westbrook season 101.

With all the heat has been taking in LA I would assume he appreciated the DC fans and would do his best to get the wiz a W.

Wall had them literally 1 or 2 games from the ecf in 3 of 4 years but no one seems to remember that and thinks that him and Beal are career lottery players

Wish he just stayed in DC to be honest. He had it good here. He probably low key wishes he was still playing for DC too, or maybe not because there is no place like home.

Are the Wizards trying to woo Westbrick with that tribute video?

Keeping my fingers, toes and everything else in between crossed for a Westbrook-Beal swap in the summer. :P

I think Westbrook fit in well there and he'd be in a far better place professionally had the Lakers not acquired him.

So You be on the hook for 45 mil a year with a small guard that doesn’t play defense shooting 30% for 5 years and not 1?

Not surprising. Westbrook is well liked and well respected by his teammates and communities he involves himself with. People get too involved in the petty stuff to see that big picture.

That one year he did put on a hell of a show down the stretch. He went completely bonkers the last month or so and it was a fun and memorable finish.

I've never been a big fan of his game but I was calling for the Wall-Westbrook trade weeks before it happened and he did all I was hoping for and more during his year in DC. Serious heart and serious motor. He earned my respect.

The passing showcase he put on at the end of the season was uncanny. Haven't seen that kind of passing festive since Stockton days I guess. Almost every game 15+ assists.

At first I thought the OP was joking. Then I thought the Wizards were joking. But it looks real.

Wizards might be the most pathetic team in the league right now.
