Reviewing The Westbrook Trade

[WiggyRuss]

And Shaq is lucky he didn't play today

i know i know

it would just be fun to watch him do his little dance and then try and make a layup on charles oakley

 

[C0deRed]

Epic fail by the Lakers.

Arguably the best team in the league and reinforcements coming....sorry bro, I'm riding high this year. Yet another take of yours proven wrong

First order of business for the Warriors if they had Curry would be to trade for Oakley. Problem solved.

Meh, if we're not talking a Hot Tub Time Machine situation, he'd likely be fine because he would have learned how to play in that era. He may not be the 3 point shooter that he is today...but he has a lot of other skills. He'd might be a smoother AI type player.

Hilariously true.

 

[Retroram52]

The biggest problem for the Lakers to date is not necessarily the notion that Pelinka made some mistakes and traded too many assets for Westbrook which has not exactly worked-out as expected, but the fact that Jeannie Buss turned the Icon down twice when he offered his services as GM when the Lakers were looking for one to replace Mitch Kupchak.

He also refused to trade tht to get Lowry at the td last year

Pelinka did a lot of stupid stuff recently, Q. I just was citing one example.

13.8 ppg on 42/32 shooting, 8 ast, 4.6 reb for 3 years/$85M? Better than the Westbrook deal, but not a slam dunk either.

But you would’ve also had him for the playoffs last year

Once AD went down, it wouldn't have mattered IMO.

Looking at lowry stats is as silly as looking at cp3 stats. These guys are pass first pgs and their impact on winning goes pass the box score

Was he out for the entire playoffs?

I didn’t think that was the case

 

[msgkings322]

Yep, same with Draymond

Like Rubio. You look at his stats and it makes you sick but he was an extremely important player. Lowry is no CP3 but he still has a great impact.

Yep, stats can be very deceiving. Westbrook puts up some amazing stats, far better than CP3, which one do you want running your offense?

Yep. If you compare dragic numbers from the last 2 years to lowry you would think he was the better option but then you watch the Heat play and you see the drastic difference
