Sooooo.... who trades for Westbrook now?

[buckalis]

OKC on a rebuilt and avoiding lux tax this season (as I've predicted long ago)... They've got their future PG on SG Alexander... who buys Westbrook now and what he gives in return?

No.

You are still wrong.

You said OKC would dump Paul George to get under the tax. That is not what happened at all. they wanted to keep both stars.

They traded George because he demanded a trade and they were able to leverage a huge return from LAC.

You predicted a salary dump. That did not happen.

Now, since they have dealt PG, dumping Russ actually does make some sense.

agree on Westbrook, just doubt it happens...

DON'T TEASE ME BRO!

I did this thread because I think that his contract is "non trade able"... Yet, many crazy things have happened in the NBA and Miami wouldn't surprise me on being suicidal...

Still... They better get an expiring bad contract through a 3 team deal and save Andebayo and the picks... I'm sure OKC will take it!

THATS WHAT YOU GET FOR LEAVING SEATTLE

Hopefully this sea change will wake HERO BALL GUY up.

FUCK your triple doubles.
FUCK everyone backing off rebounds so you can get yours.
FUCK your over-the-top theatrics whenever you do your job successfully.
FUCK your overall attitude.
FUCK your fashion show.

Take your talents to Miami.

I was thinking the same thing but how many picks does Miami have left?

The thing is the thunder already have 2 no 1s from Miami so making them better prob not smart.

I guess that says it all!

Show-mans belong to circus and real basketball players win titles!

Russ to Miami for Dragic/Waiters/Bam and remove the protections on the 2023 pick?

However, a Russ trade without getting a PG back might make more sense, as they already have SG-A and Schroder.

Whiteside + Dragic for Westbrook + 2 picks (returned) should do it... Still I think Miami should pass... Are they trying to become the "OKC of the East" or what?

How many layers of stupid are in this trade idea?

Unless you get Portland involved, that is impossible. But that’s the kind of trade you insist will happen, so no one’s surprised.

Jimmy Butler + Russell Westbrook in a wide open East with Durant out of commission. Omg omg omg.

Yeah... Giannis & Middleton are trembling from fear!

Lol at Middleton being the 2nd 'star'.

Bucks would laugh anyway even if they were "today's Bucks" by mid season... But given their financial situation, the Bucks will be better than the previous season soon...

I can see you filling the arena up to watch WBs "circus show" every night though... It will be quite an amusement for those visiting you as well...

Giannis signs with the Knicks next year and Westbrook forces a trade to them to form the last superteam logistacally possible.

Knicks give up draft picks until 2030 and agree to rename Madison Square Garden Garth Brooks Stadium...
