Sooooo.... who trades for Westbrook now?

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Butler + Westbrook <<<<<<<< Sixers and Bucks, and << Celtics

Sixers lost their best playoff player.

Sixers lost their best playoff player.

And brought in other players and still have tons of talent. More than the Heat

As of today, on paper, of course.
If Heat makes another move, we’ll see.

Plus, Im curious to see how Philly looks with Embiid/Horford on court together.

I read Philly plans to give Embiid much more regular season rest.

THATS WHAT YOU GET FOR LEAVING SEATTLE

You could say the same thing about Durant.

Huh? He got two rings and two Finals MVPs for leaving

That's true, but the choice to leave Seattle was not his. What did Durent win in OKC?

Seattle?

Yes Durent was drafted by the Seattle Sonic.

Weak ass bench also.

Why would anyone want a 30 year old PG for 40 million a year who has never won anything ? I know why OKC wants to get rid of him. I guess maybe the Knicks may be desperate enough but what the hell are you getting for RW?? I'm not even giving one 1st rounder

 

[The Oldtimer]

His only MVP

Okay.

Probably the Pistons (sigh). Send Blake home for RE straight up. Reggie loved playing behind Russ, what could go wrong?

I could totally see the Pistons convincing themselves that Westbrook/Griffin/Drummond could make them contenders in the East. And they might not be wrong in the short term. Philly and Mil are up top, but past that would it shock anyone if that trio topped the other teams next season?

It's not terrible for OKC's side either. They shed Westbrook's salary. Get Doumbouya, who is an intriguing prospect and I'd say throw in a couple more lightly protected draft picks.

I'm not saying this is something I would do. Just saying I could see Detroit thinking about doing something like this

(FWIW, this can't happen until August. Recent draftees can't be traded for 30 days)

My best scenario:

Westbrook and Patrick Patterson to Orlando for Aaron Gordon, Mo Bamba, Markelle Fultz, and a future pick.

Yikes lol. Orlando has to do better than that.

You hope.

Rumors saying Presti offered PG/RW package.

PG got wind and said deal me now.

So...he may be right to some degree.

Maybe to a very slight degree.

But he said George would be traded to the Bucks for

Hill, Snell and Ilyasova

That was his trade idea

That does sound like an Orlando type trade.

That said, I don’t think Westbrook’s contract is worth all that. 2 prospects and a pick is a lot to give for a contract that is not great at best.

I really want them to hold on to Doumbouya with his potential though. And, of course, you can't trade Snell </s>. But, I agree, I could see the Pistons doing this to be competitive now.
