Keep seeing people linking Westbrook to the Magic. I want no part of that. That contract is awful for his playstyle and his age. Even that aside, I don't want that sort of playstyle on my team and especially not for what we would likely have to give up.

Send him to the Heat or something

Miami.

That's my favorite Russ destination because I think it gives him the best shot at winning and also those sick Miami Vice jerseys would look great in a number 0.

Still just heartbroken though because Russ is a guy who has if nothing else displayed supreme loyalty and has just been burned for it so many times now. And it's also gonna give the idiot brigade more fuel to their idiot HURRRR NO ONE WANT PLAY W WESTBRIDCK fire.

Honestly getting traded is better for Westbrook's OKC legacy than staying with the team and slowing their rebuild. I think fans will start to turn on him if he stays and declines.

I definitely see him in Miami (a great fit) or NY (a disastrous fit but a very Knicks move).

With the current OKC situation that Magic deal looks even better for Fultz. That 1st round pick is very unlikely to convey which means the end result will be that the Magic gave up Simmons (who would have been waived) and 3x 2nd rounders to take a flyer on Fultz

Granted it's very possible that Fultz doesn't work out but even if he only becomes an 8th man or so, it's still a good deal

Considering Reggie was a league average point guard and will be making 1/10th of Russ' current contract, I'm perfectly fine letting his contract expire and move on.

Westbrick is on the trade block? Wow.


It makes sense. Even with PG gone they are in the luxury tax and do they really want to pay the repeater tax when they have no chance of contending now? Best case for them now is to blow it up because Westbrook won't be able to win it alone.

Yeah so we're off to another year of mediocrity. I have to wonder how long KAT is going to sit on a team that's going nowhere. Our main acquisitions have been backups for other teams, and I have lost faith in Wiggins entirely. He's just never going to pan out and offering him that contract was so foolish that it's doomed us for years because unloading it doesn't seem possible at this point. I feel like I've been more than patient with him, but he's just so soft. He never plays defense, he's such an abysmal rebounder and he's not a playmaker with the ball. He can shoot, sometimes. That's about all he can do.

There's just no hope in sight. As much of an ass as I think he is, I miss Jimmy Butler because it was the only time in like forever that there was any big thrill to waiting for this team to play again.

The Knicks are a tragedy. I know it's just summer league but they got like half their entire roster out there and lost to the Suns summer league team with exactly one second round draft pick, Okobo, and a bunch of scrubs. RJ Barrett went 3/15 FG, 1/5 3P, 1/4 FT, 8 TOs.

This is going to be a weird dynamic in that most fans hate Chris but his 2 seasons playing here and making those teams extremely watchable is one of the main reasons we have a basketball team.

If we have any sort of success (unlikely) there is a decent argument for retiring his jersey here

Is he just sick of taking responsibility for them not being quite good enough and decided it's time to blame Russ again. Maybe he saw that GSW are in tatters and decided to ruin the Rockets to keep it close.

On one hand, the rockets tried that and they had no luck
On the other hand, the thunder have a bevy of picks with which to entice someone to do so.

Either way, i think this was a pretty dumb move for houston, they shoudln't have had to give up this much to get westbrook, especially including paul in the deal.

Because they wanted a player of equal or better value back. They're desperate for a title and weren't going to dump Paul for nothing.

Now OKC is rebuilding so they don't give a fuck.

The only way this trade makes any sense to me from the Rockets perspective is CP3's age... other than that it feels like it's going to be a disaster. I can understand why they/Harden might feel what they had wasn't working but the West feels more open than it has in a while but I don't know about this! I'd like the Rockets teams of the past two years in this environment!
