    I could see Cuban going for it.

    That contract is big, but Russ is still a top 20 player and draws crowds.

    If he's moved, I'm almost sure it'll be an East coast team...

    Miami
    NYC
    Detroit
    Charlotte

    ...Chicago, if Zach Lavine would be centerpiece. With the Bulls keeping most of the other young pieces.

    Miami fits Westbrook like a highlight glittery glove!!

    Butler has that same fit!!

    It’s inevitable in my eyes....Butler needs a costar and Brook is perfect.

    Neither will do it, but it's the best move for both teams.


    Atlanta would actually have a real superstar. They have alot young talent with great potential, but I'm not sure the playoffs are likely for another 2-3 seasons.

    Dallas propel back into playoff picture. Luka/WB are good counter to the other teams, like the

    If Cuban is smart, he goes for Steven Adams. I would keep WB the hell away from that young core.

    As weird as it sounds, New Jersey w/o KD and Toronto falling from the top 5. Philly and Boston as question marks.

    Westbrook/Jimmy B combo in the East could be a formidable team. Dragic is probably the piece that goes to OKC or Dallas (3 team trade).

    This whole Kawhi/PG thing has shown more than ever... reading anything but WOJ is basically just wasting time on fan fiction. If you enjoy fan fiction, go to town. But if you want to have any clue about what's happening, just wait for WOJ.

    Pathetic, when you think of all the prognosticating about Kawhi. "99% of what I'm hearing" --> get a hearing aid, b****.

    I read somewhere that they were planning to move RW the following season though. A year from now when more teams have cap space. Right now only the Mavs and Hawks have cap space.

    Yeah, and by that time he could get injured or declined...that would be dumb unless there's literally no one willing to take him.

    According to sources, since George, Westbrook and the Thunder suffered a disappointing first-round exit in the playoffs in April, Westbrook has been quietly grumbling about the team’s struggles and may want out. George, meanwhile, beat him to the punch. George asked his agent, Aaron Mintz, to tell Thunder general manager Sam Presti not only that was he requesting a trade but also that he wanted to join forces with Leonard, sources said.

    Lol I can see the meeting between Cuban and Westbrooks, “Luka is my non biological son and also the second coming of Jesus. You will be taking a back seat and in no way shape or form be the primary ball handler on this team”

    Absolutely.
    Everyone is writing their piece to get more clicks. More clicks, more ad money.
