[ESPN / MacMahon] Sources say Rockets do have interest in a Russell Westbrook deal

In the end reality is we're just not in a good position to make a relevant upgrade, talking in general, a good upgrade it's likely to come with a risky move so, either by taking a player like Wesbrook, or by overpaying for a guy like Covington (who's likely already a Warrior), Randle or whatever, we just have zero chance to land a star in his prime at this point.

 

Ready for this pic to be spammed every gamethread where Westbrook chucks up a contested 3 in crunch time for us.

 

**** it why not.
whats the worst that can happen...

 

Can't move Chris so don't see a deal happening. Long shot is an understatement.

 

Chris is such a more valuable player today and especially at the end of the contract.

It's incredible how smart CP is and how little we allow him to use his BBIQ. Instead he just sits and watches Harden dribble.

 

Agreed. It may not make us much better but it would be extremely entertaining.

 

CP3 > WB

Also Gallo should be the guy we pursue. Would be outstanding in this system.

 

Tilman is determined to change the game forever with a 3-PG lineup!

 

They ONLY won BEFORE when they were put in a TALENT-RICH situation. NONE of them won on their own like we are essentially asking harden to do for us. No bigger/better example is the failure of LBJ-Cleveland 1.0, taking his talents to south beach forming a super (talent-rich) team.

 

Don’t you guys remember, the goal is to get as many USA players on our team

 

He'd be outstanding in the 10-15 games he plays a season.

 

Just the thought of adding Westbrook makes me feel dirty.

 

The Clippers would be natural rivals, due to Bev v. Westbrook, CP and Austin Rivers, which would be fun (although we would 99% be on the losing end of that rivalry).

 

Because Kevin Love isn't nearly good as you think?

 

Its very early but it sounds like the Rockets would like to add WB without giving up CP3. They ready to risk it all.

 

Gorden Capella + picks in 3 team deal for Westbrook + Noel

 

Especially after we passed the last three seasons talking **** about him...

Spoiler

Reminds me of the Rivers situation lol

 

Don't forget Jason Terry and to a certain extent, Barkley.

My dad for years called him (loosely translated) "loudmouth ******" and then when we traded for him, he was like "..."

 

@cyberx : KEVIN LOVE ADDED TO LIST.

Morey :


Tilman: Get me Russel.

Morey:

 

Nah, the rest of the guys aren’t going to block out for him.
