Sources: Dont count out CLE and Kevin Love for a Westbrook trade

Nick Wright has some weird takes.

Portland wouldn't want Westbrook, as pairing him and Dame makes no sense. If an offensive talent as good as McCollum doesn't work alongside Dame, Westbrook definitely wouldn't. It'd be like Harden-Westbrook all over again.

Cleveland, I've already outlined. Logjam of guards and Westbrook doesn't move the needle.

Indy front office would be high on something if they trade away two of their top 3 players.

Westbrook wouldn't move the needle for Sacramento either, and I'm sure we could get more for Westbrook than just Hield and a pick.

 

I’m counting this trade out!

 

Ahhhhhh a man of culture widepeepoHappy

 

The Love rumors will never end it seems.

As long as it has as much substance as Trump's election lawsuits I'm good.

Love is F'ing done and I dont want him anywhere near the Rockets.

 

He's been done for 4 years .... Can't believe people still wanting his corpose.

 

He's still better for the Rockets than Westbrook.

 

Two of their top 3? From Indiana's talent I rank them:

1. Sabonis
2. Oladipo (even with his injuries)
3. Turner
4. Brogdon
5. Warren
6. Lamb

 

stfu Morey, u aint getting him to Phila welcome back tho, nice to see you posting again.

 

LOL @ Russ to Portland. Its Dame time over there.

 

Portland — McCollum & Collins
Cleveland — Love & Osman
Sacramento — Hield + 1st
Indiana — Brogdon & Turner

These would be the only trade offers that I would see a fit in.... McCollum next to Harden would be ideal but Brogdon and Turner's defense would, as you said, be a no brainer.

To add:

I would only trade for K-Love if it meant netting Darius Garland and Kevin Porter Jr.... that's the only way I would even consider adding Kevin Love to the roster. I mean you've got to expect, at the very least, an absence of 20 games. At minimum.

 

He's still a walking double double and has a game that perfectly compliments Harden's style of play.

Just because Cleveland became irrelevant when LeBron left, doesn't mean Kevin Love suddenly turned into a scrub. Also doesn't help that Cleveland can't seem to draft good players anymore.

 

I personally think Turner and Brogdon are above Oladipo due to the injuries. But that's just me.

 

I initially had the same thought, but have you looked at his numbers lately? The dude played 56 out of 65 games last season and averaged 18/10/3 on .450/.374/.854 shooting percentages. His advanced numbers are subpar, but honestly they're basically on par or better than Westbrook's in most categories, including scoring efficiency, where he's actually pretty elite.

I'm not saying this trade would make me super excited, but I do think Love is a much better fit next to James than Westbrook is, and the Rockets would finally have a stretch big who can rebound. If they want to replace Westbrook with a halfway decent No. 2 scorer, they could do a lot worse than Love.

 

I cant wait for the voter fraud to come to light.

If there's one case of voter fraud then there should be a recount by hand.

 

I don't see any of these teams entertaining those trades except maybe Sacramento (and Cleveland, but I object to that one). I'd take Hield and a first to get rid of the Westbrook headache

 

double

 

Hield and a first is a damn good deal. Not sure how we match salaries as I don't want a lot of flotsam.

 

You think Westbrook is worth more than Hield and a pick? I don't think Westbrook is worth close to that much. I think Sacramento would be crazy to do that and I would jump on it in a heartbeat as Houston.

 

Rebuild, we are not going to win **** with Harden as the main guy, nor Westbrook, let's get what we can while they are both in their prime....

Get some PICKS and rebuild this sucker.
