    I think it would but I don’t see us getting either player. I don’t see Iggy believing in us enough to sign and I could see RoCo ending up elsewhere. Honestly, the most likely scenario involves us failing to get any of the three previously mentioned players.

    The player who caught the lob in this clip no longer exists.

    The funniest part of this video is you actually able to find a clip with 2 hall of famers played with Harden and both are fading to the sunset of their careers, it’s so laughable about using this clip to show off ‘CP3’s athleticism’ as similar to saying Dwight was such a bad defender in his days playing for the Magics who got blown by and dunked by such a tiny PG.

    Three point guards, a center, and whatever Tucker is. Might be odd but that is a lot of talent on the floor.

    Regardless of if we go for him or not , I'd rather the media( and our front office) stop throwing our guys names around in trades .

    It's just distasteful imo

    Lakers have no young talent other than Kuzma anymore and he’s not enough to pick up CP3.

    Problem with dealing CP3 for Westbrook is that OKC doesn’t want CP3 and any 3rd or 4th team that could help facilitate a trade by taking CP3, would probably rather have Westbrook instead.

    Which basically means having to trade Capela and Gordon to get Westbrook...which makes no sense. Maybe, if you could pull Jarrett Allen away from the Nets or a decent center somewhere else, you could think about it, but I’m not sure I’d rather have Westbrook over Capela and Gordon.

    Well for sure we have the ability to go get Iggy or roco if we’re willing to part with multiple picks. Whether DM will do it or hold onto the picks for another move is the question. It’s not really about whether they want to play here or not. They aren’t free agents. It’s the asking price for those players. With WB you have to give up players. With Iggy or RoCo, you have to part with only Shump and picks.

    34 yo Chris Paul for 30 yo Westbrook


    I guess it makes sense on that basis.
