    We could start Tucker at the 5 and run all pgs around him starting and coming off the bench. We might not rebound much but just think of how much dribbling we’d do!

    Probably only teams that might be interested would be Miami, Lakers and Mavs, 1st round picks may or may not be required.

    Lakers can't trade for any large salary till after dec 15.

    Miami might be interested since they have Butler are also capped out, but have several larger contracts to match.

    Mavs have cap space, hardaways contract to match and might be interested to get a big name and for porz/luka

    Even better in a couple of years, when it's just over $132,000,000.

    Sounds like you just want to 'run it back'.

    You're not adding an all-star for the sake of just adding a star. Lol

    You have to fight fire with fire - talent for talent or you're not winning a title.

    We need to add talent and make it work- it's our best chance.

    Have you been in a coma through the talent-packed warriors run?

    Did Toronto not win a title after adding Hawaii ??

    Cleveland finally won when they got some guy named LBJ back on the team

    San Antonio wasn't starving for talent nor Miami before that.

    Lol. Houston has a decently rich team in a not-terrible city and has Janes Harden.

    They can fetch far better than a GM who truly believed, in his balls, Carmelo Anthony and Joe Johnson were gonna contribute against GS in the playoffs.


    Now he’s forgoing a ton of good mid-tier moves to break a damn good team up for bad fit quasi-stars. One of which(WB) was really barely all-star caliber.

    And I don’t even hope the Lakers win. I just hope Paul ends up there if Morey breaks this team up. People will actually realize his value then.

    Sick of the complaining about the contract of a guy who is clearly their second best player and is actually worth the money.

    no way this happens without CP3, but no way CP3 is willing to move to OKC to rebuild.

    Two playmakers that rundown the shot clock in the same team does not seem to be an idle chemistry. But if Westbrook is willing to be the defensive guy rather than the offensive then bring it on! He can be one hell of a defensive guard which Rockets sorely needs. But I doubt that he will accept role change though.

    You've just described every team in the association so just shut it.

    If there’s even a glimmer of truth to this I’m curious if Morey wants him WITH CP3 and Harden... or shipping out CP3 to PAIR Westbrook with Harden....

    The suspense is terrible... I hope it’ll last.
