    Not if James calls... when Harden calls they listen

    Westbrook for Beal, John wall, Kevin Love, Young.
    I think rockets want to save money and does not chase Morris is big mistakes.

    Harden for Draymond, GSW 2nd overall pick, Minny's first next year and 2 more future firsts. Y'all can have more swings to rebuild the team since all your draft picks are gone.

    Get top sf and pf can get champion especially the guard does not have good accuracy on 3 points

    KD|westbrooks , wall|beal and Harden|westbrooks proofed.

    Except Cp3|Harden and Curry|Thompson who has 3 points.

    Guard + Center or Guard + power forward are much h better.
    If we can use Gordon to get K love, go ahead

    Westbrook and Harden are here to stay. Not going anywhere next year. Start thinking about the bench and moving EG and House. That’s about all they can do at this point.

    Eric Gordon for Kelly Oubre,

    sign Bobby Portis.

    trade House for a late first because he let us down

    russ
    Harden
    Oubre
    RoCo / Tucker
    Portis

    build from there

    Hypothetically if we could trade Russ, what do you think we could get?

    best case scenario? Julius Randle , Kevin Knox , Mitch Robinson and Frank Ntilkina.


    No chance he’s traded. If he is, Harden is gone too.

    knicks are the only team that makes sense. Maybe Miami if they get swept. Russ is here to stay, I’m not a fan but I don’t think it’s impossible to build around him as the second option. We just need more depth and consistency out of 3-10.

    He is getting no attention and the market is going to be light. 6-10, 7 foot wingspan, decent three point shot and a tenacious player. He’s exactly who we need to be targeting, Christian Wood and Jerami Grant are fun pipe dreams but we won’t have the money or assets.

    I think it is, if people can screw over Giannis like that in the playoffs...than Russ is no different, he's way worse than I could have even imagined. Like I remember when BR came out with Khris Middleton ahead of Westbrook.....and I was like...LOL WHAT?....Now I'm like.....yea, yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

    We arent winning with him on this team, bottom line, Ive seen enough from him. He cant help James.

    Well let’s just hope Harden agrees with you or you’re wrong. That or he finds a magic genie who grants him a three point shot.

    If we decide to shop Russ there won’t be a lot of takers. You might be able to convince a team like Orlando to bite.

    Something like Russ for Gordon/Bamba/Ross works, and might catch their attention. They still get to keep Vucevic/Fultz/Isaac core, while adding a big named player they could have never landed via free agency.

    This nets us three rotation players. Two young athletic bigs that can hit corner 3’s and resurrect the Harden PnR with. Ross is a borderline elite shooter.

    The really depressing part of this line of thinking, though, is it means the best player we flipped CP3 for is Aaron fricken Gordon. Sad times.

    we're definitely gonna need to find a stupid team that just wants a "name" on their roster. luckily, there's quite a few of those teams in the nba. but i don't know if any of them are that stupid.

    i'd love to know which one of harden or cp3 is more to blame so i could blame them. if harden can't handle a little criticism without demanding the guy be traded, that's bad. if cp3 can't say "hey, i seem to piss off everyone everywhere i play and now i'm 34 and clinging to my prime on the best team i've ever been on, maybe just for once i should shut the hell up, especially while i'm gimping my way through the playoffs", that's also bad.

    what are the realistic options for westbrook?

    we can't really trade him for anything that isn't a horrible contract.
    does the stretch provision do anything? i assume we're too far over the cap to matter.
    if we cut him, tilman has to pay him, but if he agrees to only eat at landry's from now on, that might soften the blow.
