Hopefully this opens Russ's eyes! He needs to wake up! He is not a desired player. 32 no shot and declining. Also has a contract so bad that James Dolan hasn't jumped on it! If Dolan says no to Westbrook, you know you have a terrible situation!
Detroit or New York I’d guess I’m confident we will get a deal done, but yeah...we aren’t going to be overwhelmed with an offer. New York. Charlotte. Detroit. Cleveland. we will likely be picking between a washed star (Love), cap space (Detroit and New York) or expirings.
His MVP season was highly contested and controversial in history, Harden had the same or better stats just not a triple double.
Stats just don't help him...plus, he's 32 with some knee problems, his game is all about athleticism and he's gonna get 45M per season in the next three years, that's almost half of the salary cap. Not shocking if his value isn't exactly great.
To James Harden On Russell Westbrook and Chris Paul Be Careful What You Wish For. You never know what you have, until it's gone. Being careless when your teammates are on the floor and you walk away or ignore doesn't show Leadership. Or your Teammates get into a Fight and you don't have his back. The Nut Punched Playoffs really exposed that Rockets Players don't really care about each other. Jeff Green got injured and on the floor, no Rockets Players cared about him. It is a bad Culture in that Locker Room. Mike Dantoni Not Calling Timeouts when a Player gets injured and on the floor, Shows Carelessness.
Win Shares MJ 88/89 : 19.8 LBJ 09/10 : 18.5 RW 19/20 : 4.2 Box score numbers are an ancient tool for evaluating a players value. Westbrook is empty calories.
Just trash reporters (or whatever that Duncan Smith dude is). At that point the Rockets could litereally trade Russ for free and it would be a better deal than paying to take back the trash of one of the most pathetic organizations in the last 20 years.
