I agree with you, but unfortunately I’m getting the feeling Westbrook is so devalued right now in the market even the Knicks will say No to this.
Then you have to hold on. I know it's hard to do if he wants out but you can't just dump him. We literally just got him and need to give it a little more time if no one will offer fair value. Think about how much more CP3 is worth today than he was last year when we traded him. I think the same will happen for Russ.
I 100% agree with you. This is what we MUST do to give us any hope moving forward. Unfortunately........ I 100% believe this won’t happen with current ownership/new management, and frankly it’s depressing.
They have to make Harden happy or he's gone. Tilman knows he's toast if Harden leaves. Stone is very smart. I think we will be pleased.
Sry guys.. I'm on my trade ish.. Got another one, my first 4 team.. Rockets Out: Westbrook, Tucker, House, Gordon Rockets In: George, Turner Clippers Out: George, Beverly Clippers In: Westbrook, Warren Pacers Out: Turner, Warren, Oladipo Pacers In: Love, Gordon, Beverly, 1st rd pick from Cavs Cavs Out: Kevin Love, 1st rd Cavs In: Oladipo, Tucker, House http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=y6nm367l
Magic are willing to trade AG to move up from 15 into the lottery. They want a long playmaking scorer like Haliburton, LaMelo, Killian or Obi. ORL: Julius Randle, Dennis Smith Jr. + swap their 15th for Knicks 8th NYK: Russ Westbrook, Danuel House HOU: Aaron Gordon, Bobby Portis, Mo Bamba, Frank Ntilikina + Knicks FRP (Mavs pick) Harden/Ntilikina(22) EGo/McLemore RoCo/Nwaba AG(25)/Tucker Portis(25)/Bamba(22) Win-Win for every team.
Man, this really sucks. Just think of how good of a situation this would be if it was MOREY who would be in charge of this trade.
It depends what they attach and whether it's to create a TPE solely or whether it's a three team deal. I trust Stone that's all I know. If he ****s this up then I overestimated him. I have Russ' value much higher than almost anyone on the internet but just a year ago he was traded for CP3, 2 FRP and 2 Swaps, which I was furious about then. I guess we'll see if my trust is warranted. I'm expecting Mitch to be on the Rockets if Russ is a Knick.
How do you guys feel about Hayward? If we trade Russ to the Knicks for no/low incoming salary and can make a run to Hayward, it would be pretty great to me.
If I’m Indiana I’m never picking up the phone again if you call. You’re trading three of their best 5 players who are all younger and taking back two players in their 30s with horrendous contracts.
