    won't be for the 3rd pick, but maybe bridges and a future pick?

    Doesn’t matter at this point. Trade him and everyone for any draft pick. It’s time to clear out salary and start back from scratch.

    This isn’t anything new. Old report we’ve seen already

    Zach lowe and windhost reported last night that after talking to many team executives from owner to scouts, they found the interest and trade value of Westbrook to be non existent at the moment.

    If Stone could pull the 3rd pick plus expirings, I'd be ready to forget about Morey.

    They're not giving up the third pick and we shouldn't expect them to. Russ' contract is one of the top-3 worst in the league.

    Getting away from that salary before the deal ends is our prize.

    What did the good city of Charlotte ever do to deserve this?

    Maybe Westbrook and the just-acquired Portland pick for Batum, Other Crap, #3?

    Wait, this isn't Pornhub.....? Oh, wrong tab.

    yeah I was just listing the assets we'd be getting. not the junk lol.

    I think the hornets and Knicks probably want to wait to see what happens at the draft. if ball falls to 3 would they still want Westbrook? if Hayes or Halliburton fall to the Knicks?

    we might be left with a Westbrook lead team.

    You're going to be really disappointed when it's a second, Batum, and a protected first next year.

    if James forces his way out and there's a trade there the rockets can stomach, the rockets will do it. and if there's no market for rus, would you attach assets to move him just because we traded harden? I wouldn't. keep him for a Chris Paul year where he can raise his trade value.

    Russ for #3, we'll take on Batum's terrible contract to help get salaries even and whatever filler they can offer. I don't see why they wouldn't consider it.

    as of now, no they won't because they're asking for a ton for him as they should be. Hes by far the most the rockets are going to get in this rebuild. westbrick will be the first to go before harden
