    Wall for Westbrook is a gamble, let's hope it pays off. First, Wall is fully recovered and can stay healthy. Second, that he and James form the dynamic duo we last had with him and CP3. Third, Wall blends in with the team and renews James spirit and belief in the Rockets Way Ahead.

    The 1st round pick is a bonus, we'll see what the protections are.

    At least they got a pick.

    Hopefully Harden is ok.

    Curious to see pick protections and if we can get a young asset too.

    I feel like wall is worse and hurt all the time... We probably lost value again. At least we got the pick this time instead of sending one out.

    I'm more happy about not seeing idiots abbreviate his name as "WB" than seeing him shoot anymore

    :D

    Is Wall even healthy enough to play?

    After years of wondering what dumb ass team would actually trade for Wall, it finally happens, and that idiot team turns out to be the ROCKETS? Are you kidding me? Lulz on ME, man.

    If you told me a year ago we'd be trading Russ to the Wiz and gave me no added info, I would be ECSTATIC, assuming we were landing Beal.

    Not many players/contracts in the entire league THIS DECADE are worse than Wall IMO. Cancerous on AND off the court.

    ... and I don't even think Russ is good.

    What a year!

    This kinda **** is what keeps me using social media. It’s a beautifully strange tweet. I’m still laughing 5 minutes later.

    Im no fan of Russ' game but to give up on him after one season is dumb, IMO. Russ is an MVP level player, I really wanted to see what Silas could do with him. When everything was clicking, Russ and Harden were both scoring 1 million points.

    Rockets gambling everything on a lot of bum legs.

    Rockets gave up on CP3 too soon and now I think they are giving up on Russ too soon.
