[Woj] [Shams] Rockets trade Westbrook for Wall

That's an exclamation mark on this trade.

 

Hated the trade initially as well. Wanted Wall routed to 3rd team for young players and more picks.

But it is what it is.

Wall is a Rocket now, I will root for him.

Either Stoner is a shitty GM or Wall/protected FRP is the best Westbrook was bringing back.

Could be both.

 

Heck yeah! That's what I'm talking about! A reasonable attitude! Klay Thompson injury prone. Steph Curry injury prone. Kristaps injury prone. Kawhi Leonard injury prone. Paul George injury prone. Blake Griffin injury prone. Hayward injury prone.

 

James Harden NOT injury prone.

 

On how many shots?

 

you realize walls main comparison is WB don't you? it doesn't seem like you do.

a worse player in a worse conference with less accolades that plays a very similar game to the one he was traded for is going to make us better.... LOL. clutchfans logic.

if we aren't blowing it up, all we are doing is running on a treadmill.

 

duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

Sure, that's why I never liked him as a player really.

Wall was a woefully inefficient player as the biggest fish in a mud puddle trying to do it all himself.

That said, Wall is a competent catch and shoot player, something Westbrook could never be. That means he is capable of playing off ball and as such is a MUCH better fit next to a guy like Harden than Westbrook could ever dream of.

If Wall is willing to play as a pass first point guard when he's handling the ball, and play off ball the rest of the time, he'll fit in perfectly.

Westbrook on the other hand will be fighting with Beal because foolishly Westbrook believes his own hype, that he's a top player in the league. It'll be kind of funny watching how much the Wizards give up to dump Westbrook in order to keep Beal.

 

I bet you forgot what Wall did to Schroeder during the playoffs in 2017. Wall 29.5 ppg and 10.3 assists. You're being a hater dude. Complete pictures are important. Just stating look what Dennis did is not enough. Gotta compare and guess what... Wall won. Won the series, won the stats. F off with that junk.

 

he had a better team he was supposed to win.

 

The venn diagram of people who thought that trading CP3 was brilliant and think this is a disaster is a perfect circle.

 

Interesting Clutch didn't also use WB's best two month stretch when he was cherry picking WB's injured playoffs....

 

You cry babies keep saying this... But yall have short memories......

Another cry baby who forgot about the Ty Lawson experience.... What happens if Wall is washed and is in fact worse than WB?

 

no @Clutch didn't forget

 

Those numbers are worse than I even imagined. And I imagined they were pretty bad.

 

You need more reasonable friends.

 

what happens when he is isn't? all you dummies that are always wrong are still going to be b****ing. yup. people like you are complaining about what? losing westbrick who doesn't want to be here. you're talking about crybabies and you're the one crying over a guy who was a disaster and now doesn't want to be here. Utterly stupid at this point.

 

Good. I would have been disappointed if he picked only the playoffs.

So we have another ball dominant guard coming here who will have to not only get used to playing NBA basketball after two years.... but get used to playing on a new team.

 

So true. Continuing to see the same ones all crying and b****ing keeps making me feel so much better about this move

 

BUT you are the ONE making absolute statements when there is so much unknown. I literally just posted an example of a player we got and was worse than WB.....
