[Woj] [Shams] Rockets trade Westbrook for Wall

Are u kidding? People haven CP3 a ring for grabbing his hamstring and walking off the court and call the other guy a choker for playing.

 

Westbrook was terrible in the lakers series... But the rockets might not have even made it to the second round without Westbrooks contributions in game 7 of the first round. When thier number 1 player... errr... dropped a figurative number 1.

 

Fair but I was speaking mainly on his defense. He is one of the all time great defenders to ever play the game.

 

Huh???? Not sure what you said here.

 

Rockets win game 6 against OKC if Westbrook never plays...he was out there committing active sabotage

 

Maybe? Probably? All i remember from that game is CP3's huge balls lol. They blacked out everything else.

 

Russ is no longer a Rocket but man he cracks me up.

 

So Washington gets more for Westbrook than we did, just like OKC got more for Chris Paul than we got.

Maybe, just maybe, we should stop trading players at their lowest point...

 

Seriously man ... . . Someone needs to explain these things to me like a 4 yr old

Rocket River

 

Because guys here give Morey too much credit but he sucks except for the Harden trade. Have you seen what they were asking the Warriors for Simmons?

 

Morey had to do lots of little trades to build up to have enough to do that Harden trade. You're only focussing on the Harden trade.


Simmons is worth a lot, not saying he is worth what Morey wanted, but people underestimate the other things Simmons brings besides shooting

 

Kuzma isn't that great anyway. Also if we keep our picks, that Paul trade really becomes better looking

 

Yep, Russ was still injured and CP3 wasn't all the way back.(although some of us thought he was cached)

 

Even when we trade players at their peak (Harden) all we get is a bag of chips.

He has his flaws, but out here he was working with cost mandate, so it was't go get ring at all cost, it was best bang for buck with a limit. that matters in the nba

 

I prefer Kuzma, KCP, Harrell and a 1st round pick over John Wall

 

Stop. Westbrook wasn’t going to report and essentially forced a trade. It’s been well documented there was no market for him.

 

The Wizards also had to give up two second round picks. This really isn’t a ton a value the Lakers gave up. More than we got? Yeah, but it’s comparing six pennies to a nickel.

 

Wrong thread

 

they also got the 22nd pick for it

for us, it doesnt make sense bc russ is one of the best floor raisers, so he wouldn't have allowed us to get this no 2 pick

but yea, weve been sellnig low for paul and westbrook unfortunatley their values only got better after they left us
