    It's time for Joker to move to Houston.

    All the PHX picks + whatever of our picks we can trade + Jalen and Jabari and Adams

    Geter done Stoner!

    PG - VanVleet.
    SG - Brooks
    SF - Thompson
    PF - Sengun
    ..C - Jokic

    Championship here we come!

    It looks like Westbrook is actually working out and thriving in Denver.

    I give all the credit to Jokic. GOAT status making Russ useful.

    Yep, even LeBron couldn't do it. Russ is the living proof that Jokic > LeBron.

    it's funny because since Houston, people have begged for a Russ that sets screens and cuts, and now it actually exists and he's really good at it with Jokic at the wheel.

    Lebron is 40 lol.

    although tbh Jokic would prob also have the longevity of Lebron if he cared enough to play Bball that long.

    Jokic is probably the perfect pairing for Russ. Probably would be a great pairing for lots of players, but for a player like Russ who needs space to drive and cut, having a center like Jokic who can create that space by being a 47% three point shooter and then an excellent passer must feel like heaven for Russ.

    The biggest thing is Jokic believes in him and didnt throw him under the bus at the beginning when WB was still acclimating.

    If you look at his Lakers experience Lebron basically antagonized everyone regarding WB ("keep hating, we will prove you wrong etc" on twitter) and then left him to fend for himself once the criticism started coming in.

    WB is emotional and a hype guy you need to rep and boost him up so he will play with max effort and be unselfish and all that. If you try to reason with him lole Harden did or freeze him out like Lebron then he will just shut down and play bad.

    Nikola is intelligent to know that and demand to sign Russ from the Front Office.
