[Shams Bomb] Rockets and Wizards discussed a Westbrook/Wall deal

Let's make 2020 even more interesting. Let's just swap Wall with Westbrook.

If not, I am so down if we can somehow swap Griffin and Westbrook.

I think Harden and Griffin would be great. Griffin has a lot to prove still and with Harden, he will have someone who will elevate his game even higher.

If Harden leaves, obviously this is all just melted butter... but yea.

 

Knicks trade is still the better trade now that Hornets are out.

 

I believe Harden and Russ will be here next season.

if we trade anyone first it will be Russ but the org wants to keep them both. Or at least see how they play and wait till the trade deadline. If things work out we will be good. If it doesn’t we can move Russ. And possibly Harden next year when FA starts.

 

This is the trap we can't fall into. For sure it'll be good for a while in the regular season. That's what Russ does he beats up on bad teams playing at 70% effort. Once the playoffs comes along he implodes. Raise his value then trade him at the deadline no matter what.

 

Wall is a big freaking no no, personal issues, injury issues. That's a lot worse than Westbrook who's still Harden's buddy.

 

Westbrook/Gordon

for

Wall/Rui

Opens up our 4/40 MLE.

 

but them dance moves doe

 

If we’re trying to keep Harden, I can’t see the Wall trade happening at all.

Ego has to be the one to go first then Russ and James will follow suit.

Also, for the life of me, I can’t find a fair trade that nets us a decent player for Ego.

Maybe TJ Warren for Ego and a pick then that opens up our MLE if I’m not mistaken.

 

I dont think Russ or James is going anywhere until the trad deadline. the season begins in a month. On top of that I think the Rockets will have a squad this year and winning changes peoples minds. Look at The Bulls in the 90's. They hatted their Management worse than our players obviously hate Fertita but they beat people down and stayed together and endured some real problems. Our guys can hoop

 

been saying this for the longest time.

 

A team thinking of rebuilding does NOT take on Wall's contract.

 

you're either stuck with westbrick's contract or wall's. I'd much rather have wall

 

Pass.

There will be better deals when time comes.

Patience is a virtue.

 

i disagree. westbrick's value continues to get worse over time but people can hang onto hope if they want to. The longer the rockets wait, the worse the return package is going to be to me

 

I get it.

You disagree. A lot.

 

Is this what it's come to? Y'all are okay with having Wall or BG over Russ? Yuck.

 

for better or worse. this is a classic pick your poison. either way

 

You have to get it done for their friendship. One more season with Harden and they'll be mortal enemies.

 

unfortunately yes. but BG is a 100% no to me. dude is a has been.

 

Damn, the Dougie is like 10 or 11 years old. Or at least grew in popularity then... Reminds you how long Wall has been in the league. Does this guy have the same sort of injuries that Derrick Rose had, where it would be seen as a miracle for him to even be half as good as he once was?
