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

And Wizards 1st Round Picks are nice...

 

Hasn't helped them one bit.

In a weaker East to boot.

 

I'll still take them.

 

Not if its attached to Wall.

And besides it was never confirmed that this was anything more than a 1 for 1 deal.

 

Depends how many.

Bro, you are getting your confirmations from BraBra, so don't talk to me about sourcing, hahaha.

 

Again, pick or picks is only speculation.

 

If he comes here, is Mexico going to pay for the Wall?

 

RICH coming from you.

 

Hey not gonna lie, I'll use whatever tools available to me to complete the job.

But no Rockets fan wants to get jobbed by a gimpy Wall.

 

i think Wall being often injured helps us in getting that other player or pick. Not sure who they have we could use immediately. But I wouldn’t do a even swap.

 

I honestly believe this will not be as sharp of a drop-off as some think. I had this same thought for a while, but these freak athlete types can honestly keep their bodies viable for longer now than they used to (as long as they don't sustain a major injury). A guy being physically capable of elite play until 35 is completely realistic these day.

On a short list of guys who were 1. Freak athletes (even by NBA standards) 2. Take very good care of their body. You see guys being able to play at a high level longer than they used to. LeBron is the prime example, we all know about CP3, Jeff Green is 34 and looks great, Dwight Howard 35 and still springy, Wade was still averaging 18ppg on 30mpg when he was 35. Russ just turned 32. He'll turn 34 during the final year of his contract, and I believe that's probably the last "prime" season we'll see from Russ(again, that's without injury).

I do believe Russ will be a great althlete throughout the rest of his current contract, but he will still be older than Wall.

 

Spoiler

 

We'll see. All those guys you mentioned have skills or size that Russ does not have, things like shooting, passing, smart decision making etc. That's how they stay effective even though they have lost a step.

 

"Hey, Wall for Blake..."
"JOHN Wall?!" (Click)

 

Pistons are going to require a pick or 2, just like the Rockets.

 

Say it aint so

 

He's a man of class and dignity so I'm inclined to believe him
