That's nice with the picks and all, but If they can just send me Rubio and Oubre I will be sublimely happy. Ricky Rubio James Harden Kelly Oubre Robert Covington FA MLE --------- Eric Gordon PJ Tucker David Nwaba
Oh wow, Oladipo and Westbrook united again. Victor did say Westbrook taught him how to be the best he could be.... but I don’t think it ended well. But crazier things have happened.
What’s most important to me now is that we get some guys that play with high energy on both ends and can either shoot at a high clip or consistently create for themselves.
High energy lengthy athletic players around Harden. These are the type of players that Weaver needs for his defense - switch and drop coverage. Option#1 https://tradenba.com/trade-machine NYK: Russ Westbrook, Danuel House PHI: Jrue Holiday, RJ Barrett, JJ Reddick IND: Dennis Smith, Eric Gordon + Knicks FRP NOP: Bobby Portis, Josh Richardson, Elfrid Payton + Knicks FRP HOU: Ben Simmons, Myles Turner, Matisse Thybulle, Frank Ntilikina 6'5 Harden/6'4 Ntilikina 6'5 Thybulle/6'3 McLemore 6'7 RoCo/6'5 Nwaba 6'10 Simmons/6'5 PJ 6'11 Turner/MLE (6'10 Harry Giles) Option#2 https://tradenba.com/trade-machine CLE: Russ Westbrook, Danuel House PHX: Collin Sexton, Al-Farouq Aminu, James Ennis ORL: Kelly Oubre, Larry Nance, Eric Gordon, Frank Kaminsky + Cavs FRP HOU: Aaron Gordon, Andre Drummond, Jonathan Isaac, Mo Bamba + Cavs SRP 6'5 Harden/6'3 McLemore 6'5 Nwaba/MLE (6'8 Josh Jackson) 6'7 RoCo/6'5 PJ 6'8 AG/6'11 Isaac *injured* 6'10 Drummond/7'0 Bamba
Russ to Knicks Portis,House, NYK (via DAL) 2021 1st to Cavs Love to Rockets Creates ~11 mil Trade Exception Use it to “Sign & Trade” for Ibaka for 2 yr/20 million Trade EG and 2nd to Milwaukee for Bledsoe Bledsoe Harden/Mclemore Covington Love/Tucker Ibaka Still have 6-7 million to add a couple rotation pieces. Tucker Is 35 he shouldn't have an issue coming off the bench for a portion of the year. Highly unlikely Ibaka and Love would play 72 games.

Perhaps the Clippers want all this. Stone should slam the phone down without saying a word to them. There wasn't much difference between PG and House during the playoffs, before the latter goofed up. @ApacheWarrior @Deckard @D-rock @Nook
I don’t put much stock in it. I believe the rumor PG-13 is actively recruiting Westbrook to Clips I believe the posting that I saw on instagram or Twitter: PG-13 is begging “Mr money-bags” Steve Ballmer to bring them Westbrook Ballmer is resisting.......doesn’t care for the idea & Kawhi doesn’t care.......sounds like Kawhi (silent leader) __________________________________________________________ Going into the playoffs the scuttle bug was that the Clippers wanted or felt they needed a point guard. The Reggie Jackson experiment didn’t work. Beverley lacks the distributor skills they want. As internet detective: I don’t see PG-13 being sent out of that scenario since he is the one pursuing it most. They (PG-13/Westbrook) want kawhi/PG-13/Westbro together and Mr money-bags to go way over the luxury tax to piecemeal a team around them.
Thanks bro. I felt that too, but then I thought management would agree to send PG out after his pathetic playoff display against Denver. Westbrook played better than PG did. Tucker could be the stabilizer for Russ, and Ro-Co could be PG's replacement. The handing over of the 2023 Rockets 1 st rounder made me think it might be false, but that would make it even worse.
I think Paul George really liked Westbrook while at OKC. Didn’t have to work much on offense as Westbrook was the energizer bunny that drew all the attention of the defense. PG-13 worked in and out of that gravity.....telling Kawhi he could benefit from that as well. Attempt to emulate what they had in OKC while being in L.A............. plus Kawhi (for Melo role as 3rd star)
