    Can we get Aaron Gordon for Westbrook . Harden is going to land us a wing. We need to focus on bigs with Westbrook.
    I want either MpJ or John Hollins or Aaron Gordon for Westbrook.

    There is zero chance the Nuggets trade Michael Porter, Jr. for Russell Westbrook. I don’t see Atlanta having interest in Westbrook, either, unless it’s a multi-team deal with Westbrook going somewhere else.

    And the Roco trade could be 3 1st Round Picks when it is all said and done.

    That is not a terrible trade actually. Magic seem like they are trying to get rid of Gordon. How is Gordon's defense? I assume not very good but Portland was sniffing around Gordon before they pulled the trigger on RoCo apparently.

    Trade Westbrook for Rozier, Bridges, Batum, 32nd pick? I assume some of you will want more but not sure it is happening unfortunately. Still would look better with Westbrook, Eric Gordon and House on the team I guess but I am just done with Gordon, House, and Westbrook to an extent.

    Rozier / Harden / 32nd pick
    Harden / Bmac
    Ariza / Bridges
    Tucker / Jeff Green
    Aaron Gordon / 16th pick

    I agree. That's why it hasn't happen. Stone has learned well from Morey

    Lmao, no CP3 was Pau.

    Wall at this point might be closer to Ty Lawson given how long he's been out

    I was thinking someone would treat this thread like Lennie and the rabbits, the dream that never will be. That someone would mercy-kill the thread.

    Is there actual validity to trading Warner Bros. for Wall (coming off of an awful injury)? Maybe this was just a phone call: "OK, stay in touch, peace out!" (le freak, c'est chic) "peace out!"

    Taking on Wall better mean either Rui, Bryant is coming in addition to the #9 pick. Hell, send them both Westbrook and PJ for Wall, Rui, and the #9

    That's my point. It looks like good value in a vacuum, but the final grade is determined by how we use these 2 picks and Ariza's NG contract.

    Shams reported it. About as legit as it gets.

    Wizards GM didn’t deny it and said they are looking to improve.

    Him saying more assets is all I needed to know.

    Rockets want Rui and they should.

    Getting Rui for doing the deal would be all I would demand. No pick even necessary. He's worth 2FRP in my mind.

    I'd put him at Center and watch him shine.

    Wall / McLeMore
    Gordon / Tate
    PJ / House
    Harden / Ariza
    Rui

    That's a good starting point and we could draft the big out of Minnesota. Rui is like a mix between Capela and Robert Covington just give him some time.

    Ariza's contract became fully guaranteed once he was traded

    It's part of the CBA that lifts the NG's for salary matching purposes. So the trade isn't going to be complete without Ariza's contract being fully guaranteed. Now they're paying him just as much as he left originally for but now 35 and a 65 win team broken up later. How ironic

    You realize he isn't comparing Wall to Pau on the court right?

    He's insinuating that Wall can be the Robin to Harden's Batman and ,like that Pau Gasol trade for the lakers, can take us to the promised land.

    Which is the stupidest thing i've seen in a long time and I read this board alot.

    If we trade Westbrick for Wall its not for team success, its to secure assets for the future.
