    I'm okay with them stealing the show. Watching the trainwreck this season will be well worth it. This is type of **** @DreamShook loves.

    Already been said but must be repeated.

    If old ass Lebron can win a title with the version of Westbrook we have seen over the last 4-5 years, it’s over.

    Sorry MJ.

    If anyone can make it work, it'll be ol' Bron.

    I'm betting Lebron thinks of it as having someone to spell him so he doesn't have to do all of the playmaking duties. Regular season, given they are all relatively healthy, I imagine it working just fine. Post season though I don't know...

    People really do underestimate leadership though and if anyone can get Russ to stick to his strengths it'll be Ol' Bron.

    Still surprise Westbrook got a somewhat positive return. Do we think Clippers or Heat for that matter can offer a reasonable package for Wall? Maybe a 3 team deal where one of Morris, Kennard or Beverley go elsewhere in order to make the numbers work? Mavs could use Beverley as a solid expiring.

    I just want at least one decent asset (future draft pick?) and no worse contracts. Will take Morris, Kennard and Beverly and/or Zubac, future draft pick back for Wall + House? I tried to do this in ESPN trade machine and they have House on a 1 year deal for $38 mil...lol. Obviously the trade was rejected. Can see this trade potentially assuming the Clippers have a way to fill the roles vacated by Morris and Kennard?

    They could've had both KCP and Hield, and keep their first round pick. Instead they lose all that and get Westbrick. This is a Dolan-esque move.

    I need that clip of Lebron laughing at Westbrook talking trash while down a lot in a closeout game

    I'm happy to trade John Wall back to them. We can make it a three team trade. :eek::p

    hopefully Stone can catfish some team into taking Wall…if we trade Wall, and it’s for yet another albatross, I’m gonna throw air punches

    So no Buddy for the Lakers? That would have been the ideal trade.
