    I’m frankly shocked that Beal didn’t see the immense value to winning games that Westbrook brings.

    Probably cannot include House + you can do Wall + 23 for Kennard, Pat Bev, Rondo, Ferrell, + #25...

    Move down 2 slots and move Wall? yes, please.

    Then you can move Pat Bev, Kennard, & Rondo as smaller chunks... just takes the Clippers & West) to see the vision

    This is going to turn out more like Kobe, Nash, Gasol and Dwight than Lebron, Wade & Bosh IMO.

    No doubt Lebron, AD and WB are good/great players but the spacing will be terrible. Lakers would've been better serve getting Buddy Hield.

    As for reports Beal still wanting to stay in WAS... he's either the most loyal player ever, delusional about the Wizards future, really love WAS or just really hates moving.

    Why the heck couldn't the rockets do this? We ended up with wall who is going to be hard to trade.

    I think it's a horrible fit but he's basically free at that cost. Not like they traded a better PG, 2 picks and 2 swaps for him.

    Well they could've gotten Buddy Hield instead who would've been a perfect fit. That's a big swing.

    Who won the Westbrook trade out of Rockets and Wizards (trading out Westbrook)...

    Wizards getting Harrell, Kuz, KCP, potentially a pick (the key here) or Rockets getting Wall and a pick

    Don't worry. Rockets will trade for Kemba soon and he'll somehow end up being an even worst asset than Wall. that will complete the rockets master plan of going from CP3 to WB to Wall to Kemba.

    Wall is the crappiest player in the NBA so the Wizards won.

    We weren't trying to tank when we traded for him.

    Not anymore. Rockets aren't good, so I have no real stake in other players demise. Harden is gone, so I have no hate in my heart for other players in relation to him. Schadenfreude is not hitting the way it used to.

    should be interesting as a spectator though.
