So, what do the Thunder do?
- Thread starter Malta
- Start date
Naw, they improved if they get Tyler Johnson. They are trying to build a team with a bunch of great screen setting bigs, have Tyler Johnson and LeVert to create and RHJ to move off the ball. It's quite good roster building and remains me of what Ferry tried to do with the Hawks.
But Trevor Booker is elite at setting screens. It's clear Brooklyn will run a million in one PnR's next year with Lin.
If I'm the Lakers or celtics, there's no way I'm giving up Russell, Ingram, or brown/the Brooklyn picks for Westbrook on a one year rental?
As been confirmed, there's no way he signs an extension, he's going into free agency, it's a huge risk
These young players on rookie contracts that go into restricted free agency are too valuable... You pretty much have those players cost controlled for 8-9 years without having to go through this
These rookies are so valuable at 2-5 million per year when people like Evan turner are getting 75 million

Who is worse than them right now? I think philly is straight now, they kind of have an actual team now, plus they still got a Noel/okafor trade coming
If I was the Lakers, I would trade Russell but just Russell for Westbrook.
Philly. Chicago and Atlanta are pretty shytty. Especially Atlanta.
I disagree, my friend, Atlanta went from horford to Howard and is bringing much bringing back the same team. Shroeder gonna be crazy motivated.
Chicago lost who? Noah didn't play for them last year anyways, so it's not those huge loss. Valentine will contribute right away and as much as people hate rondo, it's arguable that him and rose are a wash. I actually think rondo is a better fit for that team than rose.
Problem is their working with zero leverage. Best bet would be a team like Cle or Sas who could theoretically compete with GS with the addition of Westbrook. Anybody else (ex. LA) would be foolish to give up anything worthwhile when they can just try to sign him outright next summer.
Atlanta lost their best PG. The most talented is Dennis but starting and being a backup aren't the same thing and we do not have one good screen setter outside of Scott. He is an elite PnR guy but we seen how bad PnR PG'S get with out good bigs and yes, I think Dwight is garbage. Not to mention I think Sap will be trade before Feb.
They lost Gasol too. Man, do you watch Basketball?
I probably take that risk if I'm the lakers. I don't think okc would accept that
Ehh...depends. He MIGHT be open to doing that for the Lakers. On the flip side, he might want to come to join a very good team in a much easier Eastern Conference with a great young coach, lots of cap space, draft picks, a rabid fanbase, and a winning tradition. :GladBrad:
This is very true.
I haven't read the rest of your convo there, but I don't expect much from the Bulls this season, but Pau leaving is a blessing and you can go on any Bulls forum and see how pleased we are hes gone
Danny's offer would be Isaiah and smart most likely, with filler (rj, mickey, young, other 1st) but not including the Brooklyn picks
