Westbrook to the.....Celtics???

[labelplant]

If Chicago was rebuilding their would be a chance. But after they signed Wade I don't think there is anyway they trade Butler now

Ya it's unlikely. Maybe if it really falls apart in the Chi, they can revisit this in Feb

Yeah I said from the beginning of the summer they should have rebuilt.

Great draft coming up could have gotten a top pick and another one with trading Butler to Boston. I like Butler a lot but he can't be the best player on a title team

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

Celtics front office need to fall back and wait for the next free agency to come through.

Don't throw away all of this hard work for something that ain't even guaranteed.

Right now we in a good position. We don't need to risk it all.

I do think Russ is top 3

But I'd rather have Bulter if I were Boston considering the team and the pieces you give up to acquire each player

 

[Wacky D]

I would disagree that Russ is top 3. We will see this season but the one long stretch he played w/o KD, didn't look that good (his team)

THIS.

We're talking about the year the Thunder didn't make the playoffs

East was weak that year

but the thunder didn't look good at all.

westbrook was out there stat-padding.

He still lead them to a pretty good record and they had no Serge for a bunch of those games as well as nowhere near as deep of a roster as they have now. Plus most of those games Thunder were leading or close and gave them away at the end. I don't have Russ top 3 but top 5-8 is probably in the range I'd have him.

They're still rebuilding, just in a very dumb way. They aren't competing anytime soon...

But their gonna try to at least make the playoffs so there not gonna trade Butler

Like I said they were 16-12 on pace for 46 wins. Their point differential was 1.9 and Russ +/- was around there too
