    Yes this is a lock.


    This is like no other super team in the NBA before ever. Not the heat not the Lakers attempt not the Celtics....


    This team is going to perform well from day one. There may be questions of who takes the shot but the shots will fall. 3 of the best shooters EVER. playing together entering / in their prime....


    The floor spacing on this team is f---ing nuts...the only thing restraining them is the court because this team could you spread you out the whole f---ing parking lot.....


    This s--- will be NUTS...... 2 top 3 players in the NBA along with 2 more in the top 18 oh and they can all s---t and pass......



    f---ing NUTS


    Who's gonna stop them?


    Okc obviously eliminated

    SAS? Another year on those old wheels

    CLE? The best chance but winning a title for Cleveland may quiet that competitive edge in Lebron...



    So who the f--- ?????????

    I sometimes forget that Young's career went on after he ran away from home back when he was with the Titans, because fans booed him and his feelings got hurt or some s--- like that.

    No chance Westbrook ever signs with the Cavs. The Magic and Nuggets got back pretty good hauls for Dwight & Melo on the last year of their deals. Obviously not equal value, but better than just letting him walk.

    Yea maybe there was no chance Westbrook would have gone to the Cavs, but then Kevin Durant spit in his face. So I would say that leaves the door open a crack especially with everyone signing the 1/1 deals nowadays. Melo and Dwight made it blatantly clear that they wanted out and both were/are cancers. Different situation with Russ. Chris Mannix was on local sports radio talking about the Celtics giving up all of the Nets picks, Isaiah Thomas and more for 1 year of Westbrook....Pass Pass Pass

    Again i think the fact that the NBA Finals is set, no matter who trades for Westbrook makes a deal for him tough to do. The only types of deals i think get made are an all star going out with multiple years left on his contract that the team doesn't like (and can afford to lose). That team also has to be a top 5-ish team in the league and be a FA draw in case Westbrook leaves, which the Cavs are.

    Taking a chance on Westbrook liking your city when your team won't be competing next year is a stupid a--- move and i can't stress that enough. Maybe someone will roll the dice on that, hope to god its not my team.

    For all we know Russ could've told KD he couldn't commit to OKC long term, so KD got out a year early.

    I also think the Cavs are an awful fit. Kyrie/Bron/Russ all trying to share the ball? We saw how hard it was for Miami with Bron & Wade, I can't imagine adding another PG to the mix.

    GS might work with these guys because of the system and unselfishness of Curry and co.

    The Cavs would be a tough fit, but im using them as the type of team who could afford to drop a guy like Love and then have Westbrook walk and it wouldn't really effect them long term.

    It's gonna be interesting for sure. I don't really think he's waiting to join the 20 win Lakers by himself.

    Atlanta
    Brooklyn
    Chicago
    Indy
    Orlando
    Philly

    Dallas
    Denver
    Houston
    Lakers
    Minny
    New Orleans
    Sacramento
    Utah


    The crossed out cities are places I don't think have a shot at landing him. I could see him reuniting with Harden in HOU.

    i really think he would join the Lakers. Deng is their. They ahve young talent. And a lot of money still. Westbrook is a s---t first pg so why would he go join a team where Harden is a scorer? Westbrook is from LA and went to UCLA. I could definitely see it happening.

    Deng lmao...

    The LA connection is what sells him. The Lakers spending big money on guys like Deng and Mozgov may be the reason he doesn't go there.

    He's gonna be 28 next year, if he wants to put up numbers on a non contending team, he'll continue to do it in OKC for a lot more money. Unless you get another star, the Lakers are a long shot to get Russ.
