    I grew to love and appreciate Russ this year because he plays hard as hell every night, but this was much needed.

    Why is LA doing this again?

    Quentin Mayo (Beal's mouthpiece) says we'll try to use Kuzma and Harrell to get Dinwiddie in a S&T. Not sure I buy it, but we have a lot more flexibility now. All those guys are on movable contracts.

    Now if we can get rid of Bertans...

    Seems like the only sport where bad contracts are untradeable is baseball

    The fact that the Russ contract is going to be traded again is insane

    The Lakers just need shooters around AD and Lebron, Westbrook is the exact opposite of that, so I’m very confused.

    I think they want a guy who can go balls to the wall in the regular season and conceivably win some games for them while letting them rest AD and Bron

    was the same reasoning (to a lesser degree, of course) behind the Trezz signing last year, let him win games in the regular season and then figure shit out in the playoffs even if he's unplayable then. Obviously it did not pan out as they envisioned.

    if you can convince russ to shoot less and play mostly with bench units but keep his playmaking/ballhandling and focus on playing good defense he can still be an asset. basically super bubble rondo.

    but i'm dubious you can get him to accept that role let alone change his game this much late in his career.

    In terms of fit in the playoffs, idk about this deal

    Westbrook is definitely a great add to spell Lebron and Davis in like February if they need it

    I get the premise that Russ carries them a little in the regular season so Lebron/AD can coast/rest more, but who is 33-year-old Russ going to be passing the ball to in these regular season games he's hypothetically winning them?

    If you’re restricting him to passing and defense he’ll never be a super bubble Rondo, because Rondo is better than him at both those things (especially defense).

    Should look at him more as a super Schroder, IMO—just have him relentlessly attack guys off the dribble and get to the hole/line.

    What the fuck is Philly doing

    The Philadelphia Inquirer's Keith Pompey reported Thursday, citing league sources, that the Warriors rejected a ridiculous trade offer for Ben Simmons, with the Philadelphia 76ers asking for James Wiseman, Andrew Wiggins, the No. 7 and No. 14 pick Thursday's 2021 NBA Draft and two more future first-round picks

    It’s going to end up being one of the situations where they create a toxic environment with all these rampant attempts to get rid of him and then they are going to be forced to trade him at a discounted price.

    Based on stuff I've read and heard on random podcasts over the years, Morey is pretty well known for being a moron about ridiculous trade offers. I think he's still getting moved. That they're asking for this much now suggests to me...

    1. They didn't want picks for him
    2. There hasn't been much in terms of good offers so far
    3. They're hoping a team panics after FA and gives them something better than what's currently out there
