    Next years free agent class sucks and we wouldn’t have enough space to absorb a star anyway.

    Miami doesn't have picks to send OKC's way and there is no way OKC would do that without at least 2 1st rounders.

    I'd rather have no one than James Johnson making $16 million next year.

    Isn't Gallo a small forward? He plays like one.

    Woj mentioning OKC would like to find a deal sooner rather than later probably means it’ll happen within a day or so. Bet they’ve been working on it from the minute they made the George trade.

    They could include Herro.

    If they find a deal on Westbrook, it gives them a lot more time to find a good deal for Gallo. They could probably wait until the deadline before they move him.

    That sequence of Clippers trades since Griffin trade was extremely good:

    Trade Griffin for Harris, Marjanovic, Bradley and a first that became SGA

    Traded Harris and Marjanovic for Shamet, Muscala, Chandler and two firsts (Miami 2021 and Phila 2020)

    Traded Bradley for Temple and Green

    Traded Muscala for Zubac

    Traded cap space (which they essentially created by trading Griffin in the first place) for Moe Harkless and Miami’s 2023 pick

    Traded Phila’s pick for Kabengele

    Traded Shai, Gallo, three of their firsts and both Miami picks for George

    They essentially traded Griffin and 3 firsts for Paul George, JaMychal Green, Shamet, Zubac and Kabengele. For all the talk about the huge price they paid for PG, how they obtained some of these assets was very impressive. Shamet, Zubac are both worst a late first which their 2022 and probably 2024 picks will be. They basically flipped Blake Griffin for Paul George in two years, with the small caveat that George brought Kawhi (the other way around really, I know).

    Miami can’t trade Meyers yet I think, otherwise him and Dragic would make for a nice expiring $30million to throw into Westbrook deal. If it becomes Dragic, Meyers, Winslow and them lifting protection on 2023 pick, that’s probably the best deal OKC are going to get anyway. At this point it’s about getting rid of that contract and maybe getting 1-2 assets on top of it but they won’t get major value. If they could get both Winslow and Herro that’s a steal.

    Gallinari would be cool on this team and Portland is probably the best fit for him but I agree it’d be awkward to trade Bazemore now.

    Miami has KZ Okpala who I’m almost certain Portland was interested in. Maybe we surrender a first for him and Miami uses that pick plus Herro and expirings (including Baze) for Russ. We also get Galo in the deal. Could we sign Okpala for the minimum?

    In helping to move Westbrook somewhere? Or in the previous George/Gallinari deal?

    The semi exact quote to me was "hey, keep an eye on this OLC stuff. Rumors going around that Portland is trying to get in on this"
