    Nice to see that some teams actually are capable of using trade exceptions.

    Westbrook trade coming too? Woj seems to indicate they might just be clearing a spot for Gallinari to start but they've gotta be blowing it up right?

    If OKC gets at least 2 1sts for Westbrook and 1 for Adams then that would be 9 future 1st round picks acquired this summer.

    I'd be surprised if anyone trades for Westbrook. The best they could expect to get is expiring contracts.

    They have all the pieces to go after someone like Brad Beal AND Kevin Love.

    A lineup of :

    Westbrook
    Beal
    Roberson
    Love
    Adams

    is damn good. Depends on if they want to truly blow it all up.

    I should honestly. The only non work related subs I have on youtube are bones’ stuff. Outside of s2 almost all my internet time is working.

    Yeah, you can figure out which one is which.

    Always like Grant's game. Denver is shaping up to be very tough. Fucking sick and tired of hearing about the best duos in the league. The last time I checked its a 5 on 5 game and Bron Bron can't play 48 at his age.

    And Miami should deal for Westbrook. He is a good fit for them and they would shoot way up in the east immediately with that deal. The other possibility seems to be Minnesota but I doubt a personality of Russ' caliber will want to be there.

    I don't like him as a person much, but Portland could go after him with CJ et. al. I doubt, however, that Russ' hubris will allow him to consider Portland. Since, let's face it and contenders for him are going to want to know that he is 1oo% on board. Nobody brings it like RW every game, post-season not included!

    Portland needs to make another addition I am afraid. The most obvious choices are to go hard after Griff or not so hard after Love IMHO. What other needle changer is out there that Portland can deal for? The Blazers sign Griff and they are a legit contender I say as long as he can stay the fuck healthy.

    Maybe a little context? Minutes played is pretty different.

    Doesn't matter anyway. Rich Paul is his agent. I'm sure he'll find his way to the Lakers

    Nugs are so loaded.

    Murray/ Morris
    Harris/ Barton
    Beasley/ Craig / MPJ
    Millsap/ Grant / Hernangomez
    Jokic/ Plumlee

    They are legitimately 10+ players deep and have guys who can play 20 mpg playoff games.
