If Westbrook can still get traded, for the 4th time with a big ass contract, including after the last year in L.A., all you people whining about Dame taking the extension should realize, no contract is untradeable.
 
Will the Lakers somehow sign Miles Bridges?

See: John Wall. Yes, some contracts are untradeable.

With that being said, I would find it hard to believe any Blazers fans would anticipate Dame would suddenly dip down to the Westbrook/Wall level of value after signing that massive extension. Just because he'd be tradeable, though, doesn't mean it is a smart thing to do.
 
Nets are gonna want 2 1st to take on more salary and Westbrook, to let Cryee go. If i was the Nets , i'd Wall him like Houston did. Let his ass rot for a year, if the Lakers refuse adding the draft picks.

Yup. LeBron is only getting older. Demand unprotected 1sts 2-3 years into the future
 
It's crazy to me that it's even possible to trade Russ. Dude just received all of the karma all at once and is just done. Even with picks. I just can't believe Kyrie for Russ is not a joke.

(And I know Kyrie is insane, but he can still play basketball. Russ can't.)

You mean the John Wall that was traded by the Wizards?

Or do you mean the John Wall who had an Achilles injury, an infection, and was still traded with his big contract? Or the John Wall who has never been as good of a player as Damian, who still got traded with a bad contract?
 
Swoop in and nab Ben Simmons on the cheap.

A healthy Simmons/Blazers = contenders
 
i'm sure Harden would love to team up with Kyrie again.
 
I hate the idea that the lakers are going to be able to unload a useless washed player for an all-star talent because they’re LA.

Someone on Reddit said something to the effect of the Lakers are like a rich kid that crashes his dad’s car and is immediately rewarded with a new one. No matter how much they mess up and make dumb decisions, they end up getting bailed out.
 
take a risk on simmons. you have to if the math works; it probably dont.

Yeah, it's bullshit. Hope it falls through. They deserve to be stuck with Westbrook.
 
The best the Nets can fetch for Irving is Westbrook and basically no prospect? I wouldn’t assume any picks the Lakers have would be worth a damn.

A black hole and a guy who refuses to play...sounds about right.

I mean the one that didn't play at ALL last year and then just got released by the Rockets four days ago.

You think they could have traded his contract? If not, how can you disagree with me that some contracts are untradeable?

Dame is not relevant to the general statement that "all contracts are tradeable". Because they're not, and John Wall just demonstrated that. Again... four days ago. It's not a big mystery.

I think they want to unload a bad contract on the Lakers, too... but it would still be a depressing day if I were a Nets fan and that trade happened. Haha

He had come off a career changing injury, pouted all year and sat out and if a team was going to trade for him they'd be trading for 40 million in a contract that is a much harder pill to swallow than Damian getting a big contract.

So, yeah, the unknown of Walls situation played a bigger role than his contract.
 
I hope it happens and the nets can't move Durant, just to see Durant being pissed at Westbrook again

Was his contract tradeable?

Yes or no.

The rest is just noise and excuses and you not admitting you were wrong.

Yes it was tradeable.

HE wasn't tradeable.
