    Westbrook wouldn't know what to do without the ball in his hands.
    The only place I see him ending up would be Canada as they could market him to the whole country.

    Why would he want to leave his home town & son to come back here?

    I never want to see LaMarshmallow in the Scarlet and Red again. F**k that guy. He pouted through Roy, Oden, Lillard and Kawhi, always wanting the attention and to be handed the mantle of leadership. Then when he gets it, he shirks his responsibility.

    I remember way back 75-77 the Sixers were loaded up with stars and ran into a team that played like a team. The lakers were also loaded with stars and we swept them in the semi's.
    Sure we had the big Red head ( The best center to ever play the game) but a bunch of role team players and one enforcer brought it home.

    Yeah. But Larry Steeles and Lloyd Neals don't grow on trees.

    I don't think that's what it would be:

    Dame vs Beverly
    CJ vs PG/Kawhi
    Hood/Bazemore vs PG/Kawhi
    Zach vs Harrell/Green
    Whiteside/Nurk vs Zubac/Vet...and the Clippers go their version of small-ball with incredible length on the floor

    The Clips are going to have a stifling defense and Doc knows how to coach defense

    and one thing we know, is that most times, Dame/CJ struggle...a lot...against length

    You have an interesting definition of "project." There's no way Toronto trades him, but if they did I would take him in a NY minute.

    Sneaky move would be to nab Sabonis.

    Rugged yet cerebral. He'd be a perfect fit.

    We aren’t getting Blake Griffin, the Pistons got a lot better this off-season. They could be top 4 in the east potentially.

    If Simons is legit... we have CJ to make a true power move as well.

    Would Gallinari be a power move?

    Who are we trading to get Gallinari right now?

    OKC wouldn't want the extra salary of Whiteside because they are trying to cut tax.

    Bazemore is the only player that works but if we trade him we're back to being too thin on the wing.

    Lillard - CJ - Hood ? - Gallinari - Nurkic

    That's championship team. Everyone can score 20 any give night (okay Hood not so much, but still). Defense would be a worry though.

    Gallinari last year
    20/6/2.6 on 43% shooting from '3'. No defense though.
