GM said there would be "No fireworks" days before his most active FA'cy period of his career. His word means nothing.

Actually he said not to expect fireworks in free agency but that most of their moves would have to be trades. That is pretty accurate.

If the Thunder are gonna trade Russ I'd imagine they'd need to trade him this summer. I bet he's pissed they were willing to trade him to Toronto.

I wonder if OKC would do Lowry, Gasol, and Siakam for Westbrook and Adams?

Picks thrown in too.

Why would Toronto? They are married to Siakam and you will need a prettier girl for them to move him then Westbrook

Westbrook is an MVP, Siakam is an elite role player currently with the potential to go further. Westbrook also attracts stars better.

Siakam is an all star level player going forward on a rookie contract, Westbrook is an all star level player going forward on a superstar salary.

Westbrook is better at making stars leave his team than join him...

No way Toronto does that. They wouldn't give up Siakam for George and Westbrook so they certainly wouldn't for those two.

My Russ trade prediction:

OKC Gets: Mo Bamba, Aaron Gordon, Johnathan Isaac, Markelle Fultz, Future 1st
ORL Gets: Russell Westbrook, Jerami Grant

Bench would need work but this would be the lineup:
Westbrook / Augustin
Ross / Augustin
Fournier / ?
Aminu / Grant
Vucevic / Birch

Russell Westbrook and the Oklahoma City Thunder are engaged in discussions about the next step of Westbrook's career, league sources told Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.

Both sides understand that the time has come to explore trade talks after Paul George was dealt to the Clippers, including the possibility that Westbrook gets traded before the start of next season.

The 30-year-old Westbrook has four-years and $170 million left on his contract.

Houston for CP3 and (I'm not sure they have it), but maybe a couple of future 1sts.

So you're seriously discounting the massive FA signings that are Rodney Hood and Super Mario? :bgrin:

Compared to the Clippers getting PG and Kawhi, yes! Now last night there were legitimate fireworks.

Showboating MVP of the All-Star Game, sure. A couple of times, IIRC. League MVP? No.

Why would they do that when they just watched Russ choke like a total scrub against us?

Ok I know Russ is easy to hate on, he shoots bad, kind of chases stats, and all that. He’s super interesting though, he’s a really talented guy who plays with a great motor. I have no idea where he fits though. A young rebuilding team isnt going to want him. A more mature team looking to win a ring, bringing him in is a huge risk because of just the way he plays, and how ball dominant he is.

That and half of the guys in the league seem to have beef with him. It’ll be fascinating where he goes, or if they can find a team that wants him and has the assets to make it a fair trade.

Oh man. I guess I totally blocked that from my memory. I still think it’s absurd that so many people got caught up in the triple double nonsense.

I dont know, most of the time growing up I always heard Oscars triple double season would never happen again. So especially the 1st year he did it, I got why people were impressed. That was also the year KD left (and they didnt have PG), he carried them to the playoffs.

I’ve seen so many videos of Westbrook grabbing rebounds from teammates and passing up open shots so he could pass to someone for an assist, that I don’t have any respect for his stats. It’s more like the anti-MVP when he’s playing that way.

I get it, still a record that literally two guys have in the history of the league. Im not a WB fan by any stretch.

I missed it but apparently, Olshey said today during the game that Nurkic could be out till February.

this last season, Portland was 60 games into the season by Feb 25

Exactly what I've been saying on here. There is NO reason for him to come back early. Especially now with Whiteside on the roster. People talking about him coming back in November were crazy.

I love that I completely forgot about Dragic was even in the league, and dude is making 19 mil lol.

You want to know what's worse....the guy that used to be his backup, that I think got traded to PHX last season! The one with the missing tooth and bad beard! Don't even know his name and he makes that much!!!!
