Russell Westbrook and the Utah Jazz

Westbrook COULD be on the verge of superstardom.

If he gets his head right and his jumper gets a little better dude will be unstoppable
 
Westbrook's shot has gotten better slowly but surely. The biggest problem is that his decision-making hasn't improved at all. Sounds like a potential job for John Stockton.

Who's the best player they got for Harden? Trey and Kanter will both turn out to be way better than anyone they got in the Houston deal.

Ya and they got fleeced in the houston deal.

I bet they have learned.
Plus harden was coming off the bench and was more unknown imo.

I think they know westbrook has superstar potential and superstar type value

Fair enough.

I think they have to lose in the 1st round for this to becomes realistic at all anyway.
 
Maybe if they lose in the 1st round they'll fire their coach and hire Corbin? Then he'd push for including Marv and Jeffy to sweeten the deal.

I dont think its ever gonna be realistic regardless.

Gotta hit a homerun in the draft imo.

Like lazy said..... if we can get a star #1 scoring option like melo, harden, westbrook, etc etc then we gotta do it but i think we wont be able to get that guy via trade or free agency.

Gotta kill it in this draft..... or hope burks becomes da man ;-)
 
I wouldn't give them our pick this year (which would have to be the actual player, correct? This would be after the draft, no?). But we have several assets including our next years pick. There are a lot of options out there and I don't think it's too far of a reach to think OKC would consider it if things don't work out great in these playoffs for them.

RW wants to have his own team. Welcome home.

Yeah, but if we get the 5th pick, I think we'll push for a deal like this.
 
Anybody who would say no to Westbrook on this team…man, I don't know what to say.

He's a top 10 talent, top 15 at worst.

We could probably use a guy like that.

Nobody is saying "No" to him you numb nut, it's what you have to give up to get him and whether or not his knee would hold up.



If we're giving up Burke, Kanter and a pick, we're giving up half of our Core 6 to get him, so he better be productive for a long time.
 
I wouldn't trade for Westbrook or Melo. Particularly Melo. Hell. To. The. No.

Whatever happened to #loveyourneighbor?

If you want to be a decent team, then yeah, we could stay with where we're at. If we want to be a great team, then you have to take a gamble every now and then.

A talent like Westbrook would be worth the gamble.
 
I don't know. First of all, I don't like Westbrook's face. Also, if Westbrook was 6'6", he'd be the best SG in the league. I don't like him as a point guard that I give a max too, tho. I'm just not a huge huge fan of his game. I really don't care for athleticism as much as some others do-- as long as you can defend well, and you can finish somewhat-consistently through contact, I don't need my franchise player to be a dunking-maniac.
