Trade for Westbrook?

[Spurs9]

Westbrook will probably be up on the block soon, I don't see him wanting to probably stay in OKC. Thoughts of him as a Spur?

[YoungbuckMurray]

Ya we are good. We have a similar cheaper player in Murray

[Ice009]

Presti wouldn't give him up for cheap. You have seen the kind of deals Presti likes to make. I wouldn't be willing to pay what he'd probably be after.

I also prefer to go with the younger guys. Russell had his chance to ask for a trade here after Durant left. I'm not interested anymore, especially after seeing his stat padding after Durant left. I do not like the kind of basketball and I was also heavily against him for winning MVP playing that way.

[r0drig0lac]

wolves for wiggins is the best fit for both teams

[HarlemHeat37]

Russ doesn't care about George leaving:lol he's in the perfect spot in OKC, it's not all about winning games..

[Ron Swanson]

Hell no.

[timtonymanu]

Good fucking grief. First Cousins, now Westbrook. We already got rid of a cancer who was a legit franchise player but now you guys want these not only team cancers but inefficient fucks too.

[Dverde]

I think their still a playoff team with Danilo.

[RC_Drunkford]

Murray will be better than Russ...maybe even next year already

[baseline bum]

Russ doesn't care about George leaving:lol he's in the perfect spot in OKC, it's not all about winning games..

Yeah he can be the guy massively overrated in 25 years when people who didn't watch him look at those statlines.

[Marcus Bryant]

C'mon now.

Hell no! Only a jackass would want a declining Westbrook.

[BacktoBasics]

They should definitely move him but I have no interest in him. The only player in NBA history that has made getting a triple double a selfish thing.

[james evans]

exactly. He's got to average that triple double. As long as he does that, he's happy

I can see boh teams doing that tbh

Yup. The moment i saw the PG trade I thought that it’s only a matter of time that he ends up a Knick. And, actually, for the Knicks it wouldn’t be a terrible move.

[Nathan89]

I'd make that trade instantly if on the table tbh. That's obviously not close to what okc is looking for.

[cjw]

I’d only take him on in that deal if I’m getting two of the first rounders OKC has. As much as we hate DDR around here, I’d take him 100x out of 100 even if he and Russ had the same salary. Russ is one of the worst players in the NBA if you’re aim is to win a title. And their salaries don’t match, so Russ hamstrings you even more.

Actually, it would be a terrible move. He’s the worst type of player you can spend $38.5mm on now and $47mm in three years. Will help you win games in short term and hurt draft position, all while becoming more of an albatross in the long run.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Our douche demanded a trade. We don't need a bag now.

[I'm confused]

No...

[kaji157]

Westbrook will never leave OKC unless the organization asks him to.
You can say many things about him, but the guy is loyal.

[RD2191]

He's not loyal. He's there because he can do whatever he wants on the court. The dude is the definition of a stat padder.

[ironman2886]

Westbrook is a fucking cancer. You can’t reason with him. He’s stubborn. He’s thin skinned like Durant and Kyrie. He has tunnel vision, and needs the ball in in hands at all times. He’s an amazing athlete, though.

[Leetonidas]

Lol no thanks man, this dudes style of play is an eye sore. Knicks by far make the most sense of any team to trade for him

[SpurPadre]

He's still the most athletic player in the game but he's also a stat padder on the decline and doesn't fill an area of need. No thanks.

[sananspursfan21]

I’m not one to say hell no to many stars but he’s a BIG HELL NO!!!

[phxspurfan]

Not really

[BacktoBasics]

Not really
I can live with a guy trying to take advantage of the moment or even being selfish for a game or two but this guy has hijacked an entire franchise in order to build a legacy on the falsehood that he’s accomplishing something that transcends the league. Most selfish player ever... and that’s considering just how much I hate Kawhitter.

[dbestpro]

I decided to take another look at this by looking at each team and their salaries. Not many teams have the assets and salaries to make a trade for Westbrook work. The Spurs do centered around DDR, White, Murray, Walker, Forbes (not all of them) draft picks, and a vet contract like Belenelli. From OKC's perspective, any two of the four young guns, 2 number ones picks, DDR and Beli might get it done.

[JuneJive]

Westbrook is a net negative asset going forward.

Giving away one of our younguns is a no go.

But something like Derozan, Beli and a pick is interesting.

[Blackhaus]

Dude literally can’t shoot anymore (not like he was a good shooter to begin with). His game is all predicated on being athletic and Father Time is going to come real soon for him.

never liked him as a player, he’s a stat guy. You’ll never see him win big because for the few things he does well, he does 10x more stupid stuff that negates everything.

[vavvi]

Can we please have Bradley Beal instead?

[Ice009]

How many years does Beal have left on his contract? Are the Wizards looking to shed his salary and start over, or has he only got a short term left on his contract? If he's still got a few years and the Wizards are looking to start a rebuild, maybe see if they want DDR? They could then either buy him out or let him expire.

Beal becomes an unrestricted free agent in 2021.

[Ditty]

I’m in San Diego right now and saw Westbrook checking into a hotel. He was with a bunch of black dudes in SUV’s. He was talking to someone on the phone. Maybe his check because he was smiling

Beal instead of DeRozan would be a perfect fit for us but if the Wizards trade him they want real assets back including multiple first rounders and young players. Especially after they saw those AD & PG trades (and even Harris before that).

Doesnt come even even close to matching salary wise.

[Realdeal1]

So far ... heat , rockets , pistons and T-wolves are rumored to have interest in Russ

[daslicer]

Never have been a fan of this guy. He cut from the mold of Iverson-Marbury-Francis. Stereotypical super athletic combo guard who is a chucker. His biggest strength is his athletic ability and that will decline in spades since he's in his 30's.

[wildbill2u]

Spurs Pro/Con questions: Could he sacrifice his stats and mentions for MVP to fit into the Spurs system? Would he make the young players better by his example on the court?

OKC Pro/Con questions: Could they afford the loss in ticket sales by trading off their most exciting player? They can't put draft picks on the court to fill up the arena. Who is Demarr Derozen?

[gambit1990]

make it happen :tu:tu

people here would eat so much crow...

[John B]

Depression >>> Cancer

[Mr. Body]

I can see the Rockets pulling him. Maybe dump CP4 with loads of picks or a package with Gordon and others and tons of picks.

[DPG21920]

It actually does; that trade would work.

[spurraider21]

of course it does

[Chillen]

OKC would take DeMar because they want a star caliber player to fill stands with while rebuilding but if Spurs want Westbrook it will cost us DeMar, Belinelli and likely Walker and a few future 1st round picks. I would not give them Murray or White, no way.

Spurs likely will pass on going for Westbrook because his salary is so high per year and they like DeMar.

[Pavlov]

OKC would take DeMar because they want a star caliber player to fill stands with while rebuildingThat's what they're already doing with Westbrook.

[Chillen]

That's what they're already doing with Westbrook.

Yes but if reports are true Westbrook wants out they would look at DeMar as a player to help fill seats for them.

[Pavlov]

Yes but if reports are true Westbrook wants out they would look at DeMar as a player to help fill seats for them.Meh, I think OKC fans would be fine with a Philly-type "process" of shitty but fun young players for awhile. It's the only pro game in town.

The only pro game except for the football Sooners.

[slick'81]

Rockets now in the mix:lol

[Dennis the Menace]

Murray White are untouchable with the fanbase. Hopefully front office realizes this from a fanbase support perspective

[Chillen]

Rockets now in the mix:lol

Harden and Westbrook were pretty good they made the Finals in 2012 and choked to Miami, but they had that KD guy.

Both players have yet to make the Finals yet as the man.


Murray White are untouchable with the fanbase. Hopefully front office realizes this from a fanbase support perspective

If Spurs do show interest in Westbrook, DeMar, Marco, Forbes and a 1st should be plenty. I would never offer Murray, Walker and White.

[RC_Drunkford]

Please don't trade for Westbrook. I don't even know if he would improve the team if we'd replace Metu with him. I'd rather let White and Murray play and have DeRozan on a much cheaper and shorter deal than to be locked into a 4 year contract of an inefficient Westbrook on the athletic decline

[bic50]

Hell nah!

[baseline bum]

They should definitely move him but I have no interest in him. The only player in NBA history that has made getting a triple double a selfish thing.

Didn't Oscar Robertson have kind of a similar reputation?

[CGD]

I’d only take him on in that deal if I’m getting two of the first rounders OKC has. As much as we hate DDR around here, I’d take him 100x out of 100 even if he and Russ had the same salary.

It’s the knicks. This was their big summer and they flopped hard.

[Cryptic Parable]

Didn't Oscar Robertson have kind of a similar reputation?

no

[John B]

No thanks. I advocated for Cousins because he was a min 1 year to fill a Big need. Westbrook is a 4 years supermax contract and Spurs already have multiple guards, combo, bench, G-League, you name it, in that position. So nope.

[baseline bum]

no

Thought I remembered reading it in Simmons' book. That Oscar and Wilt weren't liked very well around the league for being major statpadders. Wilt especially though.

[Chillen]

Well the real problem isn't Westbrook and Spurs developing younger players it's that one of DeMar or LMA would have to go. There is no way to make a big 3 of DeMar, LMA, Westbrook happen the Spurs just can't do it don't have enough large contracts to dish out. So to a degree acquiring Westbrook Spurs would have to pay a huge price and they already have a nice roster set up for next season. It's up to Spurs and I would be ok with DeMar being traded but the more stars you have the better in this league. So the reality is it doesn't change much for the Spurs other than getting talked about on ESPN and media circles.

[Dhbsr555]

That’s nearly double derozen salary no thanks

[tonski17]

our guards are already loaded. Spurs will contend this season! Go Spurs Go!
