Westbrook And Spurs Need Each Other

[coachmac87]

Jalen Rose and Jacoby are filling in on First Take, and they said Westbrook needs to go to the Spurs, and it can happen if they include a third team in the trade.... And if OKC decides to keep him this year, then he should sign with San Antonio.

I know it's highly unlikely, but still, pretty cool that someone in the mainstream media is putting it out

I haven't heard it yet but if you think about it...makes sense. That's if Westbrook wants to win a ring or wants his "own team". Unless Boston or Knicks can pull something off I don't see another team with core players intact that could compete with GSW for years to come. If I'm Westbrook it'd really bother me to see KD run off 2-3 championships and you're stuck with ZERO.

Clippers or Lakers don't make sense with personnel or structure. He's already thrived in a small market like OKC. SA even though a small market its bigger than OKC and obviously a more respected franchise by causal fans nation wide..and let's be real he'd look great in silver and black.

So it would probably include Parker/Green in any trade scenario? Westbrook/Khawi/Aldridge/Gasol combo would be scary if they could get it to mesh together.

They'd probably want Dejounte Murray and a pick later on, from like 4-5 years from now (Just like Boston did with Brooklyn)

I'm ok with either scenario, almost anyone outside Khawi/Aldridge/Gasol for him.

But are the Spurs willing to do that? And are they willing to do it RIGHT NOW. Seems like Boston is "favorite" because they're willing to make something happen tomorrow..while Spurs maybe more enticed to sign him as a FA and trade Parker once Manu retires. I dunno but if OKC wants to make a deal tomorrow I dunno if Spurs are a serious option...unless Westbrook is very open and demanding to go to SA..in which SA should consider listening and figure something out.

Tbh Spurs may have to give up Aldridge and possibly just move Parker to the bench..

If he's going to take meetings in free agency, I'd think the Clippers are our biggest compe ion tbh. Russ on the Clips as a backup plan if CP3 leaves would be sick. Him, Griffin, and Jordan would be the most athletic team of all time. It's also LA.

I agree, black & silver looks perfect on him

[Jdspur20]

It would take at least Parker, green, future 1st rounder to get him, at the very least. But I doubt that would be enough.

[coachmac87]

Aldridge and Mills plus picks for Westbrook and McGary works on trade machine lol

That's a sight Durant will definitely NOT want to see.

If that's the case I'd expect us to favorites to land Paul,

This silly thread will never die.

What is drowned may never die.

[cd98]

We have no assets to acquire Westbrook. At least nothing that giving up would make us better with Westbrook. Besides, people complain that Parker doesn't pass to anyone and especially not to Kawhi. Are those people ready for Westbrook's antics?

stunning!!!!

lol!

i kinda like this pic, tbh, i like the ferocity of Westbrook more than Durant

[Jdspur20]

Duncan and Paul are close friends. Maybe Tim could convince him to sign with the Spurs.

[TheGreatYacht]

Sheesh, those Russ & Aldridge/Gasol P&P's ...Kawhi would get the same touches Durant got in OKC. Especially if the rotations are the same as OKC's in the playoffs where Durant was running point with the second unit while Westbrook was resting.

Pop already showed that he's okay with running a lot of ISO's and relying on talent, as shown last year. This team would be elite.

[sasaint]

After the Durant bubble burst it sure didn't take ST long to inflate another.

Damn next summer can't come quick enough

You're damn right, RC already booked our tickets to Bora Bora in early June

Though having an absolute killer on the Spurs roster plus the absolute most athletic player in the NBA on the team that has always been bagged on because it's lack of athleticism would be sweet however. I was of the opinion that criteria #1 for being a Spur was being over oneself. Is there a player in the NBA that is less over themself than RWestbrook?

perhaps Pop can mellow him

[tmtcsc]

Yes - send them Tony Parker now.

[poeticism707]

Why? We already got TP.

[John B]

Westbrook can't wait to shove it up on Durant. He'll go to the best team who can help him. RC make it happen.

[ElNono]

Does Sam Presti gets fired if they lose KD and Russ on back to back seasons, tbh?

Losing KD is probably a big enough black eye already...
