thunder dont see westbrook as an albatross they were desperate to dump. he has asked out. they're going to want full value for him... they got a record haul of picks for george, and they value westbrook more than they did PG
Again why? They’re looking to save $$$ while holding two of the worst deals in the league in Westbrook and Adams. I can’t overstate how awful that Westbrook deal is going to look over the next 4 years...

except that most of the league doesnt value him as highly and rightfully so. doubt he's going to fetch some godfather offer. PG was different because the assets were traded essentially for PG and Kawhi which you do all day. Westbrook wont command anywhere near as much alone imo
I just see it differently. That ship has sailed. I don’t see small market OKC wanting to pay 34-35 year old Westbrook 47M in 4 years, after trading PG13. In fact the massive haul they got from that deal should actually take the “sting” out of trading Russ in an essentially salary dump deal.

Agree. In fact I think a third team could be in a position to extract something decent in the exchange, where OKC is eager to shift salary to the 3rd team and MIA is eager to get there man.
im not disputing that his contract is a problem. i just dont think OKC sees it that way, tbh.
Has it been confirmed that this potential trade was due to the Morris fiasco? Seems like it could go either way since I have read rumors that Marco has been on the trade block for a while.
Regardless what happens with Morris, they still gotta trade Beli.
I'm hoping he doesn't sign. Carroll has historically played better at the 4. This will free up more minutes for DC there instead of forcing him to play the 3 alongside either Morris or Gay.
Giving Bertans away for free was dumb, but that ship has sailed.

People dont understand the salary cap or cba what so ever.
A trade machine successful projection :
Spurs : Belineli, Forbes, Metu, 2020 1st Rd pick
T Wolves : Covington, Bates-Diop
What would you think of this trade?
i think im having flashbacks to the good old days when spurstalk posers would try to package bonner/blair/neal for good players
Not a chance in the wolves do it...
Funny enough, Kyle Anderson actually fits the team more now...
Who would you sign? Who would you trade? All I read on this forum is Belli, Mills, Bertans, Metu need to be traded! Bertans isn't available anymore to trade or about so who is left?? Tell me jackass!! Or are smart-ass comments all you got??
Unless Morris takes the deal like he said he would, are we going to go as is or are we going to make one more move? Because all I am seeing are types like Marques Chris, Dragan Bender ... saw Christian Wood may be available (wouldn't mind inviting him to training camp). So you have any potential solutions or just gass bag comments??
I agree, Covington is going to be werth his weight in gold to that new GM. Probably sees him as better Ariza. What is out there if Morris doesn't take the deal and Belli and Mills are your trade pieces now?
teams arent going to give us good players in return for our trash that we actively want to dump
yeah i with minnesota takes that deal. and throw in towns while they're at it!
This screams crowder to me.
Belinelli and metu or forbes for crowder
LOL why? Crowder basically a worse version of Carroll.
Frankly, WB's contract is so huge OKC should be the team giving up #1s. The cap hit is almost crippling with the number of year's left. Jimmy Butler will be moving Winslow aside anyway.
PATFO will most likely wait until mid-season for players to be waived than sign a player they don’t really want, while giving opportunity minutes to Metu or Ewwbanks to prove themselves. I like Ewwbanks offensive mindset, quick feet and size, but the guy can’t guard. I mean Spurs are known for making players play better defense. Metu, I like his athleticism but that’s about it. We haven’t really heard from him all summer. His foot better be good enough to play next game and show us any improvements.
, Mills just got married. Now i am sure he's closer to an contract extension than being traded.
That GM apparently doesn't see him as good since hes let it be known that hes shopping him. Also, that GM just declined to match Tyus Jones because hes trying to clear cap space for next summer. If he can get expiring contract and a 1st for Covington he'll take it. It accomplishes what hes trying to get done there.
