Westbrook: For or Against? (Poll)

Post by LordNu »

Let your opinions be counted!

And this is simply a "would you like Westbrook on this side" poll, not really a discussion of what it costs, as that is part of the general topic thread. I assume it'd be Wiggins +

I lean towards against, but it depends on what it would take. Teague and Gorgui? Sure, let's do it. But I'm not adding in any draft picks and likely not Wiggins, but that's what it would take.

This is a really divisive proposition. It wasn't like this for the Butler trade, I think there was a majority for that one.

Froobs seem to be staunchly for or against, which is another interesting factor.

And for the record, I said FOR. After last seasons tragic comedy, I stopped really caring. I guess I am hoping this would inject some excitement.

I recognise Westbrook is a very difficult player, and I recognise I am completely dismissive of his character faults. Weird.

I don't know if our future looks that bright.

So, probably wouldn't be crippling much.

That's where I'm at. I don't think we have much.

We don't have one guy we would be giving up as talented as even Lavine and I'm glad we don't have him under his current contract.

Westbrook would be a short term sugar high. He doesn’t make us a contender for anything, and hurts the long term roster structure/ construction.

Give Rosas time cause we ain't going no where with Westbrook. By this time next year we should be looking at a different picture and it cant go anymore for the worse

I will say the real problem with a small market team and trying to constantly keep up with the LA's and East coast flavors to be able to compete is we dont have an owner willing to pay the tax. I'd be all in with a move like this if we had deeper pockets

Taylor will spend the money for a contender, it's been a long time, but he isn't a cheap owner.

It’s not like we couldn’t ever trade him. Sure his contract is expensive, but a contender team will always find a way.

Wolves should definitely try.

That’s the dumbest thing anyone has said here in awhile . Classic logical fallacy of circular reasoning.

Well, that aint a very long list you got there.

Now, imagine Westbrook played for the Warriors and Curry played for the Thunder. :thinking:
