If the Wolves offered Wiggins and picks and OKC chose CP3’s terrible contract, that just shows you what the league thinks of Andrew.

That is an entire roster worth of first-round draft picks from now until 2026. Holy shitballs.

They could trade for Kenyon Martin, Paul Pierce, and Kevin Garnett.

Except I am sure Wiggins wasn't offered. We didn't want Westbrook and his contract as hard as it is for some to understand.

Thank you, Houston. Guess they can do without picks. Jimminy Crickets...really glad we didn't give up that haul.

This is one of those trades where both general managers just went and threw up because neither one of them feels good right now.

Someone always will give up a haul for a player of Russell's caliber. For all of you complaining about his contract, and blah, blah, blah... We could have traded him just like OKC did... but maybe for one less pick.

I sure hope Rosas at least tried to offer Wiggins.

CP3 continues his vagabond career. Presti must have a taker for him already.

No Decker, he wasn't good enough to play here!

This board would rather talk about Euro turds like BeAPizza and hometown scrubs like Tyus Jones being "Good fits in the right system"

We are sure to suck this year with the Cam Reynolds loss. Lulz.

Welcome to another year of being irrelevant.

How can I forget... Let's hype RoCo as if he's a top talent.

Goodnight.

And they did it in about a weeks time. Also got one of the more intriguing young PGs in the league as well.

Westbrook has almost Zero chance to retain value. To get rid of him you had to take back arguably the worst contract in the NBA. Why would we want a player like that, but worth less in a year or two? We wouldn't.

You gotta hand it to the Rockets, they really stepped up to the plate and didn't stand pat.

Nope. Wall, Paul and Westbrook are the three worst contracts. We don't have anything that compares. What we have is the worst rookie maximum contract, for now. But there are worse contracts out there, some signed this year.

Sshhh... Quit speaking the truth!


This is most of what they dream of here. A endless loop of watching horrible basketball and lottery picks.
