Congrats to NBA Draft No. 1 pick Anthony Edwards!

Played with Vin Baker years old.

 

Seems like a foregone conclusion that the Rockets are going to do everything they can to trade Westbrook and Harden now, if they're doing things like attaching draft picks to dump Ariza.

 

Still a weirgen.

 

Blah, blah, blah blah. Salaries are linked to revenue, revenue goes down so will salaries. It’s as simple as that.

 

Maybe. But they had to make clear to everyone involved that they weren't going to rush anything and just dump one or both of them for 15 cents on the dollar. Whether or not they actually do, they were smart to send the message that they will not rush any of this. Supposedly, they have two seasons, though I strongly suspect that one or both will stink up the room to force the Rockets' hand.

 

If he plays for the Pistons they will be his 10th team
If you count the past 24 hours, he has had three stints with the Rockets

 

I think Westbrook's value is probably close to zero or underwater at this point, except in really rare circumstances. (Non-playoff team that just needs *someone* to put up shots and carry the offense.) But, those are the teams he probably wouldn't want to play for anyway.

 

Not so sure about that. I didn't see a way in this universe that Oklahoma City would find a way to deal Chris Paul. Then Sam Presti found a way to dump his ego, his low blows, that colossal salary ... and get a first-round pick in the deal.

If that market is out there for Paul, there's a market for Westbrook.

 

Meanwhile, here in Minnesota, it appears the Timberwolves are trading a pick for Ricky Rubio and two of OKC's late first selections and I swear to God most of my timeline is more excited about getting Rubio back than the guy they drafted first overall.

 

Paul had a great year last year. He was never going to be difficult to unload.
