Woj bomb. Wow!
Lol wizards

Wow, not sure it improves either team  
bceagle05 : 12/2/2020 8:00 pm : link
but maybe those guys will be happier. Is Harden satisfied or does he still want out? That’s the real question.

WOJ BOMB.
That's a Wow bomb indeed

I'm just glad the Knicks didn't get either one
& I'm with bceagle.

Not sure what team it helps more.
Westbrook takes shits that do more than wall  
djm : 12/2/2020 8:05 pm : link
Unless wall actually plays this year but even then he’s been so injury prone. The first rounder would sting me assuming it’s a high one.

+1. So glad Russ didn't end up here.
Houston getting a first is a big move.

Beal is going to be miserable watching Westbrook hoist up 40 shots a night.


It's a 2023 protected first round pick  
Strahan91 : 12/2/2020 8:08 pm : link
so not exactly premium draft capital either
Pick is protected 2023 per Shams  
shyster : 12/2/2020 8:08 pm : link
how protected not specified
The first is a 2023 protected.

This makes me think Harden isn't being dealt anytime soon.

Hey, the Knicks own like all of the 2023 second round!
As a Bullets fan...  
Mdgiantsfan : 12/2/2020 8:09 pm : link
I like the move...kind of 😂. I like Wall but think once the trade talked leaked it was destine to happen. I’d have preferred a one for one trade but this team has failed at draffing so I’m too upset about that pick...of course with our luck that pick will be a gem.

This will be an interesting experiment adding Russ. I haven’t been much of a fan of his but he brings it when he steps on the court. I hope he and Brad can mesh.
wall and harden make zero sense  
nygiants16 : 12/2/2020 8:09 pm : link
wouldnt be shocked if wall is flipped or harden is traded soon...

Westbrook and beal you can kind of see the fit

Haha. I think the opposite. Is Wall even healthy?

It definitely improves the Wizards. The guy has his faults buts it crazy how much people shit on Westbrook. Wall hasn't played in years and has serious concerns on the court and off.

Westbrook put up 27/8/7 last season. Wiz are surrounding him with 2 elite shooters. I actually really like that team this season with this move.

If Wall is healthy he is a better fit with harden then Westbrook.
Westbrook is going to hurt Beal.
Beal is a basically a FA after this year not sure Westbrook is the help he wants.

Yeah I've watched a few of those clips and he doesn't look bad. Of course you take those clips with a grain of salt because you can't really see his greatest asset which is his speed. But you can see his bounce which is encouraging.

Rockets source: Stance on James Harden has not changed. Houston hopes to be competitive with him this season and does not envision a scenario where Harden would be traded before the opener.
Per Shams...

Sources: Protection on the first-round pick that the Wizards traded to Houston in Russell Westbrook/John Wall trade: 2023, Lottery; 2024, Top 12; 2025, Top 10; 2026, Top 8; then becomes two second-rounders.
Wowzers!

Looks like Rose is staying the course...
That’s a flat out steal for the wizards  
djm : 12/2/2020 9:18 pm : link
Is wall even healthy? Why would the rockets even make that move. Knicks could have gotten WB for next to nothing it would seem. Oh well. Maybe wall is ready to play?
I guess he is healthy

Forgot the Rockets signed Boogie Cousins, too.  
bceagle05 : 12/2/2020 9:37 pm : link
A Kentucky reunion outside of NY. Harden/Wall/Cousins/Wood - not a real contender but certainly a playoff team....if healthy.
I am so glad the Knicks didn't bite on Westbrook.

But I might have taken Wall and a first for Julius Randle. ;-)

Passing in the night.

Can there be two losers in a trade?

WAS should be fun though. I like to watch Beal. Westbrook is always a fun watch too. Should be interesting basketball even if they're not smart long term moves.
Yeah, Washington should be a playoff team.

Russ/Beal + Bertans/Rui + Deni Avdija/Cassius Winston in the draft - they’ll win some games in the East.
