WFNZ reports rumors of Russell Westbrook

[cdandi1]

Sorry I don't have any links, but on the way home this afternoon, between 5pm and 520pm I was listening to "The Drive." They had Scoop Jackson from ESPN on the air with them for a few minutes and Taylor Tzarzer (sp) asked what he thought about the rumor circulating that MJ is looking to acquire Russell Westbrook ...

anyway, this is news to me, thought i would share.

:lurk5:

What could we even offer? Boris, Jax, both first this year and maybe a future first as well? Would OKC want a young piece like Gerald back as well??

I like Westbrook but we would have to give up a ton.

This is probably just fluff but here is an article talking about GS trading Monta Ellis.

I dont know who I would rather have, Ellis or Westbrook. Both are great scorers but not true PGs.

I think Westbrook could be the SG and have DJ run the PG but I dont think Ellis would work out at SG with DJ at PG because we would have zero D, kinda like GS.

Would have to give up a poo load of talent to get either Ellis or Westbrook. Want Ellis more, because I think he is a flat out better player. But want Westbrook, cuz I think he'd fit better than Ellis.

Listened to the podcast, doesnt sound like much more than a rumor but we can all hope there is legs to this report.

OKC is gonna trade westbrook to NO for CP3...Harden and Durant would both benefit from the trade and Westbrook could go be a primary option.

I doubt that would happen, OKC would likely have to give up more than Westbrook to obtain CP3 and I doubt they would want to do that.

I hope not, I'd hate to see Chris trapped over there. Between going to OKC or coming home I'd imagine he'd choose the later.

It would make more sense for OKC to call us up about DJ and others in a trade in order for a Durant, Augustin reunion. Better chemistry for sure.

I still want Chris Paul.

Yea, I would love to have him too but I honestly dont think it will happen but who knows.

Its about time MJ's superstardom gets this team something tangible.

You mean 3 future guaranteed first round draft picks, and a poo-ton of cap is not tangible?

Do you know anything of basketball operations?

f that

keep picks, try to get Harrison Barnes, become good team

Mike got those assets because he traded his best player, not because of who he is. Another teams gm isnt going to give the Bobcats some great deal just because of MJ.

I was referring to getting a superstar player to sign here in the near future like CP3 or D. Howard. That would be MJ using his stature.

But dont get me wrong, this team is headed in the right direction imo. I'm a huge MJ fan and he is 1000x the owner that Bobcat Johnson was or will ever be.

( I forgot to us an apostrophe after in the word teams, might want to add that to your impressive grammar insult list. )
