Yep, my hot take for the night,
There will be a trade occurring during or right before the season continues post allstar weekend! Book it!

I remember either Kobe or MJ saying that Westbrook has the Kobe/MJ unleash the killer inside competitive mindset that LeBron kawhi and many others (cough cough pg13) don’t have.
That’s one of Russ’s qualities/skills that doesn’t come up on the stat sheet.
Shit cp3 had the same mind set as well, these guys HATE to LoSE!
Everybody is the enemy outlook.
Add that type of star to our team and talk about contagious, somebody has got to embrace the villian role.

IF healthy, they have a shot against anyone but their late game play on both ends & defense as a whole, needs WORK!

As for buyouts, I just don’t see who the Clippers can get over any of the other contending teams that’ll make them better.. The Nets are gonna get whoever they want & I don’t blame players for wanting to go there

Yup.. EVERY player has holes in their game, but since folks are enamored with analytics & the fuckin 3 pt shot, they trash his game! He has & plays with something no other player has EVER played with or been able to replicate.. There’ll NEVER be another player like him!

What’s funny is folks stay away from nitpicking their favs & chalk up their flaws as no big deal.. The positives always outweigh the negatives in their eyes lol

Yeah people nitpick him and his game isn’t perfect, but he’s a hell of an athlete!
He “doesn’t “ settle for the three because he knows his game and he’s best at attacking the the rim like a freight train outta hell! He kicked out very nicely last night too and it was hard not to imagine him doing that for kawhi and pg13 and our shooters! Nothings impossible
We buried our future into this run so every ounce of addition and hard work needs to happen badly.

I don’t feel good about the winning it all this season either , there was a point in the season that I tried not to get ahead of myself, but I really felt really good about our chances. Highs and lows, good thing is we have a good amount of games left along with trade deadline and buyouts to figure this thing out a little better.
Harden to the nets even though they’re in the East kinda forced our hand imo, anytime a team has three top players in the league like that you gotta assume they’re gonna be really good and they have been even with Durant out.
These buyout guys and trade deadline gonna be crucial for not only us but for a lot of teams because of what the nets have done. Hell bucks big three giannis holiday Middleton even though holiday and Middleton are middle tier stars looks better on paper then our pg13/kawhi and a bunch of really good vet role players mook/Bev/ibaka/Zu/Lou

Only way he re ups is if they win it all & honestly, I don’t see that happening.. I just don’t see how they beat the Nets the way they’ve struggled to close games & their reliance on outside shooting, on top of playing against 8, & that’s assuming they even make it out the west!

Watched game on delay from work so I didn’t see the comments but he was the reason they won.. For all his issues, him being healthy, has turned that team around.. & as much as I like him, I’d never trade half the roster for him even though he’s exactly what they need

Well if Lou really goes through with his threat, and retires if traded, that lowers his already low trade value from aged veteran expiring to a contender/playoff team to merely just an expiring contract to any team. Will be interesting to see what our FO decides to do. Odds are he finishes his last season with us and either retires, ring chases or re ups here one more time on another super low value contract

The Lou waffling is understandable – we been doing this dance for 2 years now. My position hasn’t changed. Lou does good stuff for this team that other guys on the roster can’t – Luke can shoot better but never gets to the line, Mann can finish around the rim better but isn’t a shooter/distributor, and Reggie is somewhere inbetween. That being said, Lou has very clear limitations, and similar to Trez, it’s on the coach to know when those limitations are being exposed and are a problem.

That doesn’t mean Lou is untouchable in trades, it just means that he shouldn’t be traded away just for the sake of it – we need to get something/someone actually valuable in return.
