Westbrook’s ego vs. LeBron’s ego. Grab some popcorn and enjoy.
Only a non could say that. Only thing they ever want is to win. You can’t be a real fan. In life real talent has Big Ego. But winning is about team. Big egos know that better than anyone.
I think he means on the court both guys like to drive to the basket at a high clip
I think he doesn’t know. Any athlete with real talent got big ego. Winning is not about egos. Pretty simple really. Haters just don’t get it.
Both of the picks Houston traded to get Sengun are heavily protected, so it’s not like they really gave up that much. The one from Detroit is top-16 protected in 2022, top-18 in 2023 and 2024, top-13 in 2025, top-11 in 2026, and top-9 in 2027 (otherwise it becomes a 2nd round pick). The pick from Washington is top-14 protected in 2023, top-12 in 2024, top-10 in 2025, and top-8 in 2026 (otherwise it becomes two 2nd round picks). Any of these picks will be much later than OKC’s own first rounders.
I loved what Hou did last Thurs
Felt OKC should have taken Sengun themselves
Hope you guys get Garuba signed, gonna be a fun team in 2~3 years in Hou
Houston is a lottery team again. This is your Fifth name in two yrs lol. LOL that’s a nbarumors.com Record. You know Wood is a goner. None of his teammates like him . HomerVision is fatal
? Don’t act like the Knicks were anything more than a punchline before less than 365 days ago.
Glass houses, Alvin. Paragraphs, too.
Hey what happens with the Pistons first round draft pick in 2022 (top 16 protected) that the Thunder own if it doesn’t convey?
Same with the Wizards 2023 pick?
Do they turn into unprotected firsts the following year if they don’t convey?
Just read the above comment and found the info myself. So they traded the 16th for possibly 2 firsts that might get in like 3/4 years time.
Obviously these picks will be used in a trade and additional first round picks cause the picks themselves hold below average value
Knicks
2 First Round Picks are worth nothing. They got nothing in return.
You don’t trade for future first round picks from good teams. You trade for top 50 players.
Those future picks from Nets and Clippers are not good. They have money to sign stars and pay luxury taxes.
And what Stars are there exactly to sign?
They have nothing to trade moveable so stars via trades is a no go
Fact is future firsts are usually worth more in theory than actual drafted player so kicking the can another year (if they didn’t like 21′ draft options) isn’t exactly a terrible plan
Feels like you are using a blank check and Park Ave to build the Knicks
It just doesn’t work that way, they’ve tried that, aplenty!
Really Homer….. why not use your real name.
#25 pick is Grimes a rotation guy next yr. we get a future top 20 pick from Hornets and a 2nd rd pick from Clippers. While we got a player we wanted. One who can help next yr. Frankly passing on Johnson is a mistake. But I like Grimes. McBride was projected 1st rd pick. Plus we saved money of 1st rd contracts. Which this is what it was about. FA money that starts Monday. Try and keep up. Just remember I wanted Johnson when he balls out.
I know its not official yet but the IND-WAS swap involving Aaron Holiday also sent Anthony Gill and Caleb Homesley to Indiana.
We did briefly have that in our original story, but only one person reported it and it was never confirmed — every other Wizards reporter is acting as if Gill and Homesley are still with the team.
It also doesn’t really make sense to include them unless it’s a standalone trade and their salaries need to be guaranteed for matching. I think it’ll be rolled into the Westbrook deal so that that’s not necessary. We’ll see though!
Isaiah Todd traded from Pacers,
To Pacers?
He was traded to the Pacers on draft night — they’re flipping him to the Wizards in a deal that’s not official yet (once it is, we’ll bump it to the top of the list).
Would you say you’re Pacing yourselves w/r/t the announcement?
Get it?
Not the w/r/t part.
