No Superstar wants to Play with Westbrook
 

PG requested to be traded to the Clippers to play with Kawhi. Westbrook gonna average triple double being a lottery pick. OKC should trade him to the Knicks for draft picks and rebuild and hope they find again the next Harden and Durant

As ninja said earlier who wants to take that salary

The Knicks trading for Westbrook is a total Knick move.

They should do it.

Russ will be fine. PG was awesome to have but they still didn't get past Utah or Portland. It is what it is - he's the Mike Trout of the NBA (with more grrrr and rambunctiousness).

KD pusses out to join the already great Warriors. PG (if he really did want the trade), jumps ship with the most recent NBA finals MVP and 2-time champion. Notice a trend? That's not wanting to play with Russ, those are roads to easier championship chances. Nothing honorable about either move. Again, only if PG requested the trade. If he got traded without his go ahead, then you would be right. Otherwise, it's simply a dumb statement.

Or... do they want to play basketball the right way?

Look how Oladipo and Sabonis thrived once they got away from Russ.

Russ doesn't want to play the right way and Billy Donovan is happy being an NBA coach with no expectations... so he ain't gonna say a word.

We have Lakers, Clippers, Jazz, Nuggets, Warriors, Spurs, Blazers and Rockets as a top 8 I'm guessing... that doesn't leave any playoff spots for the Thunder.

Russ is gonna average 40-15-15 on 50 shots a game, 30% shooting and 10 turnovers per game.

Do I think Russell Westbrook is the best player in the NBA? Probably not, but no other NBA Star plays harder.

Would I teach my son to hustle like any other player in the NBA? No

Ask Michael Jordan who he thinks the best player in the NBA Is? His answer is Westbrook because he plays 110% the entire game....

It doesnt matter if you agree with his decision making nobody plays harder. Calling him a ball hog or whatever you want is foolish. He passes more per Possession then anybody even close to his level or scoring.

Maybe if Thunder got a few players who wanted to plays as hard with Westbrook it would help. Durant is a Diva, George is good on both ends, but clearly stands in the corner and takes plays off.

I will continue to support a NBA Player who clearly a once in a generation talent/drive athlete who give it all on the court.

I will not support awful one ended plays like James Harden. I dont even want my kid see him play half the game of basketball..

I will never understand somebody who knocks down a guy for playing hard, maybe he doesnt have the best shot or decision making, but when you favorite players is standing in the corner take a play off... Westbrook is ballin

Even the biggest Westbrook homers know he's a ballhog. Do you want your kid to see him bully a journalist for simply doing his job? Or does it just matter that he plays hard?

So much lulz coming from a Draymond fan. :doh:

If any athlete has problem with any member of the media or acts out against them I couldn't care less. You don't live there life of dealing with that everyday. If they break the law then its problem.

I live in Vermont and im not a Thunder fan. I just like players who have drive and play hard....

seems okc tried to trade pg and westbrook to raptors but raptors didnt give in?

Word is they’re shopping Adams too

okc trying to rebuild and wants to get the next durant, harden and
ibaka...

Nobody wants to play with a ballhog....same reason nobody besides AD wanted to team up with LeBron.

He’s not a superstar though

Ok...ball-dominant...

Horrible take.

a) PG wanted to play with someone better than Westbrook. Like Kawhi.
b) PG wanted to play in LA. Like the Clippers do.

He could have gone to the Lakers a year ago to play with lebron

I really am excited this worked out the way it did. This will be an exciting season.

[QUOTE=elee712;14825761]He could have gone to the Lakers a year ago to play with lebron[/QUOTE]

That could have simply meant he prefers playing with Westbrook than with LeBron

i am way in this corner, especially with todays nba divas. Westbrook wants to ball out, tries to ball out, gives every ounce of heart, and doesnt care if anybody has opinions. His purpose is to distribute , make his team better, and try to dominate with his assets--i have no problem at all with that. PG did just fine with RW, get westbrook more ballers too. Hes not jumping from team to team ......

Are you kidding me...bully and Westbrook should never be mentioned in the same sentence. Bully, #@#@#@#@#@#@#@, & Draymond now those are synonyms.

Westbrook seems like that really petty coworker everyone cannot stand, but he is really good at his job

Nah, Westbrook screwing with a reporter is far more unsportsmanlike than Draymond kicking everyone in the balls. That’s a stand up guy.
