AROUND the NBA: Pat Bev Suspended 4 Games Next Season| PHX Fires Vogel

[Mavs2021]

Westbrook does get a bad rap. I think I would’ve preferred a deal where we ate his $ and received assets rather than what we wound up doing.

Don´t even need assets. Just give them THJ, Bertans, Powell and McGee and you make out like bandits. Westbrook was treated like he had Ebola by the Klutch controlled media. It was a damn expiring contract. You´d rather pay THJ, Bertans and McGee for another two years than get off all the bad money in one swoop. Westbrook would have been a great pick-up just to show Luka some leadership. But exchanging trash for an expiring contract is beneath Cuban. Even if it was offered/discussed, he´d have turned it down immediately due to thinking THJ is better than Westbrook.
