Quote:Powell + Wright + THJ for Westbrook. Yeah I´d probably do that. Maybe do the math whether a 120/7 stretch waive leaves enough for Giannis just in case, you can´t find a suitable follow-up trade.
I think Westbrook is easier to trade than Powell+Wright. It´s not like we´d want anything back, in case we´d need to clear the room for Giannis. Westbrook would already be in New York, Orlando, Detroit or Charlotte, if Houston was like: You want him, he´s yours. No picks, no players. Just capspace.
@"Mavs2019" I vehemently disagree about the "easy to trade" part. Could be wrong, but I have a feeling Powell will be very movable once he starts playing again. I think Wright is movable right now. (note: in both situations, I'm referring to the type of deal you are, where the goal is simply to remove them, not to win the deal)
More to point, though: are you not worried about what the team would look like in the MEANTIME? I can think of few players in the NBA who would fit worse here than Russell Westbrook, tbh. Didn't we just watch that last year in Houston?
