Houston has agreed to trade Russell Westbrook to Washington for John Wall and a first-round pick.

Throw up your thoughts.

Do you guys have any idea how quick they will be to update the official rosters? And update Lebron and Luka Doncic’s new contracts for MyNBA?

Houston if wall and cousins stay healthy.

They were both horrible to begin with. Westbrook hasn't done anything special in the playoffs after KD left him. And Wall will never be healthy. lol

The Knicks.


They had cap space and avoided both horrific contracts.

If Wall returns to his 2017 version then Houston by far. Westbrook does not contribute to winning basketball. Period. John Wall can at least say he never played with anyone on the level of a Harden or KD

The 'if this athlete returns to how they were when they were younger and before major injury' hope and dream never ends well for the dreaming team

There is little to no chance Wall will ever reach that level again. The achilles rupture/tear is practically a death nail to a player's career or at the very least their peak. He'll be luck to be 1/3 or half the player he once was athletically.

Which doesn't bode well for a guy who relied a ton on his speed & athleticism to be a (once) great PG. And that is saying nothing about his chronic left knee issues that were already hampering him before he tore his achilles.

I hope I'm wrong cause I like John Wall but history isn't on his side with this one.

Russ avg 27 8 8 on 47% shooting was all nba 3rd team. Has played with 3 different top 3 mvp candidates (so this selfish stop needs to end)
Vs
A guy who played as many games as me over the last 2 years

That’s a hard decision lol

If both remain healthy I think it's a win-win.

Houston if wall and cousins stay healthy.

Even if he's healthy there's no telling what Cousins will look like after the injuries and being off the court for over a year. The last he played he already didn't look like the same player.

Not to be a jerk but it's funny seeing that come from a Nets fan whose team's success is reliant on the health of two players coming off of injuries.
