If we use the cap room next off season, we will have the full 67M to work with before signing Pascal but if we save it for 2020 we will only have 42M because of Pascals new contract.
I am Team Westbrook. You don’t always have a top 3 PG and MVP just available for pennies on the dollar like right now.
We could contend for 4-5 more years with this move

We ain't going the Westbrook route.
available for pennies on the dollar
You make it sound like OKC will just part with him for nothing lol they won't. They'll want a haul.
Exactly, in what world is OKC just giving away Russ? They are going to one a package like PG13's, obviously they wont get nearly that much but I feel like people seem to think OKC is just going to dump Russ for nothing.
Of course they won't. Won't be a fire sale but they are motivated to move him to somewhere that will take his contract... Their haul will depend on how many teams are interested and willing to give up.
An expiring contact is incredibly valuable to them. Their cap is so screwed.
You don’t always have a top 3 PG
He's better than Steph, Dame or Kyrie or even Kemba?
His game has fallen off a cliff the past 2 seasons and not to forget his shot selection is abysmal and his 3 point shooting is 29% in the last 2 seasons. If he could space the floor well and maybe shoot 35% from three (he won't as that only almost happened in 2016-2017 -> 34%)
Kemba yes, I'd take him over Kyrie at the moment
It's not even the percentages it's the quality of looks.
Russ is in his own head. I think a change of scenery would be good for him. He was an MVP if you go back 3 years.
If he's available at the right price I'd do it. If not, meh
Pretty sure if we subbed in Westbrook for Lowry in our season last year than we don't win the chip.
He’s better than Kyrie and Kemba. Let’s be real.
Easily.. People overrate Kyrie so much
He’s 100% better than everyone except Steph.
Don’t be dumb
You're talking about a guy who shot 38%, 40%, 36% in his last 3 playoffs lol. He is not the MVP Westbrook that you're clinging on to
having big stats while losing games doesn't make him better...
Are we gonna look at that OKC roster?
couldn't win with PG on one shoulder, Steven Adams and a few tomato cans.
KD is equally at fault for when they lost in their playoffs. Dude chucked them out of games 6 and 7 then dipped.
BIG FAT CANADIAN NO! NOT SORRY
We could contend for 4-5 more years with this move
I don't remember the thunder being in contention in the recent few years...
westbrook would be so great on this team if it was a videogame. unfortunately its not.
You are assuming our team will want to play with Westbrook. It I'm not sure if Russ is on board with this new ball sharing thing that the winning teams are doing. Also it seems like someone like him won't jive well with a coach like NN.
You like to make alot of these Westbrook posts. I'm willing to bet my next month of salary that Masai won't go this route.

Only way they should trade for Westbrook is if the Raptors get back all those Clipper picks as well
Let’s not trade for Westbrook.

On the age thing, I'd argue he can still be great at 33-34. He's a freak athlete like Lebron, having never really suffered any kind of injury. It wouldn't surprise me if he plays until 38.
I agree with everything else though, except maybe him being overpaid. He's definitely a top 10 player, he deserves the max he was given.
I’ll agree with you that maybe he deserves the max, but supermax...I don’t like the concept. He’s borderline top 10 in my opinion, and I think he’s only going to downhill shooting wise.
I’d just rather have someone else for that kind of money. Or multiple other people.
