Championship! No lie, Westbrook hs a ton of flaws in his game but I will never say that dude isnt a bulldog.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think this move makes the Lakers contenders. At best, it will help them make the playoffs and then probably get bounced in the first round. Best case scenario, they make it to the semifinals.
As for D Lo, I agree that he isn't amazing... but I think he could make a decent impact next to the right guys, and I think AD and LBJ would take a lot of pressure off of him.

Seems to me that many on here have finally figured out Westbrook isn’t good for team success. I swear many on here were all about him a few years back

Bridges and 4 1sts for a 34 year old who is never healthy. 35, 55, and 39 games so far this year in each of Durant’s last 3. If you’re hardly available, you’re not much use. Suns better hope he’s healthy and in prime form for the playoffs. Not just this season….but the next 3 that he’s signed for at 47, 51, and 54 mil per the next 3 ?

He's aged and lost much of his former ability, and then refuses to believe he has lost it.... so yeah he isn't good for team success... He may have never been, but I would have taken him back in his prime.

If KD stays healthy the rest of the year and wins Phoenix a ship, nothing else matters.Bridges and 4 1sts for a 34 year old who is never healthy. 35, 55, and 39 games so far this year in each of Durant’s last 3.

Even at his age would have been cool to see him a Bull
But if that’s the going price for blockbuster trades now like we saw last offseason bulls should have blown things up. They could have got a killing back in return

Interesting reshape in NBA landscape.
If healthy, Durant makes Phoenix insta-favorites in the West. They got some work to do to climb the standings, but they're not all that far back from #3. Catching Denver may be tough at 8.5 games back.
Brooklyn went from #2 prior to Durant getting injured to probably a lower level playoff team now. I think the players they have acquired for Durant and Kyrie keep them competitive enough to stay in the playoffs. But I would expect them to fall further in the standings.

I've heard rumors that the Raptors were looking to deal OG, but then I see on Twitter that they might be trading for Poetl. It's amazing what one move does to other franchises.
FYI: Bulls cancelled their shootaround.

Supposedly the Poeltl trade is a done deal, though only saying so because Woj announced the trade details

A trade flying under the radar amidst the madness, Knicks traded Cam Reddish and a 1st for Josh Hart. Hart was Brunson's teammate at Villanova so he was pretty stoked.
Decent trade for the Knicks as Reddish was completely in Thibs' doghouse and they get back a player who probably fits Thibs' style while giving them some wing depth they need

Also, the Wolves gave up more for Gobert than the Suns did for KD. Think about that
