I was just trying to imagine how Westbrick might fit in during the interim season that we'd all need to suffer through. Wood might qualify as such a "double threat" move. I think were they to do something on the Westbrook front they'd undoubtedly sell it as a move for now.
I know you get it but I don't want anyone accusing me of lusting after Westbrook.
Sometimes you need to take a step back to move forward and honestly, with a few veteran minimums I don't think the fortune of this team changes much. I see us as a 5-8 seed.
Now, I think there is a 1% chance Cuban does this. And an even slimmer chance that you could turn Westbrook into something useful for ONE season. And there is a chance the Lakers might say no but if Kyrie falls through, I kind of doubt they would.
Pulling this off would also be putting a ton of faith in MBT 2.0 turning around their free agency recruiting blunders. It's one of the few path forwards that I see being viable though.
I was going to create a thread for "the case for a Westbrook trade" but I'm far too lazy and have already laid it out. Sorry Dan.
