With regards to them being a playoff contender, with their current roster I don't think so unless WB and Beal will be a good duo like AD-LBJ that they can carry the team as a whole.

Westbrook never had an effective duo, when he paired with, they were almost perfect but in reality they don't really have a good chemistry, that's why Durant wants out of OKC because he believe with Westbrook they will never win a championship. We also see Westbrook and PG tandem, it doesn't work because westbrook had an awful shooting percentage and bad decision making, same with Harden Tandem, so I don't really expect here.

Westbrook is good if he is the one who will just score, but then what would it lead to the team?

Thank you.
No disrespect to WB but I think that is how I will stretch it too. Grin

He had never been a good partner and he ain't a wingman too. He's good, there's no doubt about that but there is always something lacking in him.
A good center or a forward maybe a good choice to mix with him. But another point guard? Argh. I don't know.

Yeah, let's just see where this will go when the game starts.
I hope there is a betting line on how bad decisions are with all these trades.
Like, if the Wizards will have a 0-20 record then I win. Grin

The Lakers fans got another good news, and one more player has a huge contract. Anthony Davis decided to stay with the Lakers, and he is going to sign a maximum contract with them today. So, he will earn $190 mln for five years.

Lakers VS Mavs would be the main highlight for this one as mentioned.

Nice thanks for those links.

It's no longer a rumor and we will see those matches on Christmas day. This is even greater than a bonus.

Well yes, these two players are unstoppable but then they need more strong players if they wanted to win in championship league. If this is the only trade they will going to make still they could not beat the lakers with good players in that team. Lebron still be one of the difficult players to match with. This guy is already an epic or legend in playing basketball and never it happen that Lebron had had no show up in championship finals since they became champion when he was playing in Miami Team.

What they need is a legit big man, they should stop playing small ball, Lakers will eat them alive, even the Nuggets will crush them.
In their line up, https://www.nba.com/rockets/roster

They only have 2 legit center, Chandler and Cousins, but hey! cousins could go down anytime, and Chandler is also not getting any younger.

They need to fill that big HOLE.

I couldn't agree more, they were doing good during the regular season with their small ball play but they were expose in the playoffs, most especially when they meet the Lakers where they only won 1 game, so I think not acquiring big man is a good solution, hopefully more big man will come on board in the team.

Just in: Washington Wizards John Wall and a first-round pick was traded to Rockets for Russell Westbrook. Seems a fine trade let's see what they gonna build this time for the Rockets after that worst trade we see last season.

https://dknation.draftkings.com/2020/12/2/22149403/russell-westbrook-john-wall-trade-rockets-wizards-nba-rumors-news-report

What!!!?
That's a bad trade in my opinion.
I don't know what the Wizards management is thinking about making this kind of decision.
Could they see the future that Wall might get injured again? Grin

So they'd rather take a non-prime WB than taking risk of another year of injury.
WB and Beal? Hmmm. I don't know if it will work. Harden and WB didn't work and it's almost the same.

For me, we ca identify if the trade is good or bad if the season already started, if john wall become healthy wherein he already not experiencing any injury then it is a good trade for Rockets because we all know that John wall is one of the best point guard because of his skills, athleticism and speed. There is also first round pick for the rockets and the Wizards only get one player which is westbrook. We all know that westbrook is a strong player but they do not have chemistry with harden and for me it is the reason why westbrook do not want to play again in rockets.

In my opinion, the Rockets won the trade and will benefit from it in this upcoming season. as soon as we see Wall and Harden combination in the 2021 NBA season, we will see another playoff competitor teams and these two are really unstoppable on the court especially James Harden and now they also have John Wall.

I believe this is like a CP3 and Harden duo, but Wall is better than CP3 IMO, so I guess both players will benefit from each other. CP3 should bring the ball here and act like a PG, don't let Harden bring the ball and just do a one on one, otherwise, Wall's talent will not be maximize.

I'll just bite my tounge this time around as I can't tell what could really be the outcome or if there's synergy on both of them, we'll see that once the new season starts. This time Harden will never leave the Rockets, I assume that will be the case.

When I saw the "Blockbuster" trade between the Wizards and the Rockets, I taught which team really won the trade.

In the part of the Rockets, we know that Wall didn't played for 2 years because of his injury so this is a huge risk for them as he can get easily injured again but high reward since we know how good Wall is especially in creating shots. High risk = high reward but if Wall will not get injured this upcoming season, they will get a very huge reward for it and might be a playoff contender once again.

In the part of the Wizards though, I don't know how will Westbrook and Beal will synergize with each other. Westbrook is good at isolations while Beal is a scorer. I just don't know how will be their performance when the season will come but its too early to say. With regards to them being a playoff contender, with their current roster I don't think so unless WB and Beal will be a good duo like AD-LBJ that they can carry the team as a whole.

Hopefully good for both sides, this is the first time that wall will play with a legit superstar and his ability of a PG is really admirable, so I hope for the success of the Rockets here, a Wall and Harden, hopefully this will work so Harden would just stay with the Rockets.

So the rumor now becomes official. Good news by Westbrook as he really wants to get out of the Rockets.

Also, a good trade by the Wizards in terms of their "future goals" as John Wall might not be the John Wall they used to because of the serious injuries he dealt before. Westbrook on the other hand is still quick and athletic at his age and can even do stat-padding which difficult to do lol.

And by how we see the competition in the East, Westbrook might help the team to get back in the playoffs.

Definitely, I would say it will benefit more on the part of WB to be in the East and the "franchise" for Washington. He thrives in this situation, wherein he will be the main point man of the team, just like what happened when KD left for GSW.

Perhaps they can content to reach the playoffs but will face tougher teams obviously and won't get past the first round, I reckon.

It wasn't westbrook who voluntarily is going to the wizards. As a player if you get traded and are under a contract you have no say of where you are going. I'm sure westbrook didn't want to land on the wizards. With that being said if wall can come back and play like his old self and stay healthy, this will be a great deal for the rockets who will also get a "probably" high first round draft pick.

Rumors;
The Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets each had high hopes for the 2020-21 NBA season earlier in the offseason. Since then, Klay Thompson has been ruled out due to a season-ending injury— leaving Stephen Curry as the sole active member of the “Splash Brothers.” Meanwhile, both James Harden and Russell Westbrook want to be traded.

If this trade will come into reality, what does it make the Warriors?

I dont see that as a reality. Wizards should get young players and pay them to gain experiences s when next year add Kay they go for playoffs. To trade their future fro a star that will retire in few years seems very bad. Westbrook will go to a team that will compete for championship.

You mean warriors bro, Wizards have John Wall and they are not a championship contender kind of a team.
Klay has a successful operation but no assurance that he will be healthy by next season or no assurance the will be reinjured again.

Now, let's talk about the current situation, warriors have no Thompson, or someone with playoffs experience like Curry, but if WB will be traded to the team then it could increase the value of GSW to win an NBA championship.

Ha. LOL I mistakenly wrote wizards instead of warriors, but it seems Russell was reading this thread and did what I said:P Well is bad decision fro him, but I guess he just wanted to go out of Huston.

What I am wondering is in what shape will be teams that were in finals or payed conference finals since their players had very little time off. I would expect them to start training very late.

Late or not for a training a real talent or a determinated player in the game will not make that as an excuse. I think that's the new normal NBA put them in as well and they should endure it this time around.

We will already see for Christmas how they will plan their training's. I would not be surprised if first squad would not pay much. But on the other hand Christmass games a not only NBA prime time but a sport prime time. People will want to see Luka vs Lebron in their best shape and form.

LeBron James just signed 2 year deal with Lakers, they can sleep relaxed now.

He will get 85 million USD for 2 years. This is the most important deal for Lakers, they want to hold onto their best player and they achieved that. Now they should sign other all around players and veterans to stay as a championship contender team.

We already know that he will stay, but this is good as it's a confirmation that he would stay for at least 2 years and that means 2 season of championship if his team will continue to dominate in the NBA. He deserved that amount, or even more with his skills and leadership.

Wondering on what would be the next team on where He would hop in when he already bring Lakers to the peak just like into those former teams that he had joined. 2 years isnt really bad though and when it comes to
pay then there's no doubt on how much they would be putting on yet it would be definitely a worth to spend or give on in Lebrons caliber.

Honestly, I don't think Lebron will still find a new team after this, he already had the salary he expected and he is not getting any younger. It's 2 years, a lot of things could happen although we hope for his best, but injuries and other factors is possible, so hopefully he will continue to dominate and lead the team, probably a back to back championship or even a 3 peat.
