I like this messaging a little bit better. Seems less like signing both, more like a discussion of a potential role on the team for one of them, and we are doing our due diligence.

From fox and haliburton to fox to basketball hell featuring westbrick and Schroeder

I still don't understand why Dennis "requires" the full MLE. I don't think he got the full MLE with his last deal.

He did get the full MLE last time but I agree, they should be pushing hard for less given the free agent landscape

I saw it started at 12.5 million and I guess I could have sworn MLE was closer to the 14 it is today than that.

Dude has been traded five times and changed teams as a free agent three times (going on four) in the last five years, and he wants the full MLE? Seems like he's worn out his welcome everywhere he's been.

Here is what the mle schedule looks like for the next several years

Lasted two months with GSW

I mean, if we're tanking next season I like the Westbrook fit

 

[reptilexcq2]

I don't know man...Westbrook is dangerous but he's so erratic and taking ill advise shots can hurt the team. You don't know what to expect from him. He may help you and he may hurt you. IF the Kings sign him, then they don't need Schroder. Westbrook is better off if he play as a true PG and get to handle the ball a majority of the time like he did in OKC. But once he got traded to other teams, it seems like he's been playing different roles trying to fit with a particular team. Maybe giving him the key to the team will make him more effective like he did with OKC back in the days?

I gotta admit, I’m excited to root for the guy even if he drives fans nuts on the regular

Russketball is at the very least never boring.

As the roster stands right now……. Who are we better than?

I hate Westbrook’s everything on the court. But I hate the current version of our team, so this is perfect!

 

[AaronPDX]

This is going to be an effing disaster.

The Washington

Spoiler

Generals

So... Schroder and Westbrook. They're 31 and 36 years old, respectively. If Monk is outgoing in all of this backcourt shuffling, that's a 27 year old talent gone. And if Carter's minutes are meaningfully suppressed, that's a 23 year old talent wasted. What the hell are we doing here?

Probably over half of the lEastern conference teams.

We're 10th in the West tops though.

Making next season completely UNwatchable....at a minimum.
