    To be fair to Rob, that trade was all Lebron and AD.

    Lebron and AD can't make trades. I noticed that nobody claims, that the AD trade was all Lebron either.

    Well they pushed that one through for Russ. With their cachet from having delivered a championship a year and a half earlier. Rob had Buddy Hield all lined up and Kuz thought he was headed to Sacramento. Of course you can "claim" it was all Pelinka. Magic and LeBron undoubtedly had AD in their sights once he got here, if not before.

    Yeah, we can go round and round on this forever, BUT it’s Rob’s job not to make trades that remove any possibility of the Franchise competing for a Championship for multiple seasons going forward.
    He could have said “no.”

    Buddy Hield for Kuz and Trez was another terrible idea LT. Supposedly Rob came up with that one, all on his own. Who was going to play PG? You guys keep forgetting that he let Dennis walk for nothing, and we were over the salary cap. So Caruso was still going to be let go, and we were going to have two SG, and Lebron with Tucker. That was a dumb idea too.

    Buddy was 100 times a better fit than Kuz, made sense at the time

    Nonsense. Buddy Hield isn't a PG..see above.

    Well Westbrick sure as **** wasn't the answer, especially as a starter for the Lakers OR the Clippers with where his game had deteriorated to by the time we got him. Whether LeBron or AD played together all the games or a small per cent of them. Lue came to the same conclusion real quick. So yeah that colossal screw up was predominantly on LeBron and AD for their pressure to do the deal.

    More nonsense. We weren’t winning Jack with Lebron and AD missing that much time period. If they missed that much time now, we'd be worse than Washington today, and there wouldn't be a Westbrook around to blame it on.
    Looks like Jokic, has a different opinion, of just how washed up, or deteriorated Westbrook's game is. I guess how you are used, makes a difference. Flippers had George and Harden, it's hard to see what exactly you thought Westbrook was supposed to do there.

    Joker likes horses, Westbrook is a horses a**, hence the attraction. :LLLLLebronlaughing:

    Edit:just noticed this was the Reaves thread. We need another HIM game tonight to stand any chance of beating the C Bags.

    Best contract in the league: please use it while you still have AD/Lebron like NFL team use a rookie QB contract and stack the team up

    annual reminder that anyone that comes calling for reaves in a trade better have an all nba player in his prime on their end of the phone.
