    Yeah I think I’ve just made peace with the idea that we probably won’t be winning another chip with LeBron. Not because I think this team sucks but there are too many things that need to fall into place for us to win it all. I still hold out hope though because I don’t think anyone expected the 2020 team to be as good as they were, so I’m still open to being surprised.

    The season is all on health and JJ IMO. We go as far as those two factors take us.

    Good, Westbrook can lose a playoff game all by himself for Denver.

    So Denver lost KCP and gained Westbrook lol

    That’s like 2 positives for the Denver matchup now.

    Part of me wants Russ to stay in Utah. This is the 2nd Time he’s been traded to them.

    it MAY be a sign.

    For 2 millions Russ isn't going be a problem and Malone can put him out of misery on bench right away .

    In before Slick to say it’s All going to be good because he’s still got it …. and ignore his midget brain and mis-firing quick twitch muscles at this stage of his career. It’ll be interesting fo sure.

    …. being passed around like a used fill in the blank at this point ….. and LOL Malone and Denver about to be the 3rd team in what .. 3 calendar years to get an up close and personal look at the late career Russell Westbrook experience. Double LOL that he replaces valuable KCP for them like he did for the Lakers.

    But will Denver let Russ be Russ? Better start reinforcing the sides of the backboard just in case.

    Is there a Trophy for “Worst End to a Career Performer?”
    If so, it should just be Russ’ stupid TMNT head on it!
    For a so called future HOFer, I have seen nothing quite like this Zeppelin-esque dumpster fire of a free fall.
    We may never see something quite like this again, so enjoy it while it lasts!

    All time great unwilling/unable to modify his game as he lost athleticism. Sad to see, but glad we are now watching this from afar.

    Weird part is he has legit NBA skills still: he's a good POA defender, good passer, great on the glass, great in transition.
    Unfortunately, he's so pig headed he's still believes in let Russ be Russ. If he modified his game and got rid of all the stupid pull up jumpers and bad shots and be a team player on defense, he would have nice end to his career.
