Think about what CP3 got us.
EG, who had just come off a healthy year scoring 22ppg and was only 22 years old. Closest thing to that is Jrue now, and as crazy as it sounds, EG was worth a lot more then than Jrue is now.
Kaman, who was a decent enough 5. Ajinca comparison sort of, although Kaman is probably a good bit better.
Aminu, who was the 8th overall pick the year before, who was very young and raw, but didn't look that great yet. I guess you could call Buddy this, although Buddy now is probalby worth more than Aminu was after his 1st season.
Top 10 pick from Minnesota (Austin Rivers ). Our first next year.
So to compare it to CP3's trade, Jrue/Buddy/Ajinca and next years first for 1 year of Westbrook.
Clippers got 2 years of CP3 before he became a FA.
To say you wouldn't take Westbrook for a year with AD is just silly. The only piece we have outside of AD that has any real future is Buddy, and i'd trade Buddy's potential, even though i'm probably his biggest fan here, for a year of Westbrook, knowing he might leave us after that year.
Westbrook
Moore/Qpon
Hill
AD
Doofus
That is easily a playoff team, and if they have the cap space after the year, after making a good showing, maybe it becomes a lot easier to get a guy like Gordon Hayward to come here to team up with Westbrook and AD. If you can see Hill play that small ball 4 well this year, and then you have a lineup of
Westbrook
Moore/Qpon
Hayward
Hill
AD
That's a championship level team right there, assuming Hill and Moore are worth a shite.

I agree and if you would have any chance of signing him long term having for a year to get used to Nola and playing with AD would be the only way

Paul had a player option so it was only 1 year they were technically trading for in negotiations. And if Russ says that the only place he wants to play is New Orleans and we can get a sweet deal like the Clippers did, then that is awesome, but it's not happening. BOS And LAL both will outbid us to get his bird rights. Lots of teams will be bidding.
