re: Westbrook may be available

How many superstars have a 3 pt % under 30%??

None

And again, go to my other post and actually READ the 2 articles I posted

KD lied and told him he was returning. KD was ring chasing. That's not on Westbrook. You forget that PG could've bailed on him last season when he was a free agent. Dude could've joined Lebron to play with his hometown and childhood team the Lakers, but he stayed. Was not Westbrook's fault that OKC traded him and PG and Westbrook just said it was all love b/w the 2 of them but continue. Lol y'all seem to forget Westbrook and KD were one round away from being in the championship before getting knocked off by the team KD would later join. And Lebron is on the wrong side of 30, but the difference? At least one of them didn't scare off Kawahi, Kyrie, Paul George, KD, Kemba, Klay, etc all in 2 straight free agencies. Just saying

And to add to that. At least one of them didn't have to have half his team traded to keep up with Golden State. And at least he didn't do OKC what AD did to us. Even if y'all don't agree with anything I'm saying, at least we as Pels fans can agree the way AD went about wanting to leave was wrong


Fyi Lebron at 30 25.3 Ppg 48.8% 6.0 Rpg 7.4 Apg

Westbrook at 30 22.9 Ppg 42% 11.1 Rpg 10.7 Apg. Either way.. those numbers for both are incredible to say they're on the wrong side of 30

What Westbrook was capable of with a Top 5 player at his peak in his prime is hardly relevant today, let alone whether acquiring him makes sense as he is now on the other side of 30.

KD left, Paul George requested a trade two seasons into playing with Westbrook.

Actions speak louder than words. If I break up with my girlfriend to be with someone else, I'm not gonna slam her on the way out either, but make no mistake, I am choosing not to be with you.

I've checked the stats, 50% TS%, the lowest since his sophomore season. 6.2 FTA, the lowest since his sophomore season, 3.4 fouls per game, highest in his career. Drops below his career percentage in FG% and 3P%. Shooting below 40% in both of his recent playoff appearances.

That is not a championship caliber anchor for a team.

You can go on believing that George and KD didn't leave because they didn't think they could win with Westbrook, and that he wasnt grating on them with his playstyle.

You can think Presti wants to move him because he is a fool. That most GM's will require getting assets to take him because they are dumb. The rest of us will live in reality.

Where Westbrook is on the back end of his career making 40 million a year and has not demonstrated in recent years that he can take a team deep into the playoffs even with a 3rd MVP runner up.

This guys arguing that Adams likes Westbrook and doesnt mind giving up his rebounds, which is literally one of his strongest aspects of his game, LOL. Wtf, yeh Adams doesnt like Westbrook either. Big guys love getting boards. Im sure he wouldnt mind grabbing 12 rebs a game instead of 9, getting all star consideration etc. not going to happen with Westbrook though. He could be a 16 and 12 guy instead of a 13 and 9 guy. He would put up better stats on another team, but he defers to his stat chasing teammate because he has to. And not for the sake of wins either.

Word on the street was that PG wanted out. Teams knew it and went for him. Now PG is traded - it was known before Kawhi recruited him that he wanted out.


Actually Westbrook also had Victor Oladipo. So thats two MVP’s and two all stars he ran off.

I challenge you to find me a superstar with worse 3 pt % not named Giannis who just started shooting them

And apparently you didnt read them because you're still trying to argue the rebounding stat when it proves in the article he plays no defense and his rebound stats are inflated due to others boxing out so he can get them

Forogt about that as well.

I just said that doesn't matter to my point, did I not? And did you not read my post? I asked if 30's to lower 40 was any better, did I not? And obviously you didn't read into what I was saying about the rebounding.

You literally ignored the other 8 years of stats talking about his shooting percentages comparing only this year to last year. Dude stop being a clown.

Then you argued that his team doesnt pad his rebounding stats by letting him snag rebounds then posted a quote where steve adams says they let him get rebounds. Why dont you look up what Carmelo said about it?

And also, say what you want succinctly. No one is going to read your rambling posts of vomit. Lol.

Also, are you asking if there’s a big diff between 40% from 3 and low 30%???????

Get the frick out of here! Is this real?

In short, yes there is a huge difference, since 40% is considered elite, and 30% is considered trash!

Wtf! Cant respond to you anymore dude wow. Just wow.

Stats are deceiving and are not evidence of team fit.

Westbrook is not a winner, as evidenced by zero rings, despite having multiple mvp candidates and multiple future HOFers surrounding him.
