I think people who pay attention enough realized nobody was beating the Lakers in the bubble. Russ played like crap but I didn't hear a lot about him being blamed (scapegoat). Must have been internally.

He was made a scapegoat by the Lakers refusing to guard him.

I don't think Wall is nearly the player Westbrook is, on the whole. However, Westbrook was an absolute liability in the playoffs. If Westbrook were a younger player and inexperienced, okay you get a pass. He's a former MVP and been in the league 10+ years, you gotta be earn your money when it matters.

Maybe Wall won't help win as many games during the regular season, but he will at least require teams in the playoffs to guard him. We should be building the team with respect to how it'll help us in the post-season. Westbrook is just not a post-season guy.

Wall is a better fit next to harden, just because he can shoot at least close to a leave average 3. No more of that garbage sag off westbrook to double harden crap

Harden played great against the warriors in 2019. The rest of the team was useless

Stop right there. John Wall is not a 3 point shooter and has never been regarded as one.

Some of y'all are remembering Wall from 5+ years ago

In fact, I would go as far to say that John Wall is almost universally known as a bad 3 point shooter.

When you don't know what you're talking about.

Russ was historically bad from 3 last season, Wall can't be worse than that.

He was historically bad on any jump shot.

Gun to your head, and a made 3 pointer saves your life, who are you choosing to shoot between:

1. John Wall
2. Russ
3. Me

No one is arguing that Russ is a good 3 point shooter, including me.

$45M/year means you do what you want. This is why James isn't a number 1 that can lead to a championship.

You gotta love this new culture of the NBA. Run away from your issues and into the arms of a super team.

Honestly? Eat his contract and bench him for the remaining two years. Waste out a couple years of his prime the way he's wasting our time.

**** this guy. Never soured on a star so fast. Even if he changes his mind about staying, I'll never root for him.

Get Ben Simmons and a few picks to make the fans happy (even though the picks won't amount to much).

Harden is pretty much screwed here. Tilman might be cheap but he knows he has the power w/ Harden under contract. That leaves James in a S.O.L. situation. He can either (a) report and make the best of it OR (b) sit out and ruin his legacy. We aren't going to trade him for peanuts. If a great deal presents itself that you just absolutely cannot turn down for a disgruntled superstar then you take it. If not, **** it, your move Harden....

Problem is there aren't many suitors that can make it work....

What a **** situation

Not right now, but just wait. A player like James doesn't really lose value if he doesn't play. Eventually someone will be desperate and you can get something slightly more fair than if you panic traded him (See Hopkins/Texans).
