Russell Westbrook, Yay or Nay?

[rjfan]

Westbrook isn't a chip winning player, but he still had winning impact at the Wizards. He was terrible at the Lakers, but within our group that actually has shooters, i believe he could play closer to the level he was before (not close to his mvp days, but starter pg level of fringe playoff teams)

More keen on dropping to a somewhat 6th pick, but wouldn't be opposite to help him recoup some of his image, especially If that helped on how the Jazz is viewed across the league

I just want him to play to see it. One of those players who you could never really imagine being a Jazz player. The Jazz just don't get former MVPs on their team

I want him to play 1 game so I can get each jersey style with his name. Gotta be worth something down the road.

 

[PresidioTrojan]

I’m a yes. Want to see him put up 35 on 11/57 shooting.

this vs. lakers

then him dunking over lebron would be awesome

I'm actually interested in how it plays out if RW decides to play for the Jazz. Let him play, and if it turns out sour let him sit out the rest. There aren't that many games left anyway.

I really hope Westbrook stays and redeems himself.

I’ve never been a fan on his

But the so called issues he has had with Utah and the crowds over the years , I’d like him to come in and see for himself , win them over, do some work in the community, play hard .

We ain’t winning anything anytime soon , let him play , he really isn’t going to take to much time off others , and the last 2 on the bench , well they really haven’t played any quality minutes thus far , it’s not happening any time soon

 

[Jazz Spazz]

This is the dumbest question ever, of course we don’t want him here. We don’t want wins, yes he’s a spaz and will help lose some games, but he will win us games too. And then there’s the chemistry **** as well. There’s no ****ing reason to even have this convo.

I can’t vote because I want to vote for the last two options and can’t, so put me down for those two.

No need to be offensive, I still read these threads. Are you trying to force me onto the WB side of this discussion, because I’ll do it after this slander. Spaz does not equal losing. Take it back.

No damnit!! He’s the spaziest spaz there ever was. LeBron James cosigned.

Well then… I hope he plays, gets triple doubles the rest of the season, is a model citizen, repairs his reputation, we make the playoffs and lose in the first round and miss out on the wemby sweepstakes and live in mediocrity for the next 10 years… know it will all be your fault for doubling down and not taking it back.

Westbrook, come out to plaaaay! Westbrook, come out to playaaaay! Westbroooook….

You Masochist!! Lol

What is this? Beetlejuice? Say his name three times and he shows up?

I don't think they can "bribe" us with a second rounder. At this point, especially since the deadline has passed. I do think that if Westbrook was desperate enough the buyout could come in at a much lower number, say $35-$40 million, as opposed to the full $47-$48 million

The Jazz don't owe $47 million. An NBA player gets paid twice a month, so a a lot of the contract has already been paid. I don't remember the exact amount owed but it is in the $16-20 million range
