Could you / would you parlay Westbrook?

Clock is ticking.

If we trade for Simmons and get compensation, we theoretically have acquired the assets to dump him at any time or close to it. That could always change with the market, but going forward there are more teams with cap space meaning more teams willing to take him in a salary dump. But every year we have him, his negative value as a contract gets less even if he doesn't improve as a player. For example, we eat the cost next year, meaning we can't use the cap space....but the following year his contract is less negative and if we wanted to dump him it should take less value than what we got him for. We've gained value in that process, albeit at the loss of our cap space. If he actually improves as a player, we've obviously gained even more value. Cap space only matters if we use it, and we can always trade him if we need to use it.

Not to mention, a perennial ROY candidate!

I'm one sick puppy but I would like to see Westbrook play for the Jazz. Right now our talent is subpar and the guy would be entertaining and might actually give boy wonder some grey hairs.

We should’ve traded for Simmons and if it didn’t work out trade him to Minnesota for Gobert to loosen protections on picks.

Its pretty wild. WB has been traded every year of his 5 yr contract. I dont know how you don't look in the mirror after watching that occur. Has to mess with your mind going from Lebrons guy to being the fall guy.
