Look I’ve read every word on the internet and dark web. I have visited Best Buy… met with @bigmike… and done a podcast with Monty… last night I was visited by the rally churro and it spoke to me… here is what I know…

- we will trade for Westbrook
- we trade Don and RJ ends up coming back
- Stanley Johnson goes to the Knicks
- we end up with two lotto picks next year
- birds are not real

You also forget that our planet is flat. Which also explain why Rudy can't shoot.
 
The Jazz have the best offer and should have the most motivation to be a WB trade partner. It's like NYK with Mitchell....when the most motivated team also has the best offer it feels inevitable.
 
Price goes up, not down, if Westbrook is being added to the equation. So, 7 picks instead of 5.

All this really does is add another set of eyes staring across the table at the Knicks to get the deal done. New York is going to drop a sh!+-ton on this deal no matter what the equation is, no matter what anyone thinks.

Roster-wise, we don’t have a lot of room. Just give us the picks.

We will be fine. Just can’t take back more than we send out but that’s where the Lakers come in. We send 2 or 3 for 1 to them for Westbrook who we buy out and it makes room for the players we take back from the Knicks.
 
The absolute best iteration of this I can think of works salary wise and roster wise for every team:

Jazz out: Donovan Mitchell, Bojan Bogdanovic and Malik Beasley

Jazz in: Russell Westbrook (buy-out), Obi Toppin, Immanuel Quickley, Derrick Rose

Knicks out: Obi Toppin, Immaunuel Quickley, Derrick Rose, Cam Reddish

Knicks in: Donovan Mitchell

Lakers out: Russell Westbrook

Lakers in: Bojan Bogdanovic, Malik Beasley, Cam Reddish

We also end up with these picks:

2023 Knicks 1st
2023 Dallas 1st (top-10 protected)
2023 Detroit 1st (top-18 protected)
2025 Knicks 1st
2025 Milwaukee 1st (top-4 protected)
2027 Knicks 1st
2027 Lakers 1st
2029 Lakers 1st

Maybe a pick swap or two from the Knicks as well or if the Lakers would rather give their 2028 1st with a pick swap in 27/29 or something. You can also swap out Quickley for Grimes or Beasley for Clarkson and it will still work.
