Russell Westbrook remains unsigned by any NBA team and is now reportedly considering signing with an Israeli league team. IMO that's a waste of his talents. I would actually welcome him here; he would be a decent PG option alongside Book and the others. I know he carries his downsides, but I think he's matured as a player and person from the guy I used to strongly dislike. And at a minimum/cheap contract I don't think the downside would be very significant. I know it'll never happen, but I wish we would reach out to him.

I've always been a Westbrook fan. I love how hard he plays, he's a hard worker, and he's a fantastic role model for young players. For the most part, his teammates seemed to have loved him. Sure, he's not a great shooter, but I want him passing it to Booker, Green, Brooks, etc.... anyways.

If we can move Green somewhere then sure…I don’t see how we’d have minutes for everyone though.

I will NEVER understand the grill thing. I don't even like wearing a clench guard at night. So I don't.

Aaaaaand he retired. Russ has taken a lot of shit in his career (including from me), but he's an unforgettable player who put up gaudy stats for almost two decades. Congrats to him on a great career. I think he had more to give, but if he thinks it's time, it's time.

Kushners are parasites. Good for the Lakers.

No, the rights the the actual sound. Like "Do Ray Me Fa So LA Tee Do" If you say it out loud now, you have to pay royalties to Iger.

Classy move:

Basketball Ground@BBallGround

The Oklahoma City Thunder are planning to sign Russell Westbrook to a one day contract next season, allowing him to play one final home game in a Thunder jersey and finish his career where it all started.

That had to have been a handshake deal prior to last season.
