Reports Boston offered #3 plus 1 from next year and they balked so clearly knicks didn't want to move him because that's crazy value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not what he needs to do but he thinks he's better than he actually is I disagree but it is what it is. The only players better than Westbrook in the league IMO are LeBron, Durant, Curry. Westbrook is my #4 and he deserves MVP this season by averaging a TDB. Leonard has an argument to being better but if you put Leonard on OKC (take Westbrook off) I am not sure they even win 47 games like OKC did this season. Westbrook is better than Harden as well IMO.

TJ is a future rotational guy...he actually fits better for Boston or San Antonio than us...maybe he will be on the move. We have one stretch big we don't need an undersized stretch 4.

aReggie7 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I'm just not a fan of the Leaf pick. I don't think he is dynamic enough offensively to make up for his defensive issues. I think he has had some injury problems though maybe not as bad as OG. I just can't find myself getting excited about guys who are liabilities on defense. Certainly not first round picks.
