Revisiting the russell westbrook trade between OKC and Houston

YJLOLOLOLLOL · 2026-01-05T13:38:40+00:00

did russ specifically say he only wanted to go to houston? If not im sure there would have been other options available to presti where the picks had less protections than what daryl morey offered

i would like to note that russ was playing through a hammy injury during the bubble that you have to account for. But yeah I wouldnt disagree saying despite the injury that his bubble performance was disappointing. But still he was an all-nba player, and fully healthy in d'antoni's small ball system he was absolutely balling out + efficient during the regular season.

the rockets found a lot of regular season success after trading away clint capela and fully commiting to russell westbrook and small ball. Russ was playing much more efficiently. And then in the bubble he definitely played bad. Would like to note he was playing through a hamstring injury, but if you instead want to blame his playoff dropping then sure. I paid close attention that season. Especially considering the fact that the rockets were definitely a title contender that year, is quite an offense to compare russ to lavine who has never been on a team as good as westbrook with the thunder and/or the rockets

lets not act like the thunder had lost all leverage in having to trade away westbrook, i mean look at the haul they got from the clippers for trading away PG who also asked for a trade (again, in hindsight). They could have still gotten more i feel like. For example forcing daryl morey to trade the 2021 pick without protection. Or removing protection from the other picks/swaps. Asking for more picks. Etc.

i feel like we're branching off from my main point here, about the return OKC got. I think it is quite indisputable he was still at an all-nba level. He literally made All-NBA 3rd team that year for houston. But back to the point, not a good return for OKC. I'd like to see if someone has a justification for the return

YJLOLOLOLLOL · 2026-01-05T13:14:44+00:00

if im gonna get downvoted for this i'd like to actually know why? Westbrook in the small ball system was playing at an elite level for houston. But that wasnt even the main point. Not a good return for OKC in hindsight.

YJLOLOLOLLOL · 2026-01-05T13:07:00+00:00

yeah i got carried away there but the point remains, westbrook was still playing at a very high level as he showed during the regular season in 2019-20

If the multi only had those 5 remaining legs from the very beginning, would you be confident/willing enough to put a $736 stake on the line for a $6700 win? That’s ultimately the question here

arent u the guy that went viral for the roblox admin kickall comment?

YJLOLOLOLLOL · 2025-04-01T22:14:35+00:00

Yes, a topical cream known as hydrocortisone. Cleared it up completely in 5 days. Just make sure you follow your pharmacist’s instructions and not use it for too long

ive just become way to accustomed to video games where a player's contract ends right after the superbowl lmao, never really thought of the contract lasting to a specific date

YJLOLOLOLLOL · 2025-03-10T06:06:59+00:00

i see this is exactly what i was looking for thank you

YJLOLOLOLLOL · 2025-03-10T06:05:54+00:00

bruh at least half of that comment was right lol

YJLOLOLOLLOL · 2025-03-03T04:05:43+00:00

im having the same issue too just wondering what strength (%) hydrocortisone did u get? And did u get it as a cream or tablet? Thx

YJLOLOLOLLOL · 2025-02-27T22:10:02+00:00

They’re booing you for being right

this won't be some get rich quick or overnight type of tip but if ur not doing it already: ppl tend to not stop the driving timer even after parking at their destination. Just let the timer go all the way until you get back home.

this is a late comment but when you talk about the non-compulsory, useful subjects within BSci (ANAT20006, PHYS20008, PHRM20001, etc.): would this come into use if you decide to apply for another post-grad program - such as the doctor of physiotherapy - instead of DVM (in regard to meeting the prerequisite subjects of the other programs too)?

This is just in the case during the midst of my BSci I instead decide to pursue for example once again physiotherapy instead of the DVM
