My guess is that DS is plan C; he try to sign and trade him for Westbrook - I don't think we are in the position to acquire Lowry, CP3, Beal, or Lillard.

Plan A: acquire a super friends guard to play here cheaply for a short 1-2 period, sort of a Rondo 2.0. Espeically if someone like Derozan comes here for the MLE money. A Rubio or George Hill type might be the target.

Plan B: Sign and trade DS

Plan C: Re-sign Dennis and he remains the starter for now.


I want Westbrook.


Of all the available PGs, Westbrook is the absolute worst fit from both an on-court compatibility and financial standpoint.


The guy is a walking triple double. Some people are put off by his attitude on the court, but dude has that fire to him that we haven't had since Kobe.


All the intensity in the world doesn't make up for the fact he's a bad basketball fit. He's an extremely ball dominant PG that adds little to no value off ball. He's a shaky decision maker at best, especially in crunch time. And his contract is ghastly!!


I see your point, but I think people forget just how much we struggled to score towards the end of the season.


You mean the games when Kuzma was our primary playmaker because everyone else was out?

if you put the best NBA execs in a warp machine and transplanted them in Pelinka's position as heading the Lakers, I have no doubt that not a single one of them chooses KCP+Kuz+Trez for Westbrook over Kuz+Trez for Hield with option to still resign Dennis

That's your opinion.


You can't get a player of Westbrook's caliber or talent level for that package and Hield isn't even in the same stratosphere.


Lot easier to find a shooter than an elite scorer/rebounder/passer at the PG position.


90% of GMs draft Best Player Available for a reason. Same reason they'd choose Westbrook over Hield.
