Yes,now trades Russell Westbrook, New York, Boston Celtics, Orlando, Florida, New Orleans, ššššš
Who cares about Jayson Tatum tbh
Tatum clickbair š¤¦š¾āāļø
Harassment š²š² this people don't give a bit of space, reporter's paparazzi all over him
I dont think russ z a bench player
How much r teams willing to pay beasley
Russell not having a team is a damn shame.
Bucks should pick up Westbrook
This feel like the same s*** they did to Carmelo Anthony to push him out of the league, I feel like melo should still be playing in the league, because what are other players in league doing that melo can't do Don't say one-on-one is in the past because that still goes on in the leaguel
this unreal but i hope he lands a perfect spot around Dec.
Washed up
Anthony Edwards needs a consistent running mate, a secondary scorer who can provide points on a nightly basis. You can't do it on your own and the Timberwolves don't have enough high quality roster depth to compete with the Thunder.
Malika is ac so bad at her job, I could do it better š
She love targeting š
At this point you must just post the whole show her for us with no TVs š ššæ
If Iām Russ Iām trying go East! Boston & Indiana beat up! Knicks are knicks . Bucks with Giannis or Miami with Bam to play fast. If West T Wolves but Then they gotta make another move & for another 3 &D get rid of a guard
Why are the kings the only team
Interested in Westbrook?
Not sure how it ended with the Clippers for Russ but he should go back their with that team get a ring.. Guaranteed
Remain a free agent and come back in the spring ti.e
OKC should pick Russ up as a backup for SGA
Not only will it be sentimental but also it will strengthen their chances of repeating šš
i haven't watched NBA in 7-8 years and is surprised westbrick is still in the league!
These lot played harder here than all star game
There are teams that Still Can use Westbrook because he has a high basketball IQ
Russell's mentality helped him become an MVP and also prevented him from winning a ship
When did Westbrook play with Sabonis?
How does Russ not have a team but Paul George does ? Pg the same guy that plays bad miss games load manage & podcast everytime I see him,even tho Russ still has his bad shots habits but he could still put up great amount of assist & triple double even on bad nights & plays every single game without excuses
Yo, let's talk about this "Black-Balled" situation with Russ, right? It's like, the term itself already sounds like some kinda voodoo curse, doesn't it? You can practically hear the whispers in the barbershop: "Man, they done put the hex on Westbrook!"
And the hate? Whew! It's thicker than grandma's gravy at Thanksgiving. This ain't just basketball criticism; this is pure, unadulterated animosity. You'd think Russ stole their parking spot AND keyed their ride.
Now, I ain't saying Westbrook is perfect. Dude's got more elbows than a geometry convention. But this level of vitriol? It's like they expect him to be Steph Curry with Jordan's mentality and LeBron's PR skills all rolled into one.
And the shooting? Please! Most of these cats in the league couldn't hit water if they fell out of a boat. But Russ misses a jumper, and suddenly he's the reason for global warming.
Then there's the fan interaction. Look, I get it. These guys are paid millions. But put yourself in their shoes for a second. Imagine some dude in the cheap seats yelling about your mama all night. You wouldn't be offering him a hug, would you? You'd probably be doing the Dikembe Mutombo finger wag with a few choice words thrown in.
Nah, man. This ain't about basketball. This is about something else. This is about bias, plain and simple. They see Russ, and they don't see a basketball player. They see a caricature, a walking meme, a scapegoat for all their frustrations. And that, my friends, is some straight-up bullsh*t.
Imagine if Russell Westbrook could like somehow and then headed to Minnesota Timberwolves or some other team could like manage order sign him
