I don’t get why Brooklyn front office thought everything would be normal after that offseason, and pretend like two major trade requests didn’t happen. They should have been dealt long ago. They’re both great individual players but no team can overcome that shit
Kinda similar to Los Angeles situation. There were (and still are) Westbrook deals out there. You’re gonna be able to navigate a gray cap situation better than most and probably stumble into decent luck — you’re the fucking Lakers after all. There’s no pro to keeping him. The reason why you didn’t trade him — I don’t know , other than Marvin Ham thinking he’s the guy who is going to somehow fix him and Pelinka being the total stooge he is thinking that’s good enough to keep him
