Inshallah
We know, you're a big fan of Lebron and are very familiar with him.
But somehow I think an old guy having a knee flareup is a more likely explanation than an evil plot to make the Lakers look bad.
Why wait until after next season when you can come off all that money (minus Westbrook's buyout) and get a 1st out of the deal NOW?
You end up paying out less salary overall and have more flexibility this summer instead of next.
ITS NOT AN “EVIL PLOT” ITS JUST TYPICAL “ALL ABOUT ME” BEHAVIOR ROOTED IN SELFISHNESS - THERES A HISTORY OF THIS WITH YOUR ROLE MODEL.

Because they don't come up off money unless Westbrook takes significantly less to go away. Again, everyone of those deals can expire at the same time. They're not saving money. In this deal, all Houston gets is an extra first rounder and an extra $47 mil of dead space. They gain no space this summer (as if they'd want it anyway) and they gain the same space next summer by doing nothing, so your deal is pretty much Wood for a first rounder 5 years from now.
Yes, the deal only gets done if Westbrook agrees to a buyout. Said that from the beginning.
If he's like Wall and is fine with not playing then there's no point.
And the money they save would be from not paying out the Gordon, Wood, and Schroeder salaries next season. Which Fertitta would do if he could.

Westbrook isn't taking the kind of buyout you think he'd take, definitely not enough to justify trading Wood for Westbrook.
No one except Westbrook knows that. I'm just telling you how the trade could be possible from the Rockets perspective.
Outside of him taking a Blake Griffin kind of buyout it doesn't work. He might choose to do that over being sidelined, he might not.
Oh my fukkin gawd
So while I was looking at this video, I was also thinking about all his missed shots on the Lakers and made me think does Westbrook need glasses?
It seems that his vision is messed up and that would explain so many things.
If this Glass Joe ass nikka Kendrick Nunn finally comes back then you got him and DJ Augustin..
Lakers should do the John Wall shyt and just send Russ away he might welcome it he’s clearly cooked mentally..
Send his ass home to his “family”
