OOOOOKAYYYYYY FUCKKKKKK! I FUCKING DID IT… I said I wouldn’t. I even knew it was stupid when I typed in “NBA Trade Machine” into the Google search bar but fuck! I fucking went there... I can’t take it back.
Shit… Now I’ve rolled a lil sumin’ and I’m kindaaaaa thinking about it.
Now follow me for a moment. You first have to agree to this one caveat I allowed myself in ignoring. Just COMPLETLY overlook that when you type “is Russell Westbrook…” into GOOGLE the first suggestion is “is Russell Westbrook playing tonight?” Just ignore that... We know the risk in locking in a star player that makes nearly $40 million a year, that may or may not be playing. (If we are honest none of us know that risk... I’ve never seen a million…lol)
However.
Nikola Vucevic and Evan Fournier playing with James Harden is “2014 Spurs exciting!” Yay Texas!
*Rips bong*
Okay... So maybe Russell Westbrook, Mo Bamba, Markelle Fultz, Aaron Gordon *coughs* lob city *coughs* and James Ennis/TRoss can play at a bit more up-tempo offense? With a lil lack of shooting, maybe playing faster would benefit the Orlando Magic offense. Oh and if you’re worried about Mo keeping up, don’t forget this nugget from bleacherreport.com
“Mo Bamba Reportedly Ran Faster Than Russell Westbrook, James Harden in Workout
I found an article from a random website and this is 2020 after all, so I think in America we call this “facts.”
So given these facts I now believe there’s no reason Mo and Russ can’t just race each other down court every possession, I don’t know, have fun with it, see who beats who, and then OH LOOK my teammate passed me the ball. Dunk. Dunk.
It’s probably the medical flower but it just seems to me that’s a situation that’s at least somewhat, on some level, kinda, just a little bit interesting for both teams?
Mo has been transforming his body packing on muscle, which is going to help his post-game tremendously. Pushing the tempo should allow him to establish himself closer, and faster.
If you want more facts YOUTUBE “Mo Bamba beats Steph Curry in 3-point shoot-out China Under Armour.” Or something like that. It exists (2020 facts rule applies to anything found on YOUTUBE also).
Just DO NOT YOUTUBE “Markelle Fultz”. If you do, GOOGLE “Markelle Fultz highlights” or something like that because the shit about the “yips” is *tiny hands* “FAKE NEWS” *lowers tiny hands*. Would Russ open Markelle’s game up a little bit? He would certainly draw attention from the defense. If Markelle did have any aversion the spotlight as the fake news Philly accounts (shout out @SixersSam I love you, you fucking troll bastard) Westbrook would take a good bit of media pressure off him. The cameras DO love Russ.
ANYWAY, this is why you don’t go to the dark side of the web AKA ESPN.com/TradeMachine
I regret it all, and you guys can throw shit at me as I run out the door, but before I go, I love Aaron Gordon. I do believe his MENTALITY mixed with his freak athleticism is going to breed a special talent in the right situation. *whispers* allstarrrrrrrrr
*runs out slams door*
*cracks door open*
And Jonathan Isaac shall rise again!
*slams shut*
Yell at me on Twitter @ The_Wyatt_Alan be a lot cooler if you didn’t though we could chat ya don’t gotta yell. Love.
