Shams suggesting Charlotte would take on Westbrook and his salary. Wiseman would catch A LOT of lobs.
Would that sort of move push Charlotte to move up for the top pick?
If they got Westbrook what would they have left to land the number 1 pick? Or vice versa. That team has next to nothing on it. They have Graham and PJ and the rest is pretty meh.
Charlotte has a lot to offer in terms of future draft picks. Yum, yum!

That's why I don't think he's worth just a ham sandwich. Struggling franchises are gonna look at those big counting numbers and see a guy who can just make them relevant quicker even if it's not going to be a title contending move. Hell if we just wanted to make the playoffs next year, getting Westbrook with Russell and Towns would get that done. I don't think Rosas thinks that way, but I could easily see other teams thinking that way.
Don't know how good the source is but PG13 and a first for Westbrook is quite a bit more than people were expecting Westbrook to fetch.
I don't see that happening. Also, I don't trust that particular source -- Brandon "Scoop B" Robinson.
Maybe I'll be surprised and the Clippers are still the Clippers.
FWIW If I remember right that guy on twitter talks a big game but I don't remember anything he said coming true. I think I remember one of his FA predictions or whatever wasn't even close.
