On one hand I'm glad/hopeful Dallas loses enough games to keep their pick this summer, on the other watching this struggle is a chore

Ramifications would be losing the 2022 pick which will be a draft with 1 and dones and HS players. Rather have a pick in the 20s or a Top 5 pick in this draft?

No way he was missing the all star game lol

Faried.

He is literally the exact same guy from 2011

Hmm, what's the exact breakdown of the Hawks and Knicks trades? I just read over them and I'm unclear on the scenarios

Stat pad like fat boys are saying or legit stat padding? Legit stat padding is when you’re already in a winning situation and you stay in for stats.

I guess I'm really asking this:
Does Russell Westbrook alter his game to prioritize filling his stat sheet over making the correct basketball play?

The reason I ask is because I'm debating with my friend who is so wildly impressed with his triple-double averages, while I'm not. While impressive, I'm of the belief that anywhere from 1-5 other players (LeBron, Giannis, KD, maybe a few others) could average a triple-double if they REALLY wanted to (like Russ does). Also, I've seen Russ pass up open shots to pass the ball for an extra assist and his teammates purposely not grab rebounds so that he can get a few more.

I'd actually really want to hear opinions.
