You can't compare Westbrook fit for this system to Wall. Wall is literally a fit for this system or some would see it as a lack thereof to Westbrook who has to control everything. Harden doesn't have to control everything. Wall doesn't have to control everything. That's him being a big risk but an enigma is something that's difficult to understand, Westbrook career has been that. I'm not sure if a catch and shoot % of 38 is that solid. How big is the sample size anyway? Wall is a spotty shooter, always has been. His career 3pt percentage is 32%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleachkit Posted December 4, 2020 Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 Houston should still be competitive. There's no reason to think this year's team wont be as good if not better than last years, as long as Harden ultimately buys in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators AHF Posted December 4, 2020 Moderators Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 Seems like you guys could do a straight up WS or WAR, etc. bet for who finishes higher between Wall and Westbrook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kawhi/PG basically destroyed an OKC franchise, forcing them to rebuild and jettison Russ. Now Houston (despite their most optimistic statements, is likely to lose their franchise guy sooner than later. I bet Harden ends up in Brooklyn after all is said and done. Silas really seems like he is afraid to upset Harden right now. Wants to give him "space". What are they, a HS couple? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators macdaddy Posted December 4, 2020 Moderators Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 I keep forgetting Houston signed Cousins too. A couple massive gambles on Wall and Cousins which could pay off. Probably not but it's possible. If Harden is traded then they are screwed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not interested in any more bets till after preseason ends. I need to see what system Houston will implement. MDA isn't there anymore. With Russ, I already know what Brooks will do so I have a low bar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cousins has been so good when he's been healthy but hurt so much the last few years. As stated above, Wall looks good in pickup but he's been hurt for quite a while too. Big gambles that could elevate or decimate Houston's season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be a very good time to face off against the Cats. My brother is a Tech grad and is basically viewing this as one of these teams having to stumble their way into a win. Can we retroactively do a sig bet? How about you @bird_dirt? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators AHF Posted December 8, 2020 Moderators Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 If another NBA wants to sign him, do the Knicks own his right or get right of first refusal or something else? Definitely makes me wonder if he is still suffering injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely makes me wonder if he is still suffering injuries. An Exhibit 10 contract is a one-year, minimum salary NBA contract with a specific Exhibit 10 attachment built into it and no other bonuses. These attachments are not present in every NBA contract, only deals in which both parties have agreed to include it. Exhibit 10 attachments allow the NBA team to convert a player’s one-year, minimum contract into a two-way contract but this has to occur prior to the start of the regular season. These one-year deals are often non-guaranteed, which lets NBA teams waive the player and remove their cap hit from the team payroll. Exhibit 10 attachments allow players to earn a bonus of $5,000 to $50,000 in the event that they are waived by the NBA team, then sign a deal with that franchise’s G League affiliate* and remain with that affiliate team for 60 days. This bonus $5,000 – $50,000 bonus, which does not count against the NBA salary cap, is in addition to the G League salary the player would also collect in this particular scenario. If a player’s Exhibit 10 contract is converted to a two-way deal, the Exhibit 10 bonus converts to guaranteed salary. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How seemingly intelligent people on this board believe things to be plausible, that are in actuallity no way plausible, is beyond me.

It died. Heck, he was just available recently for HOU in a Harden deal. Please address me as I was the person to mentioned it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
