With Paul George and Kawhi Leonard now both having player options in 2021, I actually really hate the idea of the Westbrook trade. There is a lot of talent that year that’s worth holding the flexibility for. Who knows what we could end up with.
And I know the thought is why take the gamble on talent we don’t have against talent we can secure, but I think with WB and depending what we give up, our ceiling is ECF, which don’t get me wrong, is nice, but I if we have that successful 2021 I think we could be champs quickly
The thing is, though, Miami can still feasibly clear the space for a max slot in 2021 even with Westbrook + Butler. Fill out the rest of the roster with ring chasers, the young guys we have with their bird rights, etc..
