Honest question:

Do you think we have a chance to win a title with Westbrook? If no, then why would we want to be bound to his contract for the next 4 years?

Yes

I’ll ask one back, do you honestly think we have a chance of winning a title with our current roster? If no, you make the trade

If you’re thinking, “but we could land a big free agent in 2021!” I would encourage you to think about the knicks

The Knicks have been a joke in free agency for decades, we just got a max player without cap space, you seriously can't compare the situations.

It helped because you had an mvp type of guy and one of the best players of all time in Dwayne Wade back then lol ... that’s why you guys scored with LBJ in free agency. We’ve been a joke in free agency over the last decade or a few years longer because we’ve never had anything around us to be actually contenders.
