Lol what a damn lie if Westbrook wanted out before Paul george trade than why wouldn’t you report it before the actual trade?
no one reported the PG trade either till it happened either
The same reason no one reported PGs requested trade you inbred mutt
you dont report it, it ruins your leverage, same with the AD trade
Nobody wants to play wit russ idc how u try to put it.
@@guledm12 because nobody saw it coming
The media is so messy. Don't turn Russ's sendoff into something it's not. That man loves OKC, but obviously the organization is headed towards a rebuild. It's only right that the Thunder do right by Russ and send him someplace where he can compete.
Facts
Facts but it also wouldn’t surprise me if they trade him to a shit place either so they can get better draft picks and shit.
detroit. lol.
He sucks
bacardibum that would be hella interesting because that’s where Reggie Jackson is and him and Russ fucking hate each other
Woj is literally the only person I can take seriously in the media lmao
@Kiquan Ringo how is he a clown?
Kiquan Ringo Remember when the sources said Kawhi was definitely not going to LAC
What ? Lol he said AD was going to Boston
Woj said Leonard was going to Lakers. Woj ain't know Leonard called up PG.
@Kiquan Ringo Why are you mad? 😂
Not a Westbrook fan but it be cool to see him prove people wrong
@@Zenigundam Shut your ugly ass up
How? By Averaging a quadruple double for the season and then get swept in the 1st rd?! Lol
same
Zenigundam stfu nerd
@@Zenigundam STFU your a bitch
When PG resigned I remember Stephen A Smith suggesting that they both signed with OKC long term to secure the money and be traded together eventually
Wesley Bryant
Suggesting isn’t the worth... insinuating**
The media just be talking. Y'all keep naming teams that he could traded to, but are not naming the possible assets teams would have to give up for Westbrook
Bcuz that would take actual research
Pistons Knicks Magic Miami
@@stevoz6743 oh really u ain't worth shit bitch
watch Paul George was worth 6 1st rounders to trade westbrick you'll have to package 2 of those just to get rid of him he ain't worth shit literally another carmelo
Look Miami will give up Olynyk and Dragic! And some shotty first round picks and maybe a second. Miami is a perfect fit. (Rolling my eyes)
My "sources " 🙄🙄..
Just know BS is on the way
We had to list ours in school...
Fredrick Butts FACTS 😂😂😂
Fredrick Butts yeah and sadly that’s the myth they still teach in school, because in reality corps, journalists, and media make shit up all of the time and only have to mention the “I have sources” without having to prove them
@@natecruz7114 you telling me Woj's sources ain't accurate?
@@faisalsalam4161 Woj gets his info straight from the horse's mouth. The analysis assume speculate without any proff
This guy said the Knicks need to be patient... what team has he been watching for the last past 30 years?
Facts
They do need to be patient Westbrook doesn’t help the Knicks
@@primetimegrant I'm not even a Russell Westbrook fan, but how dare you say that Russell Westbrook wouldn't help the Knicks win games in the east... the east
CaptinComments knicks dont need to win now, build with the young core no need to trade them all now just so there could be a buzz in NY
@@PankysPen win regular szn games means nothing when you are trying to get a chip. Why would you have all that cap space for superstars to make a run for a chip and waste it on a guy who has proven he can not get anywhere near winning a chip and plays selfish basketball? Stupid.
ESPN needs to stop putting in their bench warmers
People take breaks during the off season. Nothing really interesting to talk about anymore anyways.
Bench players second stringers
Chris Haynes has two girlfriends.
@Tertian Jones facts
Knicks ain’t getting Russ FOH they can’t even get Monta Ellis 😂🤣💀
Thats funny shit hut true.. would be cool to see westbrook show rj barrett how to be a pg. Might actually help NY make playoffs but doubt it
Who the fuck wants monte Ellis? It's not 2013 hahahahahaha
"Wessell Wesbrook".....Ramona, not to be mean, but you need to get your life in order.
maaly8111 LOLOLOLOLOLOL
She needs to get her weight in order
Astronaut Traveler not funny.
maaly8111 lmaooooooo
Blasian 19 it was funny.
Did nobody else hear her say Wessell Westbrook?? 0:01
she was thinking of Wetzel's Pretzels when she said it
At 3:20 she also called him westbrick.
That was just her chewing on her tongue...fat chicks need snack breaks too
TheLtrain85 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yes!!!
I think us NBA fans need start holding these Analyst Accountable! Ever since FA started All we As fans have gotten is BS Lies From....Sources it almost To point Seem Analyst Say things for shock value
Just watch NBA tv... ESPN been ass for years
Rb the breakthrough
They're never held accountable for that shit so the BS will continue.
Why would you take anything reported in sports media as hard truth anyway. Nothing is true until it’s confirmed by the organizations themselves.
Hold yourself accountable for being so gullible.
So Zayd Ahmad so does that make my statement any less valid? The point is, the BS they spew is all speculation they're just as clueless ass we are yet they parade as if they know what they're talking about. They get paid 6-8 figures to not have a clue.
Why is this girl trying so hard to sound like Rachel Nichols
naw ramona always sounds like that.
Mgriff 7 it’s a script anyone can read
That’s who I thought it was when I was driving, parked got in the door and it was this chunky white girl. 😳

She okay she watched Rachel
Russell Westbrook not a terrible teammate!!!
Jamario Stevens A Horrible one you’re right 👍
Jamario Stevens You right. A horrible winner

@@newbct666 lol when was the last time he won without KD? 😂
@Loyal Philly fan Ok!!! KD left Steph. Does that mean Steph is a terrible teammate?
first u guys couldn’t stop talking about lebron and the lakers, and now u can’t stop talking about westbrook. i can’t believe anything u say anymore.
Thankyou another thunder fan I can talk to
Michael Jackson respect my guy
As a thunder fan Ima miss u Russ. Thanks for all the good times
Westbrick bout to average 50 ppg while shooting 20 percent
EliteFrite stop liking your own comments fake ass Stephen A Smith. I’m the real one
JR Smith..I Know you're Not Talking 😉
No I’m the real Stephen A Smith. STAY OFF THE WEEEEDDDDUUHHHH
how dare you
Facts😂🤣
Watching them interact with each other was uncomfortable. Why is Spears grabbing Tim’s shoulder like that? Made me cringe watching it
I genuinely believe that ESPN has no inside information so they speculate and create their own madeup talking points to miseducate their audience. This is not a very difficult strategy. For example, two of the best players in the NBA play for rival Los Angeles teams, Lebron James And Kawhi Leonard. So likewise ESPN, I could create to stir some shit using a clumsy title like “Kawhi Claims King of Los Angeles.” Of course there’s absolutely no validity behind my madeup rumor but people would believe it because it’s believable because of the renewed rivalry in L.A. Then I can have my audience foolishinh discussing my madeup talking point with things like “No Lebron is King.” It will all be a waste of time but I get my ad revenue... Rinse and repeat.
very well said sir 💯
xele fonte Plus ppl will believe it just cause they seen it on ESPN
Um... No. That's not how the media works. There are libel and defamation laws and news rooms follow codes of conduct to avoid liability. ESPN's news revenue is just a tiny part of just ESPN's revenue not to mention Disney's you fuck face. They are not making up bullshit so they can get sued into oblivion. Khawi and his team were, smartly, taking advantage of the media and spreading misinformation themselves. The fact that that isn't obvious to you is sad. The fact that you'd instantly jump to ignorant conspiracy theories is just pathetic. You are transparently stupid.
@@mattsch21 i think not every country has a libel law🤔
How is it libel if Stephen A says "is Kawhi the New King of LA" or something like that. All they have to do is pose it in the form of a question, which they often do. It's not like they are accusing players or providing locker room info as facts. Just state "sources say" and it becomes an opinion. The OP is spot on.
no one can pronounce Russell Westbrook's name lmaooooooooooo everyone says Wussel Westbrook
They need to practice first.
Happens to me all the damn time
Wussell westbroook
Lmao when she said Wussell Westbrook I died 😂😂😂
No just you lisp boy
*Batman voice* WHERES RACHEL
That sound track that kicks in at 2:06 is so smooth.
It really is. I wanna know the name of the instrumental if it's even out there
@@dafundraiser563 Same here.
Cp3 just got EXILED! 🤣🤣🤣He gotta stop biting the hands that feed him. He just got shipped to never never land! Lmfao.
Westbrook is gone
He don't want to be there
You trade all your assists to GET PG
get embarrassed in the playoffs twice
And then trade away the same dude u gave all u had for
Time to rebuild
Spot on!!!
They traded oladipo who wasnt gonna get the ball handling in okc, sabonis who is a nice big for limited minutes, and a first and they turned it into 7 first round picks going into the next 10 years plus a young point guard they got their assets back dude lol
@@scarfacereturns1 cool , waste Westbrook's prime then
Why would they rebuild , WHO HAS ever signed with Oklahoma? 😂. Oh unless you think they will draft Harden, westbrook, Ibaka and KD type talent 🤦♂️
@@bxniners building doesn't mean sign freeagents only 😂😂
U want them to be a first round exit if they can even make the playoffs, and waste Westbrook's prime til he's a free agent and leaves so u get nothing for him? Are u stupid
I’m sorry Ramona but that is VERY CLEARLY Rachel Nichols job lol
Rachel > Ramona
She never knows what she’s saying 🤦🏻♂️
Westbrooks game revolves around passion and emotion you cant have all that passion when youre in a place you dont want to be.
These “insiders” actually have the nerve to even report something like this after 99% of all of them ruled out the clippers for the kawhi race.
The reason why loyalty doesn’t exist in the nba is because the teams don’t have any loyalty to the players anymore it’s a business now
Was always a business we are just seeing it all now because of media and social media
Does anyone really trust Ramona shelburne? She knows what agents and players want her to, she isn’t getting people to tell her their secrets because she is so connected and has so many friends “in the league”
Yes man.. no one wants to get into bed with her to give up secrets.
We will miss Westbrook if this does go down. Thank u Russ for all the hard work U put into this beautiful game ad staying loyalty as long as u could. Ad good luck on chasing that championship.
Bruh these headlines got me spitting out water geeking!
Man I guess I didn’t dig deep enough into my TV guide, I saw stupid tennis on ESPN one, and two, gave up an missed an all new jump, smh! 🏀❤️
Westbrook said Next Question
PG said Next Team
Sorry to see russell go but wish him the best with his new team.
How in the fuck does she think OKC are gonna make the playoffs
1. Clippers (62-20)
2. Lakers (57-25)
3. Jazz (55-27)
4. Golden State (54-28)
5. Houston (52-30)
6. Denver (51-31)
7. Portland (49-33)
8. Spurs (48-34)
OKC With Russ (33-49)
OKC Without Russ (19-63)
Ramona got 8 necks.
daaaang dude, leave her neck out of this.. 😂
You could fit 2.5 Rachel Nicole's in her torso alone.
Fuck off. She has a good job and is probably a decent human being.
Get a life loser.
Damn everyones talking about balance in the league and OKC is gonna stink now..
Big Sauce Kawhi really brought the NBA new balance 💀
It's The God pun intended?
Wait 3 years we have 7 first round picks in 2020
“You don’t wanna trade Russell Westbrick “ I’m dying 3:21
Sam presti should only be an assistant GM imo. He can draft like a beast but can’t build a team. OKC always needs spacing and 3’s
4:23 HOW DID HE KNOW?!?!?
When I first watched this I thought that guy was stupid, and his co-host definitely did too
Justin Mensh insane !!!
Justin Mensh I came straight here after finding out.
They chose to pay him now they wanna say they don't wanna pay him as he gets older??? Did they expect Westbrook to get younger after signing? 🤔
They expected a WCF at least not 3 first round exits
Zer0Denir0 with that roster they put around him LMFAO they shouldnt have even expected the playoffs
jeremiah greenwood 😭😭😭 true story
Wtf was that at 2:20 “I think the key word here is *MUTUAL* “ lmao
If this isn’t spin for the last guy left behind, I don’t know what it is...
ESPN- appears that westbrook wanted out of okc since 2012 summer 😂
After Kawhi made everyone from ESPN and FS1 look stupid, I trust My source over anyone's. He's 15 in highschool and follows "Bleacher Report". 😅😂
Its gonna be the Knicks, the Knicks are making moves right now. Like they are taking away Marcus Morris from the Spurs $15 mil for 1 year. They wouldnt be doing that if they werent working on getting Russ or Cp3.
T Will if they pick up either, it will still be a L for the knicks this offseason 😂😂
Morris is dumb for leaving he has a better chance of contending for a chip with spurs then knicks even if they get Westbrook
You saying cp3 like this 2009 they get him they still going to the lottery
@@BigDilf3 I see the Knicks picking up assets to flip them and get someone like CP3 or Westbrook. Who knows, but thats what it looks like the Knicks are doing.
What’s the beat/instrumental that starts at 2:15 ?
Westbrook to knicks for DSJ & a 1st round pick unprotected
Great for NY Fans, NBA, rivalry purpose, kd vs west, ny makes loads of money from both sides.
OKC management failed to surround Russ with shooters. Only legit shooter they had was PG
Rob Smith grant became a decent 3pt catch and shooter but that was it
Russ wouldn't pass it to them anyway, he allows guys to sit corners and doesny pass it to them I've watched russ for 11 years I know his game
I don't understand why a small market team would try to trade an mvp like Westbrook. The media is always saying superstars don't want to stay in small market teams but now they are trying to get rid of their mvp that they drafted. 🙁
This would be the first time in OKCs history that they don't have a star player. This could mean the beginning of the end of that franchise in that town. We will see how well they are supported while winning 20-30 games the next few years.
I'm sorry, who's Wussell? In all seriousness.. say "Woj Russell Westbrook Welcomes" three times fast.
I'll leave a like for the trouble.
Oh so this is the Chatty Patty section of ESPN 🤔🧐 Copy
This man Presti had Durant, Westbrook, harden, Ibaka AND Paul George.
One finals appearance.....
Lmao so we're going to ignore the fact that she said "Wessell Westbrook"?😂💀 such a great Mike Tyson impersonation
Thunder should move team to Jacksonville or San Diego. Nobody wants to play in okc
Seattle
Dominick Toran I agree
Cancun
@@BlackBiggot yes
@@BlackBiggot They came from Seattle. lol.
ESPN reports : LeBron hated Cleveland and lost all those NBA finals on purpose
Can anyone tell me the instrumental or song at 3:05 !!! Please
Westbrook shows good character being traded from okc he knows it's time the team knows it's time and everyone knows it's time
Now that's a lie Haha more like OKC requested the trade😅
OKC MIA HOU OKC gets picks n dump contracts like Dragic MIA gets CP3 n Pj Tucker n Faried n HOU gets RUSS
OKC needs to give up first round picks to dump westbrook in that case.
I swear I hope this happens
Thatkiddadreamer 3528 Houston don’t want that bum westbrick
to real they not doing anything with old crippled ass cp that they can’t do with Russ
So OKC goes back to being trash forever, makes sense, unless you think they are gonna turn all those 25th-30th Clippers picks into Ibaka, Harden, KD and Russ, will never happen and even if that was to magically happen, they would all leave after 3 years anyway, GET THAT TEAM OUT OF OKLAHOMA, nobody is signing there and nobody is resigning there
Ramona, you gotta hit the treadmill!
THANK YOU ❗️ it was obvious as hell he wanted out because he told Paul George after the trade " you already know what it is brodie " they both had this planned but PG got traded first ... that's why PG even said he wasn't tolerating no Westbrook slander because he knew him and Russ both wanted out of OKC and it had nothing to do with PG not wanting to play with Russ , they was just BOTH done with OKC 💯
Westbrook got dumped by PG so he’s tryna pull the I was tryna dump you first move 😴
No he wasnt lol people really tryna hate on Russ for anything if you believe insiders your stupid
@Loyal Philly fan exactly! OKC did the more for him than Cleveland did for LBJ's entire career and he still couldn't leave first round without KD 😂
Math Simon ur comparing Russ and Lebron Bru
According to Woj Kawhi is a Laker. That's what happens when you believe the hype you think you know everything. Woj the Great one.
@Simply Timm You are so dumb. Woj has been saying Kawhi was going to the Clippers the entire free agency.
*Anchor Man “I don’t believe you” meme*
Damn Marc spoke it into existence cp3 might be heading to Miami and Westbrook to Houston wow
dee Thompson yeah
Westbrook to Toronto, lol’s! 🏀👀👂🏻☕️❤️👍🏻🛎‼️
@Terrence Cheek Toronto already turned him down. They don’t want his expensive contract.
Who is this Woj guy? I hear his name everywhere. He some secret spy or something? lol
Adrian Wojnarowski
They call him the father of the secrets
Stinky Pinky
He’s in your closet
@Niko Gambino fuck you, my mother's a saint!!!
Anyone know where first take is ?
Lol Kawhi got everyone bashing the media, played LBJ, and forced PG to request a trade restoring balance to the league. He might be the true 🐐
Why is this woman reporting?get in the kitchen 🙄
Russell is one of the most overrated players in the game. Don't @ me.
I’m a simple man. I see Ramona and move onto the next video as fast as possible.
Anybody know the beat around the 2:06 mark or is that some ESPN owned beat?
5:00 it actually would be a good move honestly although the biggest factor for Houston would be how can two super ball dominant players win a chip?
They shouldn’t be allowed to do these shows without a person that actually played b4 !💯
Haha, he said SAS' trigger word, he said "PATIENT!" lol
Okc needed a coach that knew how to run a team and put a stop to hero ball...well coached teams always dismantled okc. That is on the coach. To spend all that money to assemble the lineup okc had and short change it with an unproven coach is mind boggling to me
See how dude on the left tried so hard to sound like the voice of reason and knowledge, and in the end Spears was right all along
Needs to go somewhere that he would be the exact same player while giving his new franchise some hope for the future. IMO Orlando makes alot of sense.
Knicks need to stay away from making trades for players just to make their fans happy. They need to show future FAs that they can build a playoff caliber team that can contend with the right star. A lot of these media people don't know anything about the sports they report on.
Ramona did an excellent job in the absence of Rachel
Cut to Stephen A “You’re wrong and here’s why” 😂
As a OKC fan this hurts
And there goes the last of Presti’s draft gems
Woj fucking knows everything 😂😂😂 bro knows what time every player wakes up in the morning. 😂
Bring back the Seattle Supersonics!
-Bulls Fan here 💯
Its not OKC, its you.
This deserves more likes
Westbrook's persona suits NY best 🏀
If OKC didn’t want to pay someone $100 mil past their prime, then why sign him to get $100 mil past his prime?
How is "welcomes" the point of no return? "Demanded" or "asked" should be the point of no return. "Welcomes" gives a sense of indifference. Why do they not want to pay him. He may be making 47 million but he has made this so much more early on.
Westbrook was my fav player but damn he became sooo inefficient if his J becomes even a lil better he a top 5 without a doubt
Their making this too much of a dramatic issue when it's really not. OKC wants to rebuild and Russ wants a change of scenery. Miami is the best place for him because of Spolestra and Riley and how they can increase his IQ. OKC fans won't be mad at Russ for leaving and if they are, they will get over it. I heard a quote once that said coaches, players and GMs should never listen to the fans or they will find themselves right along with them soon enough.
Bring Russell to New York. Don't give up a single prospect or draft pick though. If you can do that, sign him immediately!
The best thing in the NBA would be for some of those great but not the best all star in the west to come to the east.. the league would be very interesting and possibly more competitive
Holy shit Ramona is miles better than Rachel, Espn get Ramona her own show
I don't trust these so called "analysts" anymore. This off-season they've really showed that my dog was a better analyst than they'll ever be.
My girl is hosting. Let’s goooooo!!
