2726775, Wall couldn't shoot either. Was a mercurial teammate and took nights off.

Westbrook is basically an angrier and more charismatic Wall.

Westbrook is the elite-level (perennially underachieving and consistently agitated) athletic point guard Wall wanted to be. One of the guys he always bitched about not being compared to, even though he never played nearly as hard as Westbrook or CP3 or really ever got better as a jump shooter.

It's probably a bad deal:
1) We gave up a first at a time when "assets" matter more than ever

2) we traded one massive albatross of a contract for another

3) Beal barely gelled with Wall, lord knows how he'll play with Russ

4) the ceiling is out-in-6 in the ECF

5) I don't give a shit, it's the most exciting thing this team has done since MJ came back. A historical loser of a franchise with no dynamism to speak of, no tradition to even lean on when times are especially bleak (often.) This makes them more relevant than they've been since the Cheney administration.
