Colin Cowherd: “I love NBA trade. So the Houston Rockets get John Wall and a first round pick, and give Russell Westbrook to the Washington Wizards. First of all, Westbrook is so much better than John Wall it’s not even close. That is indisputable. Russell Westbrook is expensive, but he can score if you get him off the three-point line, he plays hard, and he’s a much better player than John Wall. What am I going to get physically from John Wall? The guy has had two major surgeries. Who cares that Houston got a first round pick? Some 17th pick in the first round? Look at this current NBA first round. Not a single player in the last NBA Draft is guaranteed to be a star. There’s about four guys who are guaranteed to be STARTERS… I’ll take Westbrook any day of the week over John Wall and a first round pick. First round picks in the NBA don’t mean squat unless you have the first, second, or third pick in a GOOD Draft, and most Drafts these days are NOT good. Congratulations to the Wizards!” (Full Video Above)
