(@DreamShakeSBN) December 3, 2020how i imagine this Westbrook/Wall trade went down:Wizards: “good luck.”Rockets: “you too.”— Rob Perez (@WorldWideWob) December 3, 2020Praise for the Washington WizardsJohn WallDespite the trolls and the barbs, a significant section of NBA Twitter was in approval of the move as far as the Washington Wizards are concerned. Russell Westbrook will be a suitable piece to augment Bradley Beal's offense. He's also going to have a bigger impact than the rusty John Wall who's returning from a lengthy injury layoff.Everyone now has to watch out for the Wizards! They traded for Russell Westbrook today.

John Wall getting traded to Houston Rockets means that he'll be teaming up with DeMarcus Cousins after a decade. The duo had played together for Kentucky during the 2009-10 season. Boogie has already reacted to the trade.😏— DeMarcus Cousins (@boogiecousins) December 3, 2020Additionally, Russell Westbrook will pair up with Scott Brooks once again. The latter was the head coach of OKC Thunder from 2008 to 2015.Scott Brooks and Russell Westbrook reunited in DC. Brooks has always just adored Westbrook. The two remain super close.— Fred Katz (@FredKatz) December 3, 2020Obviously, no discussion about Russell Westbrook is over without a difference of opinion. So while more fans chose to troll him for his habit of taking bad shots, some decided to thank him for his time with the Houston Rockets.Well now that Russ is gone, I just wanna thank him for absolutely carrying the team when Harden was playing awful.31-8-7 on 51% for nearly a 3 months— Eric (@PointGods) December 3, 2020Beal watching Westbrook pull up for a game winning three in the play in game pic.twitter.com/gZFEpG9rpo— Magic’s Burner (@MagicsBurner) December 3, 2020Russell Westbrook trying to get his first triple double on the wizards pic.twitter.com/hNaWbKzJVE— RDCWORLD BURNER (@rdcburner) December 3, 2020Bradley Beal when he’s wide open and Westbrook doesn’t pass. pic.twitter.com/ISPesQG9O7— ᴊᴡᴇᴘᴘ (@JWepp) December 3, 2020In any case, the Washington Wizards are now among the favorites to make it to the playoffs while the Houston Rockets still have a lot to ponder.Also read: NBA Trade Rumors - James Harden could be traded out soon by Houston Rockets according to league insider
