The Oklahoma City Thunder have agreed to trade Russell Westbrook to the Houston Rockets for Chris Paul, first-round picks in 2024 and 2026, pick swaps in 2021 and 2025, league sources tell ESPN.

HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Adarq...bruh....ya just got Russ.

crazy.. MIA just pulled some serious stuff out of nowhere this off season.

I've been following the rumors for a while now, but can't find details of the trade?!?!

Westbrook is a beast but, not exactly sure of what to think yet - tho I guess Westbrook might be even more of a threat in the East. Westbrook is an absolute monster, this is definitely exciting. It'll be fun watching him in MIA, going to be highlight szn down here.

The East is pretty open right now.. MIA didn't prepare for it too well but SOMEHOW pulled some serious magic to make these two trades happen.

Westbrook, Butler, joining Bam/Dragic/Winslow/Olynyk etc.. I think we still have Waiters, James Johnson, Jones Jr as well? Now Meyers Leonard & Herro seems solid?? If so, very solid squad right there.

MIA going to be showtime for 2019-2020. :ninja: :ninja: :ninja:

waiters > westbrook imo right now

uhhhhhhhh.. no.

but seriously westbrook has 0 finesse on his shots, has probably one of the worst square up and follow thru's today....

ya but he doesn't need finesse on his shots. he can get to the bucket, rebound, assist, etc. if he had more finesse on his shot, nice. but he's still averaging triple doubles for entire seasons.

when it comes to winning championships, i'm not high on westbrook (he's kind of "melo-ish" to me). but he's one of the best in the game right now.

wow very solid squad indeed miami has...

yup

had one of these dreams a few nights ago.

i've wanted to dream blog this before, but never have. this is probably the 5th time it happened.

i'll just explain it briefly: occasionally i have a very vivid dream where i'm either "searching for my mom" or "randomly see my mom".

for example, several months ago I had a dream where I was walking in a city.. and I saw my mom & dad walking together - holding hands etc, when they were younger. they didn't notice me or anything, i just looked at them walking, then they walked off. it was actually very intense. it's the one i remember most.

a few nights ago, i had a dream where i was searching for my mom. i went to some random mall, and found her working behind a counter, selling something (like perfume etc). in this dream, she noticed me and welcomed me over etc, as if she was expecting me.

also had one where i randomly saw her somewhere, making me think she's still here but "in hiding", ie trying to start a different life somewhere.

those dreams make me feel unusual after i wakeup. can't really explain that part of it. just feel different. it's odd.

first dream blog post since 2017.. 8|

rest.

same: injured areas feeling it a bit more with less activity. progressive "worse" each day of rest. weird stuff.

ice debacle:

iced (real ice double wrapped in a paper towel) my sacral spine/tailbone tonight for 45 minutes while watching a movie.. i don't ice areas for that long, 30 minutes is usually the max. anyway i felt fine.. but, after a few minutes of walking around, my sacral spine area started getting excruciatingly painful. I started worrying about "frost bite". I also couldn't pee. it was kinda scary.. i think i just "froze" some nerve endings too much. Pain lasted for about 15 minutes, was freaky. 30 minutes after I was fine though. obviously not a good idea to ice that long, but was just weird experiencing the affects of over-icing like that, especially in that area. when i was like 16 or so, docs told me that an operation on my sacral spine had a 30% chance of making me lose sensation to my dick, so i said forget that. seems like over icing that area temporarily shut down urination/etc. creepy.

went food shopping.. thank g*d.

that area I ran today was part of a little experiment. I've always loved running at this park, but wanted to see more of the area. It's impressive, basically 3 parks strung together where you can run on grass for pretty much all of it (~5 mi in one direction) - a runner's paradise for a Floridian. And it's near the everglades, so theoretically you can trek across some path and get to the everglades, and run on the embankment etc.. (which is kinda scary, but people do it - mostly cyclists ride out there).

in addition to that, it has nature areas (boardwalk-ish stuff throughout some forests), tons of lakes/canals, a water park, 3 dog parks, an amphitheater, and they hold state h.s./college XC meets there.

pretty sick.

it's a really beautiful area.. and unfortunately very expensive. but an affordable option pops up occasionally, luckily.

so long story short.. i'm trying to find a place out there. it's all homes near the park, no apartments etc.. so i've actually been looking to rent a house.

tried touring a few but they got rented out. going to tour one tomorrow which I actually like better than the other two. the back yard (beyond the fence and small canal) is basically right on the "everglades" (a huge portion of land which leads directly to the everglades).

i've checked out some apartments near work, "big city" life just isn't for me -> especially with two very active dogs. It's only slightly cheaper too.. the apartments near the beach (near my work) are pretty expensive. I hated having to use an elevator, and hearing the sounds of the city -> music from various restaurants, traffic, etc. Down by the swamp, you hear bugs/birds/nothingness, it's great.

so instead of finding a spot near work, i'm trying to find a spot near the swamp (20 min from work lmao, which is still closer than I am now (40 min)). i want to heal up, and just run/relax out there. lots of peace & quiet, not much traffic at all, safe, dog friendly, etc. If I lived out there & my injuries were healed, I could get my mileage way up very safely (all soft surfaces) with tons of visual stimulation because of how many different grass spots you can run.

i've been obsessing about this for a month or so.. want to find something soon & setup shop.

also, no roomates/living with family members etc. just me, 2 pups, and some long overdo relaxation.

 :derp:

Sounds so nice. I sometimes get a bit overwhelmed living in a big city, and even though where I am is pretty quiet as far as relatively central London goes, I miss proper quiet.

ya man, proper quiet is where it's at.

human noise pisses me off, much more so now than at any time before. I wear earplugs alot, in the house & at work etc. Just trying to drown everything out. eeeh.

Quote
Hope I can move out to the country side one day.

same! i need the land, and quiet.

there's no country side in SFL.. so that means moving out of SFL eventually.

SFL is so congested. that congestion has been bugging me for a long time now.

I really liked Clermont when I was passing through. Some beautiful homes sitting on sizable land. That's what I care most about, land. If I ever buy a home, i'll care more about that than the size of the home. A small (clean af) home sitting on a few acres would be awesome. Would have to move up north for that, or out of Florida completely. A home sitting on a few acres in SFL is worth several millions. eh!

pc!
