But we lose one of Kenrich or Wood if we don't ship out Moore
The only real sellers right now are probably Memphis with Iggy and OKC with the change in direction. If you can't find a good trade for Moore now you may not have a choice but to cut Wood. It's not like we have to cut him because we have Asik/Ajinca/Solo eating up roster spots. It's a good thing to have so many useful players on your roster that you have to cut someone not because they weren't good enough but because you didn't have enough opportunity to go around.

Whomever tries to get Westbrook will probably need to shed a contract as well. I think there are still a few moving parts and we'll just have to be a bit patient

Possibly TOR now. But I think they at least wait until the trade deadline to have a fire sale.

Seriously? You're expecting people to type Nickiel Alexander-Walker instead of NAW? A lot of people access this site on their phones, that is not happening.

Agreed. His ability with both hands was the most impressive part to me.

It definitely throws you off that he's ambidextrous. He shoots with his right hand but it looks he does most everything else with his left which he had mentioned in his predraft interview. I went back and watched the recording of the game. When he slung a couple of those skip passes, I was in awe of the off hand passes, then I remembered he doesn't have a true off hand haha.
Two things really stuck out to me from this game.
First, his body movement is really really good on both ends. On offense, he moves non-stop off of the ball which is really valuable in creating gravity as a good shooter. On the other end, he played great team defense and was very solid in his rotations at this stage in his development. That alone is an exciting thing to take away from the summer league that shows he will be a contributor.
The other thing that stood out to me was his explosiveness. I thought of him as more of a limited crafty creator who would use fundamentals and length to get his shot off in certain spots. Last night he showed more get-by burst and another gear I didn't think he had. He was able to get to the rim almost at will. That will change with NBA perimeter defenders and backlines that he will have to finish against, but there's more promise of him being an attacker and creator than I thought. That raises his ceiling another notch.

Probably worth its own thread(especially relative to how much crap gets justified to start threads around here)
Really helps break down his game and performance to a surgical level, good and bad.
