Well to be fair his coaches haven't exactly been elite level guys. Scott Brooks and Billy Donovan aren't Hall of Fame level offensive minds.

I think Harden is gonna have to spot up more, that is the only way this works.

Him and Westbrook friends in real life so if their is one person Harden would change his game for it's him...

Yea I hope so.

We could also use Westbrook as a cutter, we have ran some plays for Gerald Green like that and we have one for Capela called Point 2 Rip where he loops around a double screen for a lob.

Living in Saudi fukks up my time zone. I'm just now hearing about all this shyt.

Trade wise, this can go very well like KD/Russ/Ibaka or very matador like PG/Russ/Adams

Our offense isn't exclusive to Harden; it's dribble dribble top of the key PnR. It's just that nobody on our team BUT Harden (and CP3) could dribble, much less play that role. We all remember the disaster every time Gordon tried. Conversely, CP3's first year him and Harden took turns dribble dribble PnR and it was flawless bc CP3 wasn't flabby yet offensively.

Westbrook's game is inherently dribble dribble PnR. So him and Harden taking turns doing that ish is better than flabby Paul. The problem is we're still undersized on the glass and still have the same painfully one-dimensional role players who are borderline useless if their 3s aren't falling... with free agency all but dried up.

I understand the move. I knew we needed to do something at the end of the Utah series. The way they played harden that series and we didn’t teally have an answer. Utah just wasn’t that good compared to us but the defensive strategy worked and that shouldn’t have happened when you have another max player playing alongside Harden. They shouldn’t be able to employee that defense against Harden with Russ. But I’m just suspect about Russ because he had a horrible series against Utah with a real number 2. Same thing against Portland.


We can’t have our backcourt averaged over 10 turnovers a game. I can’t get hype until I see this happen on the court but I’m happy to be moved on from cp3.

I don't see this working at all. I've seen enough of Russ to know that he really fits NO system. He's a bad shooter and absolutely out of control. I've wanted Morey gone for years.....this has to be the end of the line.
