Russell Westbrook traded to Houston Rockets for Chris Paul and 2024 2026 1st round pick and swaps

[RammerJammer]

Owner didn't want to give James Harden 4 more million per year because he didn't want to pay the luxury tax and that was the end.....

His cheapness literally destroyed a potential dynasty

The 30 for 30 on this shyt will be

I remember when Harden got traded in 2012, the next day at school this dude was mad as hell talking bout “THEY TRADED HARDEN FOR KEVIN MARTIN?! ”

what makes it hilarious is that last season their owner had the highest luxury tax bill in the league

NOW you don't want to be cheap?

Great GM in a terrible situation
I don't see a franchise ever doing much in OKC
Presti drafted 3 MVPs + Ibaka in 3 straight drafts never getting the #1 pick, but ownership didn't want to pay to keep them together
They'd probably be a crazy dynasty in a big market

Yea, nikkas like to skip over that part. Act like KD didn’t want to leave regardless of what they were willing to pay him

Forget dynasty, how about one ring? You can't figure out how to get a single ring with that?

Wow I completely missed this notification when I woke up.

...this shyt couldnt have happened to a nicer guy.

Can't force his way nowhere cause of his contract.

Got ceremoniously dumped from the team, basically.

Goes from contending to basement dwelling.

All that bad karma comin back in droves.

 

[panopticon]

Well...he did tell em to get away from him

 

[Muzion]

Good thing Presti got all these picks, cause he'll need them to convince someone to take Paul...

Had Ibaka become the all star caliber big they needed, it woulda made a bigger difference than folks wanna admit. Can’t win a title without that kind of big.

This is horrible for both sides
