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

[daboywonder2002]

CP3 thought he was a "made man"...thought he was one of the good ol' boys with coaches and management. They sent his ass to the bushes

That will humble you real quick. Dude negotiated his own trade the last 2 times. This time, he didn't even expect it.

This whole CP is washed shyt is getting taken too far, I don’t even know how much of an upgrade Russ is from CP if they intend on running the same system

He’s not a better iso player than CP, not a better shooter c/s or off the dribble and even as old as cp is; he’s not a befter defender

i agree, but problem is CP is injury prone as fukk at this point.

dude gonna miss at least 20 games and could go down at any time, including when he's needed most.

Damn, can't wait to see them on the court together, definitely going to be interesting to see who will play off the ball.

I swear i hate talking basketball in real life. The average guy doesn't know shyt and just repeat takes like Skpp Bayless

Sounds like you're talking to the wrong people. I have a lot of people in real life I chop it up with that can break down the game, interesting takes etc. Coli is increasingly garbage in comparison.

You clearly didn't see him play much. He's lost a step, can't create seperation anymore, shot awful in the playoffs, posted career lows in basically every counting stat... he's completely washed

exactly and he missed 24 games..

chris jus want a check these days...

Good time to fire Presti and hire Sam Hinkie

I dont know much about how contracts work in the NBA. Could it ever be possible for Chris Paul to get bought out by the Thunder and then Sign With the Lakers ?

not under that contract.

OKC still gotta sell tickets and put something on the floor. they not gonna eat $100 mill for nothing.

he still might get traded though. i don't know who is really in the market for chris paul at that price though, especially not any contenders.

 

[GoddamnyamanProf]

imagine thinking it isnt true

If James Harden isn't a winner what does that make you?

You agreeing with this nikka I promise you this isnt the hill you wanna die on

Russ been worst than CP the last two playoffs and he making more bread than CP

 

[Kimo_bud]

Hopefully okc loses the franchise. It’s a bunch of rednecks that are racist anyways

im goin out like a soldier..

 

[Big Boss]

The NBA is lit

 

[GoddamnyamanProf]

So our dynasty ended and we still got the most allstars in the league

Think about what that says about your team #Lightyears

You still have 4 all stars and a lot of people are predicting lottery.

Think about what that says about your team.

i'll never get why people hate this dude.

yeah maybe you might not like the way he plays, but people was shyttin on him like he was a bad guy and shyt when they got eliminated from the playoffs.

The simple answer is Warriors fans are trash.

> talked shyt to dame
> proceeded to shoot 30 shots and get outscored by the player he was clowning

This can be decent if Harden is willing to play offball more. The issue with Chris Paul and Harden was both guys playing iso ball and the other guy just standing, if that is how it is with Westbrook, you have a player who is a much worse shooter than Chris Paul.

If Westbrook can get on the break and Harden goes to the corner with all those shooters, Westbrook can make great plays. Westbrook will also need to stop chucking 3s but MDA needs to tell him that.
