Russell Westbrook traded to Houston Rockets for Chris Paul and 2024 2026 1st round pick and swaps
OKC is not about to stretch waive Paul, having dead cap for the next 3-7 years

This is a win for the Rockets...
Russ is 4½ years younger, 3 years younger experience-wise, so it extends the Rockets window...
Russ is also still a Top 15 player---->albeit, seemingly on the decline and near the bottom of that 15, but he's still a Top 15 player. Chris Paul isn't a Top 40 player now...
This is gonna work to the tune of the most deadly backcourt in the NBA. Russ showed most of last season he can take a step back and just play point, and that will extend his career and allow Harden to play more of the traditional SG role...
They just elevated from a team doing nothing and going nowhere to a championship contender. Those Big Bad Clippers (and everyone else, of course) got another threat to look out for...
Whoever wins The West will have earned it this year and will probably win the whole thing:
Clips, Lakers, Jazz, Blazers, Nuggets, Rockets are all legitimate. Warriors will be in the playoffs and if they get Klay in time to gel at the right time, they are putting whoever on Upset Alert...
Dallas is my pick as the 8th seed but Sacramento and New Orleans will be right there...
Anybody telling you today that they know the seeding of the West next year is lying. Seeding is gonna be crucial because the Top 6 seeds may be separated by 10 games or fewer, and the success rate I'm the playoffs will hinge on a)who's healthier at the right time; b)who has momentum at the right time; and c)matchups...
Big Bad Clippers are everybody's favorite, pressure is on starting today...

If Riley can get cp3 for something like dragic and James Johnson he wouldn’t do it? It’s not there’s anybody in free agency next offseason

I guess he’ll be moved by the trade deadline. Can’t see OKC keeping him and there’s no way they’ll buy him out.

Make Em Say Ughh ... Silk da Shocker
Didn’t take that to account, can they amnesty that nikka?

They must got 2 courts
Silver said he's gonna introduce split squads like they got in baseball spring training, as a way to address the 82 game grind. It comes into play this october.
CP3 likely teams:
1. Minny - Rosas is there, they need a PG badly. They got the bad contracts to make it happen.
2. Miami - They got the bad contracts but man, do they want CP3 contract? IDK.
3. DET - CP3 contract a beast but Reggie Jackson and a bad contract is possible. DET - CP3 contract a beast but Reggie Jackson and a bad contract is possible.
4. Orlando - Least likely to want CP3 contract and only bad contract they got is Mozgov's.

Chris Paul LAWST
They had interest in westbrook
Just didn’t wanna meet the price
If they can get cp3 without giving up picks or their young guys why not
I think cp3 is a better fit for Miami than westbrook
Nah, doesn't exist at this time. That was in the last CBA
They have Gallinari still, that’s more floor spacing
CP3
Shai
Roberson
Gallinari
Adams
Is a pretty decent lineup if everybody stays healthy. But I don’t think CP3, Adams, or Gallo stay

CP3 right now
