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

[Straw Hat Luffy]

I'm gonna go with the unpopular opinion and say harden n west brook will work

 

[Gravity]

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...

Serious or sarcastic?

 

[Regular_P]

Morey is an idiot. I know they wanted to get off CP3's deal (what, like two weeks after saying everything was fine? ) but Westbrook and Harden is gonna be oil and water, especially since Russ can't shoot.

Can't wait to see this.

Presti must have something in the works with Paul to somewhere else. No way he's staying in OKC.

 

[Joe Sixpack]

OKC gone give him a lowball buyout offer and he will take it because he doesnt want to play in OKC for a team that is going nowhere in his twilight years. Morey buried him.

Are you trolling nikka

 

[Admiral Ackbar]

Ballmer gonna get Logo to swing something for CP3?

 

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

Perfect marriage

 

[FaTaL]

Can a player just opt out of his contract and enter free agency if both parties agree?

The players union wouldn’t let cp3 do that

 

[Sauce Dab]

Chris Paul LAWST

Not with that contract he didn’t

 

[Rell Lauren]

I don’t understand this from the Thunders perspective

Draft picks are overvalued. The Thunder didn't have a good off-season.

 

[Digital Dre]

Prolly be a Clipper, can’t see him going to the Lakers with Rondo there. Could be the move the Clippers hinted at the other day

big cuz hate that nikka too

 

[Dwight Howard]

He's getting bought out 4 sure

Ain't nobody buying out a 124m contract. And it would look horrible for the president of the players union to give up a significant amount of money. His best bet is a trade.

 

[The God Poster]

This dude Presti been getting a pass for years.

what is the point of this ??

Billy King is a laughing stock

Isiah Thomas is a punchline

Joe Dumars gets dragged and he won a title

but this white boy been untouchable after destroying a potential legendary team

Now we can finally put if they would have been able to coexist as starters in they prime to rest.

Love basketball

 

[RubioTheCruel]

As a season ticket holder, I'm absolutely dumbfounded by this. This trade makes absolutely zero sense for the Rockets. Westbrook is the antithesis of Morey's system. How exactly does this make us better?? How do you ever expect to get anyone to come play here now??

CP3 is 34, washed, owed $124 million dollars and he hates Harden.

At least Westbrook is younger and has a better relationship with your best player

 

[Ribbs]

How many more draft picks does OKC need to horde
