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

[GoddamnyamanProf]

OKC ain't buying out shyt and CP3 ain't leaving 120 mil on the table.

Waive and stretch

6.4 mil/yr for 25 years

Vince Goodwill is on nbatv right now. He just said this could potentially turn into a 3 team deal.

Kawhi really destroyed the whole OKC with one call

Damn man now I gotta buy 2k ...Legendary edition

 

[Strapped]

Why would okc take cp3 , dude is washed & always hurt

 

[ISO]

Westbrook played better than Chris the vast majority of the season, but I get your point...

CP3 was just out there as a role player last year, you could have flipped him for any Top 10 point and done better (if possible, of course). Russ was still winning games and playing at an All-Star level...

Morey and the Rockets are gonna get crushed the rest of summer for this move and I understand the hesitation, but I like it and I really think its gonna work. The bracket is too stacked to guarantee a chip but this team today is better than they were at the end of the year!

Westbrook is getting off based off name he was no better than Paul and Paul outperformed him in the playoffs

Russ statpadded his way into a triple double average with awful shooting splits and turnovers per game and sky high usage at least he defended last year

The man is ass without a full head of steam he has no breakdown iso ability past his declining first step and his handle is among the weakest among starting PG’s. His touch around the rim continue to get worse. His jumper is broke as he continue to chuck 3’s and he cannot even hit FT’s anymore.

If Westbrook is going to prolong his career he needs to use his post game more often and improve his shooting

The Rockets were better off trading Paul to a team like Miami for a package of depth (Dragic, James Johnson, Winslow, etc.) then star chasing for a washed nikka like Westbrook

Knicks are just the punching bag of the league.

fukkery? I'm in 100%! Now how is this offense going to be run?

OKC got their assets, they are probably willing to swap contracts with Heat for Paul

 

[the next guy]

crazy!

Paul is going to be bought out.

 

[CROM]

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

I don't care about their relationship. From a basketball perspective, this reeks of desperation to remain relevant. Morey wanted to make a splash....and he did....into a pool of quicksand. A guy that can't shoot and has a low basketball IQ, is a well documented stat padder and turnover machine makes no sense for this team.

 

[Joe Sixpack]

a ring will cement his legacy as one of the greatest pgs. If he doesnt win a ring his legacy will be mud.

If OKC offers him something like 60 mil he will take it and try to win a ring.

Wash ya face and go to bed you dumb ass nikka

:denzelcryin:

I know they got draft picks, but getting Paul makes no sense for OKC.
