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

[RubioTheCruel]

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.

Did you watch Paul play any last year? He's washed. Westbrook is better.

OKC has a boat load of picks... I think they will move Paul too

Paul = John the baptist when he was exiled to the island of Patmos

 

[#1 pick]

Detroit maybe, and even then it would have to be real negative value WITH picks.

Every deal I posted I feel OKC gonna have to pay somebody. His contract + age =

Minny is my most likely option as it won't cost future assets for OKC. They need a PG the most. Teague, Dieng and Wiggins for CP3 and Gallo.

cp0 to the Hornets

[fact]

Morey continues to be, by far, the most overrated general manager in basketball.

But he is willing to take big risks, which I would prefer to gms that don’t do a fukking thing

I love the NBA

Nba going into next decade with fukkery. All these damn duos

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

Of course it doesn't. When you're dealing with contracts of that magnitude, not much would make sense though.

As I said, CP3 will accomplish 2 things:

1. It gives SGA someone to learn from

2. It keeps them competitive (and before anyone asks, but why?) They could trade CP3 for nobody and still not be the worst team in the West and 2020 is a heavy PG class. If they need anything in particular they can move anywhere in the draft.
