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

[tremonthustler1]

Owner didn't want to give James Harden 4 more million per year because he didn't want to pay the luxury tax and that was the end.....

His cheapness literally destroyed a potential dynasty

I'll say it again

they weren't winning shyt.

the money aspect is secondary. They didn't view Harden as anything more than a Ginobili type, and lemme see these good teams who pay 6th men max deals.

Steven Adams is going to lead the league in double doubles since RWB won't be getting free rebounds at his expense.

 

[Maude]

it set a bad precedent if the president of the players union accepts a buy out with that contract

CP3 will be waived on a stretch provision.

Nope

He's owed to much money to stretch.

The CBA doesn't allow more than 15 percent of the cap tied to dead money.

 

[Crack Daniels]

CP3 will be waived on a stretch provision.

Absolutely zero chance this happens. Do you know how much money he’s owed?

 

[Sterling Archer]

Sure, dumb nikka. I'll be looking for the danger from behind the Rockets bench....like I normally do.

Show them seat assignments stuntman. :wordmelo:

“Deep squad” 23 wins max

All up in our thread

Get off us

Ole girl dripping

Am I the only one that sees the problem of placing an inefficient chucker into the poster child team of analytics?

This has disaster written all over it.

The only place this works is in 2K

It'll be entertaining at least

What do you think about this trade. OKC ships CP3 to the WARRIORS who are in win now mode for DLO? And OKC gets a young point guard for the future in DLO?

Also, the Mavericks could trade for CP3.

Or the Clippers trade contracts, Lou Will, Pat Bev, and Harkless, and maybe another player for CP3? Not sure if it works, since OKC owns their draft picks.

Or the Blazers trade CJ for PAUL, and picks. Blazers could say fukk it, and try something new. CP3 and Dame would be interesting pairing.

Hell no

 

[tremonthustler1]

He’s still a good player but at serving a purpose

What purpose to get flipped for more assets

they got 2 picks and 2 pick swaps to take CP3. You think someone's gonna give up more picks to take him?

 

[Left.A1]

Well well well.... What do we have here?

Another poor innocent team "breaking their contract bond" with a player and shipping him out to some shyt hole city to rot away without any recourse just two weeks after being told by the teams GM that he wasn't going anywhere



My my my.... I wonder why these "selfish ego maniac" players don't appease their front offices more and acquiesce to their wishes like good LOYAL worker bee's? They need to learn their places and understand that their needs to be some trust between the decision makers and the players Dammit!

As a houston fan I wanted capela for Adam's also but this will do

There is absolutely zero chance of that happening.

Terrible basketball fit, this is gonna flop. If CP3 is healthy next year I wouldn't be surprised if OKC wins more games.​
