Oh shyt I do remember that Luke Ridnour situation! Wow, double throwback in your post.

So as long as CP3 is traded alone with some picks, should be fine...correct?

Btw, may have been answered already here - but did Morey pretty much use the same package he offered Minnesota for Butler last year to land Westbrook (4 picks)??

Only difference is in the butler trade, the rockets included Eric Gordon instead of cp3

I sorta feel like the Rockets take an L, unless Russ finds the fountain of youth :francis:

Are they going to enforce their 3 point shot or layup/dunk rule on Westbrick? Last year he made 1.5 out of 5.5 from three, O Antoni about to have him taking between 8 and 10 a game :mjlol:

well........you have a point about the low IQ thing with both of them individually.. If they play a lot of ISO ball, harden takes his turn, then westbrook takes his turn then they won't have any prosperity.. Who will swallow their ego first?

Harden is not the 6th man he was when he played with Westbrook like he was in OKC. "In a perfect world", I would hope wesbrook would conform and they could play like a cohesive unit. But zebras don't change their stripes, especially this late in the game. Player for player, Westbrook is a tremendous upgrade over paul BUT I think eventually this new Houston duo won't work and it will be a pissing contest come playoff time...
CP3 worked with Hatden because he has GOAT-level bball IQ. Now you match the biggest playoff choker in history with a PG so low-IQ they call him Sabotage. This is gonna be fun to watch. :mjlit:



It’s more about the part where they have acquired a point guard on the decline that’s going to cost $124 mil.
They don't give a shyt about the next 2-3 years. This is a pure tank move for OKC, but they knew they were going nowhere with Sabo anyway.

is OKC roster even that bad coming out of this?

not saying they gonna make the playoffs, but they seem closer to 8th/10th seed than bottoming out completely.

assuming they don't get rid of adams and paul before the season starts.
