Westbrook pushes fastbreaks better and his passing and driving ability > paul pounding away shot clock

this trade would be terrible for the clippers.

A couple months ago I was thinking this could work because Chris Paul tends to pass up shots he should be taking and was dribbling out the clock on many possessions. It seemed like he wanted to be the assisting pass on every play and that fukked up the flow of the offense.

But now its all good because Blake stepped up and he's hitting his jumpers, and CP3 saw this and took a step back. He's swinging the ball more now and Blake and Jamal have more chances to create

thunder would win the finals if you swapped cp3 and

Can someone explain why Westrbook is called Sabo and what Sabo means?

Not really, the fact that Russ pushes the ball will help Blake. When CP3 stops the fast break and stands there dribbling and Blake is staring at him waiting for what he's going to do, that doesn't play to Blake's strengths. Blake is athletic as hell, and so is Russ, so if he can push the ball he can get it to Blake quickly and they can end up maximizing their athletic advantage and get those fast break points, and Blake will get more touches.

The Thunder will benefit because CP3 will get that ball to KD more than Russ, and he can also score when need be.

Few counterpoints I'd like to make.

First off, your whole argument is predicated on what will "help Blake" or playing to "blakes strengths" and not what will "help the Clippers" like my post said.

Clippers are already 2nd in the league in fast break points, you make it sound like CP3 is severely hindering their fast break opportunities, which isnt true.

You talk about Blakes strengths being the fast break....if you watch him often this season, or even more so when CP3 was out, you'd see the reason he's having such a great season this year is because he's playing with the ball in his hands a lot more, and not just trying to eat off fast break points. His overall game is more well rounded. The team this year is built for playoff success....not padding stats for Blake Griffin.

Blake Griffin would certainly not get "more touches" with Russ running point instead of CP3 I dunno how you can come to that conclusion. Unless you're saying they'd be forced to run some kind of super up tempo offense....like 2004 Phoenix Suns or some shyt. But again I cant see how that would translate into more wins for the Clippers nor any type of playoff success.

Sabo is short for sabotage

 

[Sir Ulysses Spiegel]

I wasnt saying Russ was better at passing than paul just thzt he is tons more capable than when he first entered the league.

And everyone know blake is the number one option so how does maximizing athletic ability not a win for the clippers?

 

[Jplaya2023]

Westbrook for Rondo + picks or pieces makes too much sense.

Rondo already proved he's a championship caliber point guard

by sitting on the bench and allowing eddie house and old man sam cassel steal his minutes in the finals

Playing to Blake's strengths will absolutely help the clippers, they need Blake to play well if they're going anywhere. You said yourself the reason he's doing so well is because he has the ball in his hands more, hence the clippers are doing better. When CP3 was out, Blake had to step up and they were winning games without Chris as you said.

You mentioned the Phoenix Suns offense back in 04, and yes they can achieve that because Russ pushes the ball more so than Chris who up until very recently this season has preferred to walk the ball up and go to work at half court. He still does it, but it's clear he's been told to give the ball to Blake more. I really think that team would flourish even more in a more up tempo style, which is more suited for Russ, not CP3.

 

[VladTheImpaler]

Makes too much sense for both sides. Both their styles compliments the other team significantly more than their current teams. Next offseason this needs to come up and I can almost bet it does. Thunder will never get the most out of Durant with sabo jackin up his shots look how durant catching shyt since west been back. Heat fakkits can hardly contain themselves.

Westbrook athletic explossive nature matches clippers perfect as he will waste no time moving the ball. Plus outside of crawford they are so ASS on the perimeter westbrook jumper will be more aporeciated. not like cp3 uses his midrange anyway.

breh, where did the "sabo" name come from....

 

[Sir Ulysses Spiegel]

Idk been seeing that used since I was a lurker. Thunder fans seem content with it
