    he gets to play with lebron now. no way okc is hanging onto him.

    i think they now have every pick in every draft starting in 2021.

    His shooting was pathetic last season.

    I wish he could somehow chillout on taking so many jumpers and just channel all that energy into defense, rebounding, drives, passing.

    I was actually kind of impressed by his passing last season. He was pretty good at setting up easy buckets for Adams. Should be able to replicate some of that with Capela

    This is an allin move trying to win at all costs. Westbrook can eat minutes and if he steps up his FG% and defense he will be just fine. Could wind up a total disaster though if RWB refuses to lower his usage and take awful shots. The good news is we have two guys capable of drawing a ton of fouls, just need RWB to bounce back from a terrible season.

    There are many on here crying that this is a terrible move...
    What has CP3 done this past season?
    He was a shell of what he was in his first year as a rocket.

    We gave up 2 picks to get rid of an aging CP3.
    Brodie is younger & i believe will give us a better chance since he'll be more healthy than CP3 and he's coming into Harden's team and it's no longer how he runs it in OKC.

    At least this is perhaps a better trade than any of the CP3 trade anybody in the national media had conjured up

    We got rid of the albatross that was Paul’s contract and in return got a recent MVP. Not bad. I’m excited about it.

    I like this trade. CP3 could never rise to the occasion.
