    Russ will be with the Rockets with a Larry O'Brien trophy. Who needs picks?

    Good question, ask me that question again mid season......I dont know what to think right now. Im upset with the Rockets right now and i dont really know for sure who to be upset at.

    Daryl? James? Tilman? Im predisposed towards blaming Tilman because i have a lot respect for the first two but these days i dont know anymore.

    Absolute worst case, Westbrook is a top 10-12 talent. Given what the Rockets had going into this and what they gave up, idk how you can't like this trade!

    Yeah, but a least a long shot. I don't see we have a chance staying with the old squad.

    Pretty much where i'm at...Chris is just a smart and more efficient player than Westbrook, but at the same time it's hard to not consider that CP3 at this point cannot substain an entire season without injuries, even when he played last season he was rarely at his best. The West is going to be a bloodbath this season, we need a team that can go out there at his best for 82 games.

    no doubt. got so close to knocking off the warriors only to be done in by another playoff injury. if cp3 wins with the lakers i won't feel bad (i mean assuming they don't beat us).

    You mean like the ugly basketball the Rockets were predicted to have with Paul and Harden?

    All of Westbrook's ill-advised shots will now be referred to as "Kobe assists" :D

    I'm not going off anything that the media has said about this move it's my feelings on how this will go well if I'm wrong i can admit it just as i did earlier when is said i didn't think this trade would ever happen either way i will still be a Rockets fan.

    Not to be ungrateful but I’m not sure Westbrook is a better fit for the team than CP3, but he’s definitely a better player and worth his contract. It will be very interesting to see how we make this work. I’m excited but also shocked.

    No way cp3 is happy about this

    Those picks from 2024-2026 are going to REALLY hurt. I’m excited only because: 1) it’s what Harden wanted & 2) I’m interested to see Russ in MDA’s system.

    More like Harden was done watching CP0 cash checks and talk smack while getting locked up on the perimeter by Rudy Gobert.
