    a huge adjustment of sorts by all parties. what an offseason though for sure. GS goes down and all the teams are really going for it in a wide open season

    At first I was like wtf
    Then I was like sh*t them picks
    Now I’m like screw it let’s see how this goes

    If MDA and Harden allows Westbrook the green light to slash and get to the rim we’ll be fine. If they’re going to put him in a stand and shoot roll...welll...I don’t have to go into details about that.

    I think there’s another move to be had to bring in a 3&D 3 or stretch 4 to cover Russ’ shooting deficiency. If we get Covington I would consider this off-season fireworks-worthy

    Capela
    Tucker
    Covington
    Harden
    Westbrook

    I will roll with that

    He can't. Chris Paul has a big contract.

    He wants to be here, which instantly makes him the better of the two. Keep our superstar happy and send our lesser unhappy star packing. I'm fine with that.

    If CP3 had played well last year and didn't look like he was uninterested half the time, I would have liked this trade.

    But we traded 2018-19 CP3, not 2017-2018 CP3.

    your belief that cp3 didn't want to be here is a pure guess

    Westbrook already averaged crazy assists in OKC, can you imagine his numbers here if Harden agrees to be more off the ball for some catch and shoot threes? :O

    Lol I wouldn’t put it past LeBron to get Paul on the team but all OKC would get in return are expirings. And maybe a 1st rounder starting in, what, 2028?

    I really hope they can pull off a deal like this.

    One thing is for sure. The Rockets now have the most explosive backcourt in the history of the NBA for better or for worse.

    That part is exciting.
