    Can we get Steven Adams as well :3.

    Man I’m in shock. I didn’t really want Westbrook here. And i feel bad for Cp3. I really wanted us to get a chip. He deserves one too. Guess all that talk about internal turmoil is was real after all.

    I don’t know how to feel about this. I wanted us to go back it again. We had pretty much the same team. I guess I was hoping for a Renewed or rejuvenated CP3 though. Which could have been just a fantasy more than reality. It’s sad


    Just hoping it works coz if it doesn’t next year we will blow it up and who knows when we will be relevant, as in contenders.

    Name these reasons lol...

    Fact he is elite at getting to the rim

    Fact we will have a transition offense for the first time in like 3 years lol. I miss easy points

    U can stagger them just like cp3 n have him kill the second units of any teams

    Presti is really good at drafting too, probably his best ability as a GM.

    Good point @Nook re: rebounding. Definitely 1 significant (and necessary) upgrade from this trade.

    Yup, Westbrook apparently creates the most open threes in the league so Im pretty excite for Gordon here to do his thing.I so so so agree with your MDA point as well Mike is gonna have to be hist best self and truly unlock Westbrook's offensive potential, if he can do that then we could win this whole thing.

    As for James wanting this....is very disappointing to here, I always wanted both of them to win it together so they could shatter their whole narratives. :(

    wesbrook can't shoot on a team that shoots the most 3s in the league and hangs their hat on spacing

    westbrook struggles at the free throw line

    westbrook is a horrible decision maker

    westbrook is very inefficient

    westbrook is very ball dominant

    There is a path to getting Love without giving up any rotation pieces. Morey could hypothetically trade the remaining TPEs we have 3.6M, 3.2M, 2.8M. Wait out the 60 days. Combine them with Shumpert (signed to near 16M one year deal) and send them to the Cavs + whatever picks we have left for Love.

    You could theoretically have

    WB/Rivers
    Harden/Gordon
    Tucker/House
    Love/Tucker
    Capela/Buy out

    Rockets were like a caged animal after coming up short the last two years and then being absolutely embarrassed by Jimmy Butler.

    I don’t know what Zach Lowe is smoking. Just moving Chris Paul would have required multiple picks, not to mention adding Westbrook.

    I hope you're right. The red flag that worries me the most is his behavior at press conferences... I just think you have to have the mind of a kindergartner to do what he did to that journalist.
