    I've never played it, but maybe they will make a 2020 one this year, certainly makes a lot of sense with all the duos out there.

    Have you guys never seen Westbrook rebound?? This isn’t a positive to his game... at all! His fishing for rebounds is actually one the things that many people think is a detriment to the team with his piss poor defense and ability to get the team into the offense quick enough to avoid an isolation with Russ taking a crappy shot in the end.

    Ugh...

    You can’t help being as dense as a backboard. I have my own opinion about this deal, and it is obviously too nuanced for your “mind” to wrap around. Go argue with someone else, junior.

    i see capela needing to be moved for a 3pt shooting big even more necessary now. WB's biggest strength is driving/slashing into the paint, but especially this past season he wasn't able to convert against defenders there. he would needs his own version of brook lopez to open it up

    I think the guys from the Ringer bring up a great point about Russ...that he basically stepped aside last season so PG13 could go for the MVP and just stood aside for him.

    I don't think he's a seflish player, I think it's just he's super confident and thus believes him taking over is the only way the team can win the game.

    Rockets still have their upcoming picks and a few other tradeable assets at their disposal.

    Sign our guys, lock up Tyson and continue to find guys to build around the new duo of Harden and Westbrook (still trying to warm up to that idea)

    Very surprised this trade happened. Still shocked that I was sold yet another dummy by the newsletter I subscribe to

    Now and then, Russ will get you 15 rebounds and boundless energy, some things this team needed badly.

    dude has some of the worst trouble with actual basketball dialogue and all the aspects that go along with it.

    With one hell of a drafter. Like I told my brother presti did a good job on pg13 get the picks dont drag ut out. N here too. I got presti as the best gm in the NBA. Yea he made some bone headed moves letting kd go for nothing.

    But his job I think is harden then anyone else's in the NBA. Thunder is not only a small market but a young franchise, new. He could of had his teams be the Charlotte Hornets. He kept kicking the can on guys n turning them into other good players via trade.
