    Two years ago: "How can two ball-dominant guards like Harden and Paul possibly coexist in the same backcourt? It'll never work!"
    Answer: It worked beautifully, as least until it didn't anymore.

    Last year: "How can this team work a ball-dominant guy like Melo in? It'll never work!"
    Answer: It never worked; it was a miserable failure. And Biglydick abandoning us at the last minute didn't help.

    This year: "How can two ball-dominant guards like Harden and Westbrook possibly coexist in the same backcourt? It'll never work!"
    Answer: We will see.

    Or there’s another trade coming our way....
    Beal or Love
    Westbrook did play with Love in college

    To be fair alot of people think moreys analytics have gone to far. I love morey but that is a thing. So I dont think u should blame Tillman lol. Morey had what 10 years to do it his way. I'm not gonna throw a fit if someone has another idea.

    Harden didn’t make the trade Morey did.....the more I think about it we are all a bunch of idiots believing some random blogger over the actual situation. I heard Morey lined up the trade and checked with Harden if he thought it would be successful and any issues and Harden said he played with him before and they know how to work together successfully. This comes from a legitimate tv news source....not a blogger on a fan site.

    WB is a notorious, inefficient chucker
    Let's hope he'll just drive, kick out assists, or fly on the break.
    He was known to shoot OKC out of games

    Chris Paul was known to frequently be unavailable for games. A big part of greatness is availability.

    Pretty sure he shot them into more games than not though. We will see how he does with a much reduced workload. I am very cautiously optimistic despite not liking how WB plays.

    Super weird that the owner, who theoretically has the long-term perspective, pushed for a deal that surrenders far future picks, while the GM, who could be gone anytime, held back.

    Hilarious. Was “Fajita” deliberate or the spellchecker?

    I have a family friend who works close with Tilman with Landry's Corp stuff. Doesn't know anything going on with the team but told me that Tilman's son actually runs the day to day of the team. His son having a say in this trade doesn't shock me.
