    Oh really,

    don’t you remember Melo and CP3 riding on the same banana before? And how did the Melo’s career end?

    Talking about friends in the NBA, lol.

    I can’t wait to hear Brian T Smith to ask those jack-a$$ questions to Russ and see his reaction.

    You really wanna compare a dynamic playmaker like Westbrook to an old spot up shooter like Melo? You're crazy buddy

    i think morey did great with the trade. Getting a top 12? ( harden, lebron, AD, kwahi, PG13, Curry, Giannis, Embid, KD, Jokic , Lillard )player in exchange of CP3, its great, its only the fit we are worried i think.
    Hopefully he will adapt, i know that they wanted to play together, so i think they will figure out how to make it work and share the ball in a way that helps the team.
    Also, this is the first time in his career that Russ has so many shooters around him, i think that will open up the lane a lot for him to be in attack mode.

    With the report that the Rockets draft picks in 2024 and 2026 *do not convey* to OKC if they are top 4 picks, makes me like the deal more. If the team falls off the Earth, the Rockets will keep them.

    This is what will happen until Hardhead ducks into that phone booth and jumps out as "Iso Man".

    Russ Westbrook is a very good player and is about to play for the best coach he’s ever had, next to the best backcourt-mate he’s ever had. These guys are so talented, they’ll be averaging at least 16 assists, 16 rebounds and 60 points just between the two of them.

    ...and then there’s Clint Capela, our top rebounder and 2nd leading scorer last year. And Eric Gordon who can score from anywhere on the court and is also capable of taking over games.

    The team got better; I don’t see how its much of a debate

    Any other GM I might agree with you …. but not Morey.

    This guy always seems to find a way when there is no way.

    After the salary dump at the last trade deadline , I was not happy. Thinking that he had really hamstrung himself going forward , no assets , a bunch of free agents and no way to improve. We only had the MLE and nothing else.

    Yet we watched as they tried to get a max contract FA - They had no business being able to acquire because of their cap situation but they had a chance because of Morey.

    Then he gets off of SeePeeFelicia's contract and brings back a league MVP for pick swaps that probably never happen and future picks that may not even convey at all due to protections.

    Never underestimate that guy …. he's one of the best , probably executive of the year again.

    He's gonna do that anyway ….

    Enough KLove yearning for God's sake, Rockets need younger healthier longer more explosive players.

    Too many old/injury prone guys on team as it us.

    Lets aquire 3-D players like Covington, AG, Chuma, etc.

    Vet min for JSimmons and 2 way for DaQuan Jeffries too.

    Not even close, brother. I'm not much of a WB fan, but this team just upgraded big time over CP3. I dont see the Rox being less than a 2nd seed now.
