    Cyberx et al have been quiet. With this kind of thing out there I imagine they’ll be sharing some insight soon.

    As much as I dislike Westbrook I would do it. A dumb, low IQ MVP candidate in his prime is still better than a high IQ, washed up, injury-prone player who hasn't had much success in the playoffs. But OKC has no reason to do it at all.

    I love CP3 while he is here but with his monstrous contract he's going to waste Harden's prime and make the Rockets stuck in mediocrity for years to come.

    I’m sure Morley and crew had a good chuckle while throwing this idea around today...

    We should have pulled the trigger on this trade. Harden will be asking to be traded by all star break. Get ready for it.

    He stated that as if it were a fact not an assumption - I'm just asking for clarification. Is it fact or assumption. Or did I take that out of context ?.

    This is fake, why would Morey trade for Westbrook.
    I’ll take Cp3 over Westbrook just because he won’t hold the ball as much as Westbrook.

    If Cp3 and Harden has issues sharing the ball with Russ it would be worse.

    Shooting accuracy in the most important for guards.

    Usually the star trade needs a blue chip young player plus picks. Morey has never prepared for this type of young players.

    I agree with the previous poster this will be a implosion of epic porportions if the Rockets traded for Westbrook. It would be much more entertaining to see Westbrook get traded to the Jazz.

    Let's stop going after stars who share the same position as Harden. That was a big mistake. Paul should have never been signed here without 100% certainty a "Jimmy Butler" or "Paul George" was coming along with him. I'd take an upgrade at the wing over Paul any day. Eric Gordon and Austin Rivers are more than enough.
