    Oh you mean the 33 year old tandem of players who were clearly out of their primes?

    By the way, Between Hakeem and Barkley, which one was the point guard, and which one was the shooting guard?

    I can't remember

    WTF are you babbling about?

    The comment I responded to was asking when the last time the Rox had two former MVPs on the team at the same time.

    Damn, you're really taking this "imitating DaDakota" thing seriously.

    If you're going to respond to my comment, understand what I was saying, king.

    1-2 = back court.

    Then state your comment better, king. 1-2 can easily be understood to mean the best two players. "How many teams have a 1-2 punch like that?" It's not my fault if you're vague.

    I never claimed they were in their prime or played guard. You're just being a tool and you know it.

    You quoted my original post about the 1-2 combo not understanding I was talking about back court combo. You're getting ethered right now, step away from the keyboard

    Lol I was thinking the same thing but obviously Harden n WB are superior players than Franchise n Mobley. However we still aren’t better than the LA teams unless we make more moves. Our offense should be good but our defense will be horrific starting with our backcourt. Clippers will be stout defensively as well as on offense with Kawhi and PG. We extended our window to win since WB is younger but I don’t think we improved that much more with this trade unfortunately

    Are we going to get Yao Ming Part II? Or did Morey kind of mess that up?

    Sure, in a dream world we would have traded for $40m of very useful pieces/ semi-stars.

    But this aint the dream world.

    Nobody wanted the corpse of Chris Paul - the only.way we could ditch his useless contract was because (a) a $40m player demanded to be traded here and (b) we still had to throw a thousand first rounders (*not actually 1,000)

    Imagine the same team, but without Westbrook, and in his place a midget who can't defend anymore, or really do anything.
    It would be much worse!

    Westbrook is closer to Moochie when it comes to being boneheaded.

    Trading Paul for Westbrook, even for the incremental improvement on offense, REALLY STINGS when you include two first round picks that could have been used to increase a term Morey is seeming unfamiliar with:

    Roster Balance.
