    They better have to give up Roberson.

    Media can no longer say Harden has more help than Westbrick and a better team.

    This helps Harden's MVP campaign

    Weird. Didn't think OKC had much of value to offer outside of Westbrook.

    Are the Bulls blowing things up??

    Gibson is a great addition to OKC becuz of his Defense and Mid Range Game. McDermott is been struggling with his shots...maybe a change of scenery will help him

    Holy Jesus Chicago got robbed. Is Vivek making trades for them too?

    Please no more narratives about how Westbrook has a high school JV team surrounding him.

    Chicago is stupid. Bulls, Queens, Magic and Ny have no idea what they are doing

    OKC has a lot of depth. I mean damn, their frontline is tough as nails. They will beat people up inside. They also have shooting and defense and athleticism. Don't want to hear the "Russ+scrubs" narrative.

    OKC became a tougher first round matchup if they get the 6th seed. Although at least the Rockets did get Williams and may pick up another player who gets bought out.

    mcdermott basically takes over morrow's role and is a better player
