    He paid 4 picks for WB who shot 29% from 3 last season.

    What do you mean swindled? LOL! Even if the Rox win a ring next year they paid above market price for the biggest chucker and blackhole in NBA history. Teams weren't lining up to get him that's why he got sent to his preferred team which is the Rox.

    I will always support Rox players no matter what but it'll take a minor miracle for CF to be happy with this trade by midseason. Westbrook has to shoot way better than he ever has in his entire career if he is gonna be better than CP3 was for us. For all the crap he got CP3 still shot 35% from 3 last season that's amazing spacing and exactly what Harden needed, 29% last year and career 30% from 3 is the opposite of the dude we want next to Harden.

    I'm right here and we got lucky with this, kudos to Morey for pulling something off to appease Harden more so than anything. What we've learned this off-season again is that players run this **** much more than GMs do.

    lol just watch us, we will be awesome next season. So he isn't a good three point shooter.................it isn't the only thing he does. Now we have a backcourt that can not only score at will, but also get the other team in to crazy foul trouble early in games

    three point shooting percentage isn't the only thing players need to be able to do

    the 4 picks are not that bad either, great protections on them

    On the Rox system with James Harden 3 pt shooting is literally the only thing you need to do.

    But I hope you are right and the Rox are awesome next season, we do need a heart and WB might be able to provide that.

    Risky move. With cp3s decline this is a wash in terms of talent/fit. But the fact is Russ is younger which theoretically extends our window if it turns out to be a good fit. More importantly the buzz of having 2 recent MvPs (regardless of fit) is gonna draw some vets looking for a championship to take a discount.

    They might change the game plan a little bit and when you think about it, Harden and Westbrook might not play much together. Westbrook might be like CP3 and run with the second unit at the start of the second and 4th quarters

    OP,

    those people are busy and rushing to buy the tickets for the coming season of games between the Clippers and the Rox.

    We all can’t wait to see how Bev will go after Westbrook’s knee again.

    What a great time to be alive!

    Well, he did "something." Time will tell. If it doesn't work out, it is going to be a very long rebuild. Morey never drafted well, so giving away our future drafts is likely a net zero.
