    Your insane if you think Westbrook is better then Paul.

    Also why is Adams better then Capela?

    No chance in hell they're shelling out $300 million next season. There will have to be some serious restructuring of contracts and/or trades of key players.

    This is the reason I never get excited over all the hype. For months all people posted was how this trade was coming, blah blah, blah. What a crock. So we have 1 better guard now, but does our GM think that is enough? Did we really get a whole lot better at any other positions?

    I would have loved Melo on the team but lets not forget Ryno shot 40% from 3 last season WHILE SUCKING AT HOME. I expect him to get a lot better with CP3 helping Harden run the offense and take more of the opposing team's attention on defense. Just please don't suck again in the playoffs, Ryan!

    OKC at the start of summer had 3 bad albatross contracts.
    They traded TWO of them for two all stars.
    If you told me then I would have laughed at your face.

    This is disappointing but I stand by not including Ariza, Gordon, or Capela. I think Morey would have given a pick had that been the hold up.

    I'm insane thinking the MVP of the League is better than Chris Paul (who's underachieved on every team he's ever been on / injury prone)

    Adams is ahead of Capela. He actually has a game outside of alley oops.

    No surprise at all here.
    Stupid teams do that. Indiana, Bulls, Bucks are all been trading with this factor in mind.

    Has anyone checked out Sam Presti's #SLEEVES? Because they are vast.

    Yep.

    I mean it is likely all 3 guys aren't on the team next year but at least Oladipo and Kanter aren't either.

    And we couldn't unload our one atrocious one in Ryan Anderson

    Ryan Anderson has cost us Paul George, Melo, and will cost us CP3 next summer.
