    It's a lot like the Jadaveon Clowney trade. No idea until those picks come due

    Tilman likes Westbrook, because his deal is cheaper.

    Tilman os in opening talks to get an NHL team. He can't afford a Rockets team.

    I have a Question - Is OKC's Coach better this year?
    I give CP3 all the credit
    HE seems to be the Player Coach . .. . .I have never been enamored with OKC's coach

    I am good with the trade
    but CP3 is having a good year

    6 month into it, Rockets and it’s not even that close because HARDEN is happy and they are putting up surreal numbers on the daily. As a tandem at times it seems like it is almost unfair because of the potential is being met. It’s great times to be a Rocket fan. We will be lonely when the band wagoners jump off because the future is dim at best. No worries I like others are here for life.

    There was also 2 first round picks involved, so one has to be 2 first round picks better than the other.

    Not sure how people are forgetting this.

    I honestly won't have a finalized opinion on this until our playoffs are over.

    Tonight game can say something, wait n see
    Only post-season will tell whether we are the big winner…Russ is getting things tweaked here and there and actively changing his own game. Give him more time.

    Both teams and players benefited from this trade. Chris Paul is one of the all time true point guards to ever play. Perkins nailed it though, he plays with structure and MDA did not provide that structure, nor did Harden.

    Russ is a less structured play and excels based on talent and effort, which is a better fit with James. If he shoots good even from just the mid range, Houston could win the west and will continue to be the biggest threat to the

    So stupid. You can't win anything mid-season except individual games, and it's obvious that we've won more of those.

    Unless we win a title, or have a couple close shots, then it will very likely be OKC. Those picks won't be great, but so far CP3/Russ have been about equal (with a stronger argument on the side of CP3) so if one of those draft picks works out well for them then it's OKC.

    Again, unless we win a title. In which case we won the trade no matter what else happens.

    If Harden is Happy, then the Rockets won the trade!!

    As long as Harden is in his prime we have a legitimate chance at a chip EVERY year!!

    Go Rockets!!!

    Well I don’t know about “winning” in comparison to each other, but OKC was guaranteed to come away from the deal with a positive outcome. They are not competing for a title so the on the floor play is less important. They got the shorter contract and multiple draft picks.

    Bro, I seriously don't want you to take this the wrong way, but try reading your posts before you actually post. Believe it or not, I want to make sense of what you are saying because I can tell you are a passionate Rockets fan but sometimes its tough to decipher what you are trying to say.

    Just read your post twice before posting and ask yourself if it makes sense. The misspellings don't bother me, I don't care about that ****, I just care to understand what you are trying to say.

    And no, I won't put you on ignore, I actually want to read what you are saying. I don't have good grammer myself, I just aim my best to make my **** understandable.

    Funny how CP3 is now a winner and a great locker room presence. Everyone loves an underdog, I guess. And hates Houston
