    When you think Westbrook jerseys go on sale?

    I love how people think that draft picks automatically translate into great young players. Look at who we have drafted the last 10 years and tell me if any of them were MVP caliber or even had the potential to be......but it's all doom n gloom right?

    LOL so you have to draft an MVP for it to be a **** trade? What about role players? What about using a pick for flexibillity and sweetener?

    The second worst contract in the league we got it for 2 first round picks and 2 pick swaps.
    But it is FINE because it's not like we would have drafted MVPs...:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Wall,Westbrook, CP3 are the top 3.

    What? Are you going to claim now that the difference between the 2nd worse and the 3rd worse is two unprotected first rounders and two pick swaps?

    Because in that case, I don't have any reason to continue wasting my time talking with an ostrich.

    Some people love to just complain. Complaining were not doing anything but then complain when we make a huge change. So what are the Rockets supposed to do when the West just loaded up? Just wait it out/run it back and wait for this era to end like we did the Warriors era?

    Harden is about to be 30 in a month. We only have so many more years left with him and if this is our final "all in" move then so be it. We didn't even have to gut our roster to do this trade.

    I wouldn't have swapped CP3 for Westbrook straight up but I'm absolutely STUNNED at the draft compensation on top of it. Stunned.

    CP3 has and always will be a superior point guard. Doing nothing would've been a far safer move than this nonsense. Russell Westbrook is the antithesis of championship basketball.

    Obviously most of people disagree with you.

    WB is definitely Hall of Fame player.

    How stunned were you when you heard about what they got for Paul George?

    Im not complaining.
    I'm fcking angry.

    I almost cried in the morning when I found out about this.
    This is crap and **** and I don't even have enough words to describe my feelings. I'm wayyyy beyond complaining.

    Just let Morey resign so he can escape this trainwreck.

    Paul George is a great player. The only shocker there was that he wanted out and it happened so quickly.

    Plan for OKC is that CP3 “doesn’t play a game in a Thunder uniform," looking to move him soon, per @wojespn
