    Good thing Westbrook isn't 6'1.

    And yeah we'll pretty much never recoup the value he brings to the team in a trade. however if we can get like a DeMarcus Cousins I'd definitely trade him while his value is sky-high. Ideally we'd have like a Irving or Westbrook as our guard next to Harden.

    Any superstar next to Harden mostly would be good as long as they don't clash but one of those guards wouldn't be the best choice. We have some decent guards. If we landed a Westbrook or Irving I would just use them as trade assets for a rebounding big or a dominate forward. Replace Ariza for Leonard and the s*** would get serious real fast.

    Avery Bradley is listed as 6'2 so technically he doesn't qualify

    I
    I think it's a combination of his quickness and awareness.

    The ESPN only 3rd guy to do 17/7/6 blah blah blah, so what about a guy that does 22/6/6?

    ESPN just looks for narratives

    I like Beverley, but until last night I love him, seriously. This guy truly loves the game, he plays and enjoys the game. The trash talking he does is for fun, at the end of the game you can see him schmoozing with his enemy. Bullard asked him about having have the most rebounds for his team last night, of course Beverley was dumbfounded he didn't know. He clearly doesn't play for stats, I hope he stays as long as Harden. If he was Ryno's height, he could of been Dennis Rodman, high energy and doesn't give a damn about what you think. Rockets true #2 player.

    If we have traded him for Shumpert I would have fainted.

    This guy needs to be given another extension.After the Harden raping of the Thunder deal, this might be Morey's best move finding this guy somewhere in Russia. Modern day Vernon Maxwell without the off the court issues

    I was down on Bev last year only because it seemed like he got paid and lost some of that fire that makes him the player he is, but he has completely turned it around this season. I love his "started from the bottom & now I'm here" story. I hope he retires a Rocket because he exemplifies what this team should be about!

    my co worker (Spurs fan) thought it would be a good idea for the Rockets to trade him for Iman Shumpert. Never wanted to punch someone so bad.

    Love his grit hustle and determination. He's getting back to his Mr. 94ft days and pestering the opposing PG. I just need him to hit a few more 3s, arch on your shot Bev, arch!!!

    I love his heart, hustle, passion and Energy. He is a player well beyond the stats. The number of KEY offensive rebounds he grabs, the odd steal here or there down the stretch. Often are not recognized by box score impact but they are big plays.

    Besides that he is a vocal leader of this team and stands up for the team. No one faces him. He will go against any player. Doesn't give a **** about reputation or what others around the league think of him. He ain't there to make friends.

    I loved the way he reacted to 7'2" or whatever DeAndre Jordan. Bev is a small man with a big heart. DJ is a big dude on the outside but a p***y on the inside.

    Forget that. If Russell Westbrook had the heart and soul of Bev, the unselfish attitude, and if I actually liked him, then he would be Patrick Beverley v2.
