    Austin Rivers is ranked 381 on DRPM, and Gordon 427 on DRPM. We all know Gordon and Rivers are both solid defenders, and clearly much much better defender then Melo.

    I used to be all about RPM stats, but it's hard to take it too seriously with it being clearly flawed for many players.

    trading for Russ while still having having CP0 on the roster would be 1 of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen in my life...so unless CP0 is getting traded, Russ shouldn’t even be talked about

    That's what I thought the first time I heard about Westbrook coming here. That we might get something out of it by helping to grease the wheels for another team getting him. My other thought is that we would be crazy to do get Russell ourselves. Absolutely nuts. Surely Tilman isn't pushing this? I still don't have a clue as to what's going on in our new owner's brain. Alexander, I sort of understood after awhile. Tilman? Who knows? Someone is leaking s**t like a sieve, and I don't think Morey is doing all of it.

    Thought I might point something out. He's 6'3"!!

    Glad I'm not the only one freaking out at the mere thought of getting the guy!

    The only dude on OKC we need to be targeting is Gallo.
    That dude fits our 4 spot like a glove

    I hate to say this, but you have to admire Presti when compared to our front office. He dealt with a disgruntled tandem in house and engineered a trade that came through player demand, landing five picks and two players, without a single leak. Not one story or insider report. This team thinks out loud and it's on Twitter same day.

    Please no...just sign the best FAs out there and move on already. More chasing stars (in this case a selfish, inefficient, overpaid one) while the role players we need get signed. In the end, they'll move him to NY or Miami. smh...

    I know he’s 6’3 was referring to him doing everything we need from our wing position tho.

    I think ORPM is a lot better than DRPM. DRPM seems all over the place. It seems like DRPM has very few false positives (most players with high DRPM are very good defenders) but it does have a lot of false negatives (many players with bad DRPM are not bad defenders).

    This would not be my choice but
    Harden and Westbrook did work well together.

    It all took place over like three days. It's a lot easier to keep that quiet when it happens quickly. There were no leaks when the Rockets acquired Harden either.

    Also, I'm not applauding Presti for ****. You guys are mad Morey hasn't built a championship roster around Harden. Presti had Durant, Harden and Westbrook and this is what happened.

    Whatever. But my video WAS correct in the Rockets possibly trading for Westbrook, in which a few of you slow bus posters shrugged off. Now it's being reported by the mainstream media. So the idiot is you not me sir. Ur welcome
