    The prospect of RW joining the Rockets has gotten me thinking back to the good ole days. I started to look up some vids of Tim, Mitch, and Chris to post, and there was an article by Fran where Hardaway was comparing the current Warriors team to that. But, with the addition of Russ, WE might very well have an evolved version of it.... a better version.

    the things that you say generally never occur. I take much Comfort Inn you prostituting out this idea. I have always admired your optimism.

    At this point, we either stick with our roster from last season and stay healthy and motivated and push OR bring in Westbrook (if there's any chance) before the training camp and see how far we get. I'm done with making changes to the roster in the middle of the season or "by April".

    I would love this only for the Rockets/Clippers games. Westbrook vs George. Harden vs Kawhi. Bev vs Westbrook. CP3 vs former team. Lou Williams vs Eric Gordon (battle of 6th man). Austin vs daddy.

    It's still taking some effort for me to even wrap my mind around Westbrook as a potential Rocket..

    No, 3 guys who need the ball as opposed to 1. Not similar at all. Sorry. On top of that, we have guys with serious attitude issues.

    Honestly, Russ is a great player it's just his attitude and head that is questionable. If he was willing to switch to small forward and allow Harden and Paul to run the offense then I'd welcome Russ with open arms to this team.

    No, the serious attitude issues these days lie in half the board/some of the folks already in this thread.

    Do you even know what Run TMC is? How old are you? You're just here to pile on with your usual negativity. Pathetic. Stay out of my thread.

    Is this supposed to be a positive comparison?

    Those team weren't all that good. Cool yes, good, not really.

    that duo would become a trio tho, and CP0 is no Brickbrook when it comes to being a ball hog, always having an insane usage rate, being terrible off-ball, or making dumb decisions

    At 6'3"? I get that RW is super athletic but I just don't see the fit. Not to mention his head is really a problem, he isn't as good of a shooter as he thinks he is. I'd rather keep what little depth we have.

    That's why I said evolved, Ziggy. More guys that can handle the rock...a better group of finishers..as well as being able to stick it from deep with WIDE open looks...CC getting easy buckets inside...
