    So you think this was a Daryl type move? Or James? Or Tilman?

    SCENE- A moonlit dock in the Bahamas, Mike Dantonio and Daryl Morrow are conversing

    Mike: is this gonna work out? Is this really a good idea? The logistical thing is kind of a cluster.

    Daryl. **** it. Let's just do it and be legends

    I can’t believe some of y’all are upset but wanted us to get Jimmy Butler without giving up anyone. This trade will be iconic.

    Surprisingly enough they're more level headed about the whole thing than we are and some are even pulling for us. Russ was like their god, they'll never turn on him. I wished this fanbase had even a fraction of that devotion for Harden.

    CP seems to cause issues wherever he goes. Blake tried to flatten him during the Clippers rematch lol. Dwert....well his history is rather lengthy as well.

    I believe the rebounding part but how did our defense improve? Russ sucks at defense. How did Harden's assists improve? This guy can't shoot.

    Harden pushed for this trade so he can spend more time at the clubs. Now the blame wont fall squarely on his shoulders.

    You just put 2 losers on the same team . Harden quits in playoffs and Westbrook couldn’t win **** with Paul George . Morrey has done an amazing job destroying the franchises next 6 years . Analytically cp3 is a far better player in our offense . Now we get a guy who will take a lot of shots away from harden and can’t hit a 3 . This has the smell of desperation . Cp3 will be laughing when Lakers beat us in playoffs. How anyone can justify this is just refusing to see how bad this will be for us . Look up cp3 analytics vs Westbrook and than let me know what you think . Lebron is jumping for joy

    Matching egos to harden was proving to be an issue with Dwight howard then cp3.

    People are way overlooking the coworker aspect. Supposedly harden are good buddies and can yell at each other like brothers and hug it out.

    I think matching someone to go with hardens ego was and has been a big challenge. Very overlooked. Harden is a pain in the ass. Coincidentally westbrook and harden are both diva pains in ass but somehow they are friends from old days and with the history and time together on okc too they have something. This is a big deal.

    If the reports are true this was harden our best player wanting someone.

    People question how they will mesh when its basketball and they are good players that have played together.

    Also note none of this probably would have happened had duramt not busted his leg or kwahi went to clips.

    There are a finite number of all stars and when okc went into fire sale mode westbrook became available.

    Morey is genius as usual. The guy is a living god im going to try to meet him at some point and see if he will be my friend.

    a lot depends on if westbrook's atrocious shooting season last year was the start of a sharp decline or just an off year before a bounce back. if last season is a trend, he could realistically become unplayable faster than paul (in time, not age). or he could average 23/11/8 and be a fastbreak monster for us that paul could never be and it works out perfectly. definitely one of the least comforting trades for an mvp still in his prime i've ever seen.
