Brah, you always need some voice of reason here amongst all the knee jerkers and player only fans I remember you are one of the first ones to say WB will be a good one here, so credit to you
He shot an average of six 3 pointers a game with 29% 3pt fg. Now that he's a Rocket, will he be encouraged to shoot more threes? Who remembers Rockets allowing freedom for Josh Smith to jack up 3s? One of the most frustrating moments.
I think harden will have to take a big step back in possessions and let WB run plays since Harden is obviously the better 3 point shooter
I don’t like Russ as a player but I’m glad we got him without giving up Cap, Ego or Tuck. CP3 had 1 more year at best so this was the only move i could get behind. It makes us better though I’m not sure how they make it work. I’ll support WB though because I bleed rockets red.
I'm happy! We just added a star who will probably play 20 more games than Chris this year. Upgrade, check. Less injury prone, check. Better rebounder, check. Better than Butler, check. Buds with Harden, check. Triple double capable, check. More height, check. Paul's horrible contract dumped, check. Better player than I expected us to get, check. I'm onboard with this trade.
What about when Russ is leading the second unit? All I'm saying is, I truly fear MDA will let him jack up 3 pointers willy nilly because Morey doesn't want players to play to their strength, he wants them to play to analytics.
Hopefully MDA tells him to push the pace since that is one big advantage WB has over 99% of the league including Harden
This is going the make the GARM so much more hilarious once he has a bad game and we lose. I look forward to the next four years. I actually like the trade too. Makes me more excited than watching CP3. I like this whiner better. Faster pace expected.
The sneaky thing about Westbrook is he will really help our team's deficient rebounding. Obviously we need a backup C, but he will definitely help.
