    Difference is Chris Paul's whole contribution does not manifest itself in only scoring, he makes the whole team better.
    Brodie is more of a lone soldier, passing only to shooters, he is a better scorer n rebounder but he isn't elevating the team as much as Harden or especially Chris Paul.

    A balanced offense would be darn cool with everyone touching the ball on possessions.

    No problem if you disagree, you're probably one of the most agreeable disagreeing type.

    Somehow, it seems the Rockets, Thunder, and Clippers all got better with their trades (so far).

    It's my understanding that Clemons can't be traded.

    Paul gets a little too much credit at times. If it wasn't for that clippers trade, he wouldn't have much to work with. SGA has been outstanding on that team. In Westbrooks last 12 games we have won 10. In Paul's they are 9-3. You say that Westbrook passes to shooters........that is our game plan. It is what Harden does. Westbrook averages more assist than Paul as well

    In the playoffs there would be alot more game planning against him, and he cannot be load managed, no back to backs.

    Good thing I only kill time during the regular season, I do not really take it seriously. Have it your way. :oops:

    i have been taking a wait and see approach on the Westbrook trade. I thought there were too many folks willing to slam it before we saw how things worked. I still think we need more time to properly judge who got the better of the trade. That said, i expected more progress integrating Russ' game into the team dynamic than has been the case up to this point. I put some of that on the fact that it takes time, some of it is on MDA, and some of it is on Russ (Harden too). I will admit, i'm starting to get nervous that this will never truly work; that we won't maximize what Russ does best, while maintaining what Harden does well. I'm gonna wait till after the all star break to pass judgement, but i'm nervous

    OKC for the simple reason that Chris Paul is better than Russell Westbrook. It's that simple.

    Winning is more important that whether or not you like your teammate, yes? Kobe didn't like Shaq. Pippen didn't like Rodman. But you deal with it and win. Rockets would be much better if they had Paul than Westbrook.

    Why would OKC make that deal? SGA is the better player to have over Westbrook going forward. And why would OKC hand Gallo to you for nothing? You wish.
