    you mean bad games don't exist? omg. So does game 6 not count? of course not because it doesn't fit your weak logic

    you believe harden wants to be here ? you think wall and cousins makes him optimistic about rockets chance at a title ?

    ill be shocked if he is still here at the trade deadline.

    Lol. If the trade had been Wall and the heavily protected first for Harden, THEN we’d be the Texans.

    Exactly. He is far closer to a Chris Paul for us than Russ.

    You realize your opinion on 2019 Chris Paul would’ve lead to you, GM Space City making the same dumb trade Fertitta did right?

    you guys are getting the timeline wrong on being dumb and wrong.

    you guys were wrong ALL of 2019 about CP3 and Westbrook, not just the summer after and the 2020 season.

    A “bad” CP3 is still like, Holiday or Bledsoe level.


    Badbrook, or really just playoff Westbrook? You will not even win a series with him.

    Westbrook has won one playoff series the last 4 seasons. The ugly toss up over OKC.


    He is TRULY bad, CP3 was incalculably better. But still you guys don’t get it. Most likely never will.

    Fun concept. There are actually shooters at all times on the court. A few of them can even pass.

    If Wall is being weened into a full load of minutes I'm cool with it.

    I think the team has had a good offseason.

    Silas has something to work with.

    John Wall is definitely Create, Dribble and Drive and is a One a One Player.

    John Wall literally has carried the Wizards.
    Has has Hit Clutch Shots in the Playoffs. Has a very high IQ in the Playoffs. High Assists and a Great Creator in Isolation Plays.

    Russell Westbrook is extremely robotic on his shots. Very predictable, Playoffs really exposes his Flaws. Russell is very stubborn in never accepting blame or run a play making other players better.

    His Anxiety missed Shots will not be missed.

    he was very average and not superstar level in the 4 games.

    harden being outrageous was the only reason we came back from down 0-2

    I feel like Wall is a better fit next to Harden. I do think we should have gotten a bit more value back considering Russ was all nba last season. I don't hate the trade. Paul and a 1st for Wall when you think about it is pretty hilarious though. At least he's younger than CP I guess... We'll see how he bounces back and if the hype is real. Could be a great move in hindsight and perhaps we package these picks for another player.

    Yuck lol. Now trade Harden for a plethora of picks and rebuild. Wall is trash. At least Russ played with heart and actually played.

    Can't see Harden being happy with this.

    We just traded Covington and Westbrook. We've brought in 2 guys that haven't played much in the last 2 years. Wall is a better fit for Harden, but there's no way Harden is going to happy with this trade.

    I'm not sure if Harden stays after this.

    John Wall is worse. He also never plays. They have to be trading Harden.
