CP3 wanted screens because he lost a step and couldn’t win one on one in isolation.......but he was still surrounded by spot up shooters. Trying to get them to slash to the basket and create was asking too much. CP3 goes to OKC where they are constructed differently......had Shroder and Gilgeous-Alexander to help carry him in a Covid-19 shortened season. OKC knows CP3 can’t finish a season as the main guy or second / third guy.
Hes a better shooter and ball handler. He does NOTHING else better. Thats why they were in the lottery. Check out his defensive statistics last year.
Its a minor upgrade from the shooting front. But unless we're signing Shaq to play PG for us, its hard not to get an upgrade in the 3pt shooting department. He is either a good shooter or he isn't. 32% on low volume isn't going to cut it. How many starting PGs in the NBA have a worse outside shot than Wall? Please name 5. I'll give you a head start. 1. Westbrook 2. 3. 4. 5.
I can see it already the young Japanese stud going full kamikaze mode when westbrick starts his hero ball turnover parade.Will destroy his development
I feel like you guys are not following me. I know Morey didn't want to trade CP3. I know Morey doesn't like Tilman. You think Morey is going to do his best work when he is disgruntled and trading a player he thinks is his second best acquisition, one of the best players to play the PG position and the best possible fit next to his favorite player James Harden? No he's not. Morey didn't try and you can tell. oh and forgot he had to go back on his word when he told CP3 that he wasn't going to be traded. I mean come on. Morey was very mad when he was hitting send on that tragic Russ trade. Morey def did not give a f*ck.
I’m willing to give it a chance. Throwing out all preconceived notions on Wall’s game. It’s a new day and new team. With the additions of Wood and Cousins we won’t be relying on Wall to be an all-star. Just need him to be solid in his role. I’m hoping he has a lot to prove now that he is back. With all the changes, should be an exciting season, I’m ready for it!
We should’ve just suspended and fined him but in this soft ass league we had to give in. Just a plain b**** move by Westbrook.
As if this night wasn’t already weird enough, we have a poster in here seriously arguing that Westbrook is either A) a better player than Bradley Beal, B) a better asset, or maybe even both.
Westbrook is quicker...................that is it. Without his athleticism, he would be a very ordinary NBA player Westbrook isn't a good defender at all
Yes I loved that mid range shot. It was like a layup. I was waiting for CP3 to shoot it during the Warriors playoff series. CP3 did nothing until that final game. And then bit**** at Harden for not doing more after game 6 knockout.
Got to flip him when value is at max, he is already 30 with horrible leg injuries history. And his game is based on speed and hops.
