    He's probably going to run Beal out of town with the style that he plays. Probably best to not have Russell Westbrook. I'm glad he is their problem now.

    If LA is his end destination (Clippers, Lakers unlikely atm) then he'd bide his time.

    He'd fit in the enforcer role if nothing else.

    They all end up in their hometown, sooner or later.

    And Beal is going to go to a 'real contender' with or without Russ, that much is pretty clear.

    The Heat and Warriors should be after marksman Beal.

    I think that's pretty much a guarantee, nobody likes playing next to Westbrook....now sure a lot of players have said that they did....after they took the first opportunity to get the hell off his team.

    Westbrook runs EVERYONE out - Ibaka, Durant, Harden, George - the guy is the worthless stats all star.

    If only we had a player with Harden's skills and Westbrook's tenacity.

    Harden and Westbrook are the same. They cant lead a team, but they can dam sure hold one for hostage.

    He still can’t shoot worth a damn in the playoffs.

    What team in Houston has Harden been on that should have won the title but didn’t?

    I'm not going through this again. You know, you just don't want to admit it.
    You're just like me with Deshaun Watson. I want so much for him to be perfect. But by doing that, I'm ignoring his flaws.

    One plays with Stars in their prime and runs them of town with his low BBIQ.

    The other takes aging stars to the WCFs, and then injuries derail the team. If CP3 wasn't old he'd still be here. Sometimes its about circumstances. Wish we coulda paired Harden up with PG or someone younger that would have fit his timeline and allowed them to grow together. Instead we got an Old Dwight and Old CP3. Two all time great players but not that great on the Rockets. CP3 first year was great. That was our year to win it all, and I dunno if we will ever get over that hamstring injury.

    I agree with everything you wrote except for calling Dwight an all time great.
