    Many people said the same thing when the Rockets got Carmelo Anthony. When you get a guy with so much ego, it's not just how YOU want to use him but how HE wants to play and how much distraction he will create for the team.

    I would rather have the Energizer Bunny Scott Brooks... at his current age.

    its pretty hilarious how folks still don't understand how bad westbrick is even years and years later. yall were warned before he came to houston. warned after. there's no need now really cause it just means you'll never get it

    Players just never seem to learn when it comes to wanting Westbrook on their team.

    "Wesbrook could be good for us, as long as he plays and behaves like he never has before"

    It shouldn't matter.

    The team rises and falls with Kawhi.

    If he becomes the 'healthy' Terminator that he was with the Spurs and partly with the Raps, then the West is again in trouble.

    PG13, Russ, Mook, Norman Powell, Mann are just there to play a supporting cast and win spare games here and there.

    it does matter. when you have a player who impacts the entire game negatively it absolutely comes into play. saying it all just falls onto kawhi is nonsense. so when westbrick tries to be the hero at the end of a game or turns the ball over in crucial moments, that falls on kawhi? No

    Exactly. You know he is going to take and brick mid range jumpers in the worst moments. You know he’s going to turn the ball over at the worst time imaginable. You know if they play him in the 4th quarters of close games he’s going to be a “hack-a” target because he will absolutely brick crucial free throws. There is no basketball player that can prevent and overcome this.

    Gordo was doing just fine with them. This is a weird move, because Tre Mann or EG will have to lose minutes

    Already didn't work out with a washed PG in John Wall.

    I feel like the best they have looked in the past couple of seasons has been when Reggie Jackson was playing well at the point for them. Hewas probably the catalyst in that playoff run they had 2 years back (+7ppg over his season average)

    Could prove fascinating viewing the rest of the way

    If only we could get a team to start Wall and Westbrook

    Rocket River
    I'd pay to see that comedy

    wow, Ty Lue really said that…

    I’ve come to the conclusion that Russ has hypnosis powers or gives off some sort of pheromones that make people think irrationally…this many people can’t still be that dumb

    he has catfished Harden, Lebron, and now the whole Clippers roster plus Ty Lue

    I read that Ty Lue quote in Chris Broussard's voice... He averaged a tRiPLe DoUBle!

    But but but Sengun loves JG4, they are same draft selection brothers for life, thru thick and thin, if Jalen is your least favorite player you're not a true student of the game, but just a pure fan-atic
