    It was your hero Morey who gave him the contract. You believe Morey and Harden can do no wrong. Go ask Harden why he got CP3 here fully understanding he will get the max and Morey why he gave such an albatross contract.

    Hell no. If he trades CP3 for Westbrook....GM of the year. I know there is lots of hate for him here on this board...but that is a flat out steal. Westbrook>>>>CP3.

    Nah Cp3 is better if you actually want to win games.

    As limited as he is I take Cp3 he has a working 3 pt shot and knows how to distribute the rock. Westbrick as his name implies does nothing but chuck up shots and if you think Cp3 is a mess without his quickness wait till Westbrick lose his hops.

    This is classic CF y'all are all for Westbrick when we get him and he sucks suddenly y'all just knew all along it wouldnt work.

    How many people here threw a fit when Bev was traded for Cp3? But now if you read the posts here everyone just knew Cp3 was gonna decline lmao

    Westbrick playoff TS% last year: 46.6%
    Cp3 playoff TS% last year: 55.7%

    How many people thought Cp3 played like a scrub in the playoffs last year? Westbrick shot even worse, the last thing you need alongside Harden is a stat padding chucker who can't shoot straight.

    Yeah, for sure. If Westbrook came it would be a huge mistake

    You have a VERY inflated view of CP3. Which games did he actually help win this year?

    Oh, so he never actually got any of those triple doubles, then?

    I think it would take some time to work it out, BUT Westbrook definitely >>>> CP3, so by all means, give it a shot.

    Rockets currently have ONE superstar. That isn't going to get it done. They need another.

    I did, and posted so. I thought it was a good pickup when they got him, but that they were over a barrel and threw funny money at him for the extension. Declining skills AND an injury history that was only likely to get worse? That worth $40M/year? Hell no.

    Again, which GAMES did CP3 cause us to win??? He played one good game against the Warriors, and we lost that one. I honestly can't think of one.

    The forum is a mess.... majority of the people clearly dont watch basketball.

    WB44>>>CP3

    We give picks and CP3..Thunder get the picks and a player with less money and less years on his deal.

    Rockets get their PG next to Harden.

    Westbrook and Harden would set this league on fire.
    2 MVP types.

    Clutchfans is off the meds if they think otherwise.

    Off the top of my head, CP3 won a game against the Warriors with the bench and no Harden.

    Those saying yes to the idea are either too young to have seen SF3 play or too senile to remember how frustrating it was.

    Can you read? The point is, he's younger, healthier and has a better contract.
