Run TMC parallels if Russ joins Rockets with CP3 staying?

@Plowman jinxed it:

 

I'm one of a few that want him here.

Jeez you're like:

 

I dont see how this works. If all 3 start HOU gets even smaller then normal small lineups.
Could CP3 be our new 6th man?
Maybe that is a sorta fix for the rumored beef between Harden & CP3. CP3 full time 2nd unit.

 

LA wants all the small forwards
Houston wants all the point guards

 

I assume you're speaking from the perspective of 3 guys on the same team who shoot often?

The obvious difference is that Run TMC was a PG, SG and SF.

Run TMC only last 2 season but '91 was their best. Mullin averaged 25.7 on 17.7 FGA, Richmond averaged 23.9 on 18.5 attempts and Hardaway scored 22.9 on 18.9 attempts.

Of course, Run TMC only won 37 and 44 games in their two seasons together. Obviously, that was in the era of the great big men so it was different than todays game.

I still have a hard time believing that the Rockets would acquire Westbrook...with or without CP3.

 

Westbrook is such a terrible shooter from outside, but what he brings around the boards, on defense, energy.. he'd be a success here.

The run tmc comparison made me laugh at first because Hardaway, Mullins and Richmond could flat out shoot the rock. Of course, so can Paul and Harden. Russ.. not much of a shooter but a helluva player. Two former MVPs playing together sounds good to me.

 

ppl said cp3+harden would never work...

imagine with cp3+harden+westbrook, the media would have an aneurysm.

 

Westbrook to the Knicks. That's what I want to see. Carmelo V2.0. Lol
