    Morey didn't want Capela gone. Morey had no choice because Tilman wanted Westbrook! That wasn't a championship move. That was a Ticket selling move! That's what happens when the owner tries to bite off more than he can chew! He bought a team for 2 billion and doesn't have the means to financially support it. With the loss of Chinese investors it also makes it Harder! Morey is gone after this season!

    I don't even know what you are trying to argue.Are you saying Chris Paul sucked because Harden went on a crazy tear? There's no clear explanation on why Chris Paul played badly last year.

    I think our system was too taxing on him. Hes way better off in OKC, he shot fewer 3's, more mid range, also the amount of assisted fg went way up in OKC. I think CP only had like single digits percentage assisted FG in 2019 season

    Lebron will win his 5th championship and it'll be "for Kobe".

    NBA will eat this **** up.

    Freak , you know we generally agree on things. WB does have heart, but he’s a terrible fit next to harden. Harden is a great player with flaws, but playing WB next to him amplified those flaws. CP had an amazing year here, then a bad one. I don’t think that’s cause to crucify him. His game largely relies on b-ball IQ

    cp3 woulda puncher a laker in the nuts

    cant be too hard on them for the trade , i def thought Cp3 was done athletically .
    who knows , WB could win the coin flip next year . The main reason i bet morey did not want to do the trade ( outside of 3 the stats ) is that even if Cp3 was bad the contract is shorter than WB's .

    Im sure Tilman is screaming at morey right now " YOU ****ED US " and Morey is saying back " NO , YOU ****ED US !!! "

    He was coming off an injury and came into an offense that was incredibly harden iso centric

    OK, Tilman.

    Stealing defensive rebounds from your own teammates is very important.

    westbrook jumps over larger opponents to get rebounds. he isn't an 11 rebound per game guy but he is a 7-8 rebound per game player

    The only thing I thought was good about the trade was that Westbrook had a better chance of staying healthy than Paul. You could tell in the playoffs last year that Paul was just trying not to get hurt until the last game. It would have been stupid to bet on that for another year.

    Totally disagree - we bet on Gordon - you roll the dice on better players not on injury history.

    I doubt they have a chance against the Clippers.

    Cp3 woulda got injured halfway through the season and probably miss the playoffs. We play a much faster pace than OKC and CPs old legs cannot keep up, and we'd just run him into the ground with our play style.
