    Yes of course you take this Westbrook for Embiid deal, sounds like fantasy though.

    He idolized Hakeem and has been one the players I've followed since he entered the league.

    The question is if Harden is okay with it, doubtful but I think good bigs who can space the floor or a consistent third contributer can help the current roster also.

    Unlikely trade, but if it gets done, then maybe Morey flipped teams to help out the Rockets.

    If we DO want to rebuild, trade BOTH JH and WB for Simmons + assets + fillers

    Simons and Westbrook - just pack the paint and and worry about the 1 or 2 guys who can shoot. Any good defensive team with rim protection would stop that team cold.

    Plus I don't think Morey would ever trade for Russ lol.

    Was it? He shot the highest fg% he's ever shot and he's only scored more 2 other times in his career. The assists and rebounds were down from the triple double but that was basically by design.

    Embiid is always hurt, but so is westbrook. Don't think morey will do that trade.

    sure was.

    His wins shares continued its declined to 4.2. The lowest its been since 2013. and 2nd lowest only to his rookie season. The same goes for his defensive win shares at 2.5. Same story with his offensive win shares at 1.7. All these numbers are abysmal

    a VORP of 1.8. yikes. you can look at all winning stats contributed by a player and its by far the worst season westbrick has had and just another year of his deciline.

    the counting stats of FG% and ppg is meaningless . same goes for those assist and rebounds especially when his usage % is just as high as it was in OKC


    Stack all these numbers next to Harden and oh my god its ridiculous. This was really supposed to be his robin. But he can run fast cf's said

    Every vulture of a journalist is onto the Rockets this offseason, well, I guess for a scoop.

    Lol Morey getting on bad terms with the new bosses on his first day.

    WB can't lead anything, not to say a franchise by himself.

    How would this happen, especially with Morey at the Sixer's Helm?
