    Also, why is Chris Pau's WS and WS/48 worse than last year, when he played with Blake Griffin? By your theory, shouldn't it be better? lol

    WB has been an MVP caliber player 2 years on a row.

    One year without Durant.

    One year with Durant


    Very high win shares both seasons.

    Perfect example of why you're WRONG.

    Who is Chris Pau?

    Lol, Chris Pauls highest win shares year was on NEW ORLEANS.

    Keep coming up with example that prove you wrong

    Stop being an idiot and answer my question.

    WB's WS is higher with Durant.

    CP3's WS is higher with Griffin.

    Explain that.

    When he was at the prime, so completely unrelated.

    WB's WS is higher with Durant, than when he was not.

    CP3's WS is higher with Griffin, than when he was not

    All happened within a year, so not a a lot has changed with player's overall ability.

    Explain that.

    WB is an aggressive player, has all the tools to dominate on the offensive end at least.

    When he is not injured.

    You're just taking a coincidence (who their teammates are) and giving the credit to the teammates instead of them.

    Look WB without Durant last year or Paul before he played with Griffin. Both very high win shares.

    Have you looked up the formula? It doesn't actually include wins or teammate stats like you seem to think

    Well, the goal's not to maintain/increase Harden's win shares, so I'm sorry I brought it up. The main deal we all agree on: 1) Dwight is seriously overpaid. 2) Rockets would be better spending that money elsewhere.

    The more interesting questions are: 1) Who should we target to get us where we want to be? 2) What are our chances of actually getting those players?

    You're just wrong, Paul's win shares were higher in New Orleans.

    WB improved his win shares last year, when Durant was hurt, and improved them again this year, with a healthy Durant.

    Besides what the heck is your point? Your original point was that Hardens teammates suck. Now you're arguing that Harden has high win shares because of his teammates

    You're talking about way back then, when CP3 was much younger and was in prime, so completely different player.

    I'm giving you an example that happened within a year, so CP3's ability is not the issue. Do you even understand?

    He improved because last year was when he entered his prime. And his WS is even better even with Durant this year. Do you even understand?

    are you dyslexic? I'm saying it's easier to amass WS when your team is winning, and in order to win you need elite players on your team who can help you to win.

    Yeah he's overpaid because his max is higher from service time, and we had to pay the max to keep him.

    As far as finding another star, it's always a low chance. That's why we tried to trade DMo, to get another valuable asset
