This is just wild. Bill Simmons mentioned this exact trade on his pod the other day. And how hilarious it would be watching Harden & Westbrook take turns ISOing or standing in the corner completely out of the play

I left out Thunder's Jerami Grant deal with Denver: OKC has acquired EIGHT first-round picks since draft night: 2020: Denver (1-10), 2021: Miami; 2022: LAC; 2023: Miami (1-14), 2024: LAC; 2024: Houston (1-14); 2026: LAC; 2026: Houston (1-4).


Plus swaps. Damn. Presti doing work.

They'll both play the best defense of their careers trying to steal the inbounds from each other.

That trade doesn't really make any sense for either team



To the Thunder, it doesn’t really matter if you have Westbrook or Paul, you aren’t going anywhere. You might as well take the shorter deal and the 2 picks and 2 swaps.

What are Rockets fans going to do about all of those uncontested rebounds off of missed free throws?

They're going to physically come to blows fighting over the ball at some point

Is it just me or did Sportscenter use the dumbest pics they could find of each player?

I want to hear Rockets fans defend the player that they have trashed for the last several years, this season is going to be glorious
