Russ literally can’t even win a first round series without a Kevin Durant level teammate. Even paul George wasn’t enough to get him out rd 1. when you have harden you have all time elite team offense. When you have russ you are middle of the pack. ...

Why would OKC trade Russ for poor mans Russ coming off a career altering injury? You can't compare the two

Do they play with 2 balls in NBA games? Because they going to need 2 balls with Harden and Westbrook on the same team

That's my perfect gif response seeing this entire board hearded into a singular opinion of the Rockets because of one poster.

If I ever meet Boom, I'm buying all his beers. Dude has this whole site twisted up.

With control over 19 (!!!!!) 1st rounders between now and 2026, how soon does Danny Ainge quit his Celtics gig and beg to join OKC?

I’m comparing them because Wall, Paul, and Westbrook are widely looked at as 3 of the worst contracts in the NBA. Maybe that’s not obvious to everyone though.

But, are the Rockets sending assets to get Westbrook or to get off of Paul?
Can’t it be both. Get rid of a quality player who has a problematic contract given his age and get another quality player whose contract is a bit less problematic since he’s 4 years younger.

; they got assets for him because they traded him for one of the worst contracts in the league. One of the few worse than Westbrook’s.


Lol Pauls contract is not worse. They cut a year and gained two firsts. I think you're over thinking this

There's at least a year less on cp3's deal. You get out of the shite a year earlier that'd you'd been in with rich man's westbrook on your team.

I hope it wasn't underwhelming.

It's always underwhelming. Like Rouge or Owlfan.

What's wild is I remember nearly everything from that day.

One of those weird days that sticks in my mind. I can literally map out that entire day EXCEPT for the boom meeting. But he said wayyyyyy too much specific shite that was correct for him to have made it up.

I can’t wait for Woj to tell everyone that Harden was recruiting Westbrook behind the scenes

Right but I think it’s stupid for people to say, “People said they wouldn’t get assets for Westbrook, they got 2 firsts and 2 swaps!”, when they are ignoring the fact that they also got a worse player/contract in the deal. It’s just disingenuous.

I mean he’s pretty e-vocal

And I know other rockets fans too and they all hate Russ

I assume it’s to justify harden leaving okc but idk. Shits funny now with boom though. I mean come on

Have you not already seen the reports that Houston was Westbrook’s first option, and that he wanted a trade even before the George trade?
