Westbrook to Houston for CP3

[mellow]

Thunder needs to flip CP3 to New Orleans for a couple more picks or something.

I actually think him losing a step could help his game. To me, his biggest weakness is he tries to do too much and only has one gear which is 100%. Losing a step could help him find different gears.

Don't get me wrong, it could be a bad deal. I'm just not naive enough to say that it's a done deal. The Rockets looked like they sucked last year and then figured it out and became one of the best teams in the NBA. They did this while Chris Paul was being a bad teammate.

I think Dan Anthony's system is built for a guy like Westbrook. I think Harden and Westbrook can lighten each other's load (lol) and could glue. I think they both have more than a few years of all star level game left in them. I think they could make noise in the league.

The Rockets have had us by our balls the last few years and now have Westbrook and people are acting like they just got 31 year old Antoine Employee #8 Walker. I can hope, but I just don't think it will be that big of a disaster. I hope I'm wrong.

Perhaps, but I don't like the signs if I'm Houston. OKC was literally built around Rustbrook and now he'll have to play second fiddle to Harden. Pretty much Westbrook is Rubio with a knack for rebounds. I give him credit for going 100% all the time, but that's going to catch up eventually. Dude needs to find his stroke again before I think it will work well for the Rox.

David Griffin is too smart for that.

Why would New Orleans do that?

Yeah. . . but it would be poetic considering that he tried SO HARD to get away from New Orleans. I wonder if he ends up on the Knicks at the deadline. Presti can stock up on power forwards.

Now if Houston could now just add Kevin Durant, they’ll be unstoppable. Just think how many championships a team with KD, Harden, and Westbrook could win!

I can't imagine a reason except for poetic justice or perhaps irony.

The whole NBA is looney. I'm just looking for a laugh.

LOL. Good one.

Hell maybe they could sign Ibaka too!

Damn! Ibaka too? That team would be awesome! Just think of how many championships they’d win!

* Checks notes: I had to google to see what harden was originally traded for. Ouch. I guess OKC really wanted kevin Martin or something. Wow*

Would it get me killed if I floated the idea that Donovan Mitchell is maybe, possibly -- at least presently -- equivalent to Westbrook lite? Some of the criticism of Westbrook kind of stings when I think about it.
