Westbrook Traded to Wiz

[LoPo]

Lmao, what? Westbrook dominated the ball just as much as he usually does. One of the higher FGA per 36 and usage rates of his career.

He probably just didnt like the way the lockerroom was more lax under Harden. Harden is probably a bit more chill as a teammate, not someone who is going to get after guys.

I think he realized he wasn't going to see the ball as much this year because it obviously didn't work having two such ball dominant guys. It probably took an easy conversation. One or the other said - I need the ball more. The other guy probably got pissed.

It's extremely odd that both guys want out. The loose lockerroom under Harden argument for Russ doesn't make sense if both guys are looking to leave.

You know what's better than having 1 key contributor coming off an Achilles injury? 2 key contributors coming off of an Achilles injury.

Both the psyche and physical well being of HOU might be pretty volatile this season.

Rockets just a got a ton easier for the Jazz to defend - even with a healthy John Wall.

With Harden still supposedly demanding to be moved - I can see a scenario where Harden gets all his points, and they miss the playoffs.

The only thing that matters in this HOU matchup is if the Jazz can make wide open shots against air. Wall/WB changes nothing.

Honestly I dont get this trade. Did Westbrook not get along with Harden?

Not enough balls.

I'm interested in seeing if Wall's 3pt% goes up now that he's on a team with an elite scorer.

I don’t know if true but I have heard Westbrook isn’t easy to get along with in the locker room.

I thought Westbrook could have been a great one-man show on the Knicks. It doesn't look like it will ever happen while he is still the star.

I agree. Russ in a packed Madison Square Garden would be something else.

( Sadly not packed this season though )

There is a story floating that Westbrook called a player only meeting during a long cold streak. Harden refused to take any constructive criticism and walked out. Westbrook wanted a trade stating there was no accountability among the players.

I’ve heard quite the opposite. It’s reporters he doesn’t get along with.

Though he tends to not gel with other superstars on the team, harden and KD. But, those two are hard to gel with in my opinion. Westy even tried to gel better with Harden, changed his whole game around to try to make it work with harden.
