Houston’s picks are likely to remain in the late 20s barring both Westbrook and Harden dropping off by 2024.

Those swaps are likely just so Presti feels nice because OKC will not finish with a better record than Houston anytime soon.

Unless Westbrook and Harden collide like two asteroids into a billion megatons of fire and dust.

i cant wait

How many teams are lining up to take a worn down point making about $40m a season for multiple seasons?

It's like Morey dumped Paul for 2 mediocre picks, then Presti added in Westbrook for two pick swaps.

People hating on this trade need to realize that CP3's contract is a top 5 worst in the league.

Hilarious. 2 of the worst least interested off ball players in the games.

Does OKC buy out CP3? I can’t see any point in keeping him or anyone willing to take him. I guess he’s a big name who can sell tickets, but not a “locker room” guy for a rebuilding team.

CP3 should have been UNTRADEABLE and OKC bailed Houston out by getting CP3 off Houston's roster, UNBELIEVEABLE OKC helped them out.

It's actually a year shorter than Westbrook's contract...

They really gonna play Harden and Russ in the backcourt? Harden moves to off ball full time?

What a bizarre trade to make if you're OKC. Basically the most important player in franchise history shipped off for a guy no one wants and a couple picks. Weird turn of events.

i like it. whether chris paul stays or not it's a good trade. westbrook's contract is toxic. got out of the last year and got more picks.

Chris Paul looking for a new insurance agent.

my mind is blown.

Why does this make sense for OKC ?
