This is going to be a glorious train wreck :lol:

Seriously though I love Westbrook as a player and would like to see him have some type of success.

What difference does the contract make? It's not like they're gonna need cap space over the next 3 years anyways.

People talk about Carmelo and Dwight but CP3 might be the worse character in a locker room.

You seen that Westbrook contract? Trade was a pile of garbage for a mountain of trash.

This is wildness. Personally I think Paul is washed, so ditching him is solid, but...who the heck does Westbrook "fit" with offensively? Maybe he's fine without the ball and is just gonna focus on getting 8 offensive boards per game, mostly off his own misses. I dunno. I like this move overall.
It's time for 5 refs.

One of those weird trades where both teams got worse.

I guarantee they wouldn't. I truly can't stress enough how off you are with that take.

Why is it a bad trade for OKC? They wasn’t going anywhere anyway with Westbrook. Westbrook contract is bigger than CP3. They actually got a better “pure” point guard in Chris Paul.

Houston going full hero ball mode. This is going to be an epic high octane offense or a major chuckfest. :lol:

I give it to Morey though. The guy isn't afraid to stir **** up.
