James Harden Served As 'Driving Force' In Rockets Trading For Russell Westbrook

Post #1 » by **RealGM Wiretap** » Fri Jul 12, 2019 2:24 am

The Houston Rockets have acquired Russell Westbrook from the Oklahoma City Thunder, which had James Harden serve as "a driving force" to get a deal done.

Westbrook and Harden decided they wanted to reunite after they were previously teammates with the Thunder from 2009 until 2012.

The Rockets believe they have a higher ceiling with Westbrook replacing Paul.

Will KD try to get down there one day too?

if this doesnt work between MVP harden and MVP russ , will the blame finally fall on Harden as he's ran off Dwight & CP3 already
or will D'antoni be made the scapegoat

Dwight was a shadow.. CP3 was consistently injured they took the best team ever to 7 games with CP3 injured for 2 of them.. Do I have problems with Hardens game yeah but I think he has done more than Westbrick.. They won't be winning because Harden is not as good as LeBron Kawhi or Steph Curry simply how it is..

I'm not a big Harden fan but Dwight has been on 8 teams in 8 years..he's his own problem..CP3 has a rep of being a shyty teammate..rumors going around that CP3 was making fun of James Harden man boobs to the point htat harden was crying :lol:

Kobe said it perfectly to Dwight. There’s always going to be a new opportunity that might seem better when are you going to settle down and put your roots to a team. And you wonder why his best years were in Orlando Magic. Plus I think they back injury really changed his career trajectory
