I'm sure he ends up staying in LA but it's interesting that he shows no indication to act like he's going to stay yet.

This feels kinda similar to the original Dwight trade. I doubt it plays out the same way, but I really hope it does. It would be hilarious to see the Lakers and Boston both dealing with this ****.

If AD leaves it could cripple the lakers for a decade since they’ve traded so many picks.

Germans are renowned for hating fun, so this isn't surprising.
wco81 wrote:Fisrt game for Westbrook with Rockets. Not a bad stats line. He took most shots for the team with Harden in foul trouble. Harden didn’t have a great game either.
But many of his points came from attacking the rim, making or drawing fouls. He didn’t shoot bad from 3 but he’s going to get some looks.

He was average for three quarters and had a really good fourth. Overall I wouldn’t describe anything I saw as drastically different than last year. He shot 41% from the field, 63% from the free throw line, made some great passes and had a good night shooting threes. A lot of his jumpers were barely drawing iron. Even though he was 3-7 from three, that’s fools gold. The rest of the rockets were horrible.
