    It’s a terrible fit, terrible. At least CP3 can hit a mid range jumper. Westbrook is all athleticism and that is declining, his 3 ball has been horrendous lately. ‘Antoni is going to rip his hair out at all the bricks, I love it. The only downside is Houston is going to shoot like 30 fts per game between Harden and Westbrook because they charge at the hoop like mad.

    ...what will you do when OKC buys him out and he signs with us?

    I feel like this will happen since CP3 and LeBron are bed buddies.

    At least then we’ll have two of New Orleans former #1 picks

    Already posted this in NBA discussion, but is every Rockets possession going to start with a Harden/Westbrook jump ball?

    How would that work? Can this happen? Stretch his contract or something?

    I can't believe Hou did this, they get worse and better in some ways

    Transition: They improve with Russ
    Half court: get much worse with less spacing and more stagnant offense
    Defense: Get worse, chris is still a very good defender. Russ takes too many gambles, not disciplined, out of position

    Lateral move, maybe a bit better, higher ceiling though so maybe that was the point. But Hou had GS with KD on the ropes twice, should have stuck it out another year, very stupid. And giving away tons of picks and swaps.

    Is there even a small chance cp3 gets bought out? I doubt it, but just wondering?

    I am really interested to see what OKC does with him, seems pretty pointless to have him there.

    No way in hell he gets bought out, how? He has a billion dollars left with 3 years left.

    I think OKC is just trading 4 years of a terrible contract for 3, and getting picks in the process. Slight upgrade.

    If this is remotely possible, he comes to LA and Rondo is gone and the Lakers then go to this lineup:

    Paul
    Green
    James
    Davis
    Cousins

    YIKES!

    They almost certainly cut Daniels instead. Just saying.

    Yeah that's going to be the 11th seed in the West.

    This is crazy on the rockets part. Not only do they pick up a longer contract. But another ball dominate guard that can't shoot. At least CP3 can shoot

    I do, LeBron would kick Daniels or Rondo to the curb so fast for CP3. Here’s hoping he isn’t bought out, I like this team, I don’t want to have to hate a piece of it. Right now we’re still sort of an interesting, fun veteran underdog team in a lot of people’s eyes. If CP3 joins we will be hated by every other fanbase in the league and deservedly so.

    I have absolutely no idea how it would work or if it’s possible..

    ...but I bet LeBron, Rich Paul, etc are trying to figure that out.
