I'm not sure if we're allowed to post RDA or not, but

OKC is now AGGRESIVLY attempting to find a landing place for Chris Paul. Their first plan was to have Westbrook sent to Rockets via 3 team trade. They do NOT plan on playing him this year and will likely agree to a buyout if unable to find a trade.
We all know he is full of ****. Why would you want to post him?
Is he? Did the mods already ban posts about him?
RDA is full of crap. This post basically proves it (if his crap about Kawhi didn’t already prove it for you). There’s NO WAY CP3 gets bought out. He’s not giving up enough money to make it worth it to the Thunder, period. The Thunder have no interest in having his massive cap holds sit on their salary cap for zero value back too, or in giving CP3 over a hundred million to go play on another team, I’m sure.
Haha Harden and Westbrook are terrible together. Psychotic and erratic offense with little to no defense. All high octane yelling and screaming at the sky while throwing up irresponsible shot selection. Then the chest pounding begins from Westbrook.
What a joke of a duo
Harden is probably doing the face-to-palm right now. Absolutely hilarious _________________ "We are the goodest." - Shaq ESPN interview
Since Thunder are in stock-piling picks mode, you guys think we can get Andre Roberson for a future 2nd? We would have someone that can guard Kawhi/Harden ..etc.
I thought about it, but wasn't sure about Roberson's injury status. _________________ On Lakersground, a concern troll is someone who is a fan of another team, but pretends to be a Lakers fan with "concerns".
I think it's time for San Antonio to get back in the convo and give up some young talent for cp3 while Pop is still coaching. Have their big 4 again in CP3, Demar and Aldridge. Just makes sense at this point for a Parker, Manu, Duncan remix. I mean OKC can't really expect to buy out Cp3 with all that money owed. And Lakers ain't got no assets to trade...

Supposedly, Harden wanted Russ on the team. He got him and now we (hopefully) get to enjoy the comedy.
On paper, Westbrook’s fit with Harden is much, much worse than Chris Paul’s. Paul is a much better defender than Westbrook, and there is zero comparison between the two as shooters. Westbrook, thus far in his career, has been essentially useless off the ball. Paul is at least a major threat to knock down jumpers consistently on catch and shoots and is a dangerous enough shooter to force defenders to sprint out to try to contest on him, which gives him easy ways to attack closeouts.
Westbrook is going to need to revamp how he plays and find his ability to shoot, or MDA is going to have to get damn creative to find a way to make the pairing better than the Paul/Harden one.
Just spoke to a source close to the Rockets organization, I asked him about the Westbrook acquisition and he said to me "We're trying to win now. What happens two, three years down [the line] doesn't concern us at the moment. We'll figure it out when it's time"
That sounds obvious, fam.
That sounds honest. Wish our FO is too, not delusional.

Yeah I don’t see that going well for the Rox. CP3 and Harden did pretty good when they were healthy, but I dont think this will be better. Both need the ball in their hands and Westbrook ain’t gonna do much off the ball.
Hey they can battle for triple doubles though! _________________ We pour this booze and we drink this booze because we think it's yummy. YUMMY! So over the tounge and down the throat to party in our tummys.

OKC being a small market team desperately will need to shed salary in the wake of the Paul trade. I would think Presti will trade some of his draft assets as incentive in order to gain more salary cap flexibility for future moves. Amazing how more than anything salary trumps talent in trade discussions across all sports nowadays.

Houston hoped to find third-team destination preferable to Chris Paul, but ultimately leaves it OKC to execute next step once Presti confers w/ CP3 agent Leon Rose. Miami remains possibility for Paul (3 years, $124M) -- and OKC obviously has picks to incentivize deal, if needed.

lol thats such an awful pairing.. Not worried about them in the least once the playoffs roll around.. They gave up all those draft picks too.. Imagine the games once the playoffs roll around and they dont let harden flop as much and then you have westbrook having one of his classic bricktastic games.. There's going to be some absolutely horrific shooting nights.

He hasn't played since Jan 2018. We couldn't afford him anyway. His salary is almost $11 million this season and the Thunder should be giving us picks to get rid of it. _________________ "Suck it up. Don't be a baby. Do your job." - Kobe Bryant

Like 12 of 60 between the two of them and 40 missed 3s. But does Westbrook start getting the Harden calls when he charges to the rim? They may get infinity free throws per game. It's going to be hilarious and unbearable at the same time.

No he can easily trade Adams for a pick or 2
Stretch roberson
Yes, Adams can and will be had for actual basketball value. Same with Gallinari. I don't think they'd want to stretch Roberson when they could just pay a team a draft pick or two to free up the space. Eventually I would think they'd dip into their treasure chest of draft assets to dump Chris Paul's contract when some of their young players are ready for their second contract.
