Respect to Houston for going all in for it. More competition for the Lakers is great!

This league is a better place with Morey.  I don't agree with all of the moves he makes, but the dude sticks his neck out.  Never dull in Houston.

Can they play with two balls? Paul to OKC - that's hilarious.

I can’t see the fit, but I couldn’t see the Paul/Harden fit either. Will be interesting at least.

Thank god Westbrook wasn’t traded here

OKC loaded for bear with all those picks. In good stead to get the next disgruntled superstar demanding a trade.

Gotta think OKC will try to flip Paul.

Lol Miami...

But in all honesty I don’t think Westbrook and Harden will work well together. This isn’t OKC Harden, both need the ball to be effective.

  • Be the posts you wish to see in the world.
This is maybe the greatest test of "there's only one ball" I've ever seen. It's not even like it's viable to have Westbrook swallow his ego and spot up for 3s. Either part!


Interesting to see what happens to CP3 too, his contract is presumably too big to be bought out or taken on. Unless the Lakers are dumb enough to try it midseason...
