They both are great.
...And it looks like Westbrook has been traded to Houston for CP3 and draft picks. Interesting. OKC is in rebuild mode.
Edit: sorry for the double post.
Westbrook and Harden will be interesting
I believe it will. I have always been a fan of not knowing who the favorite is. Not having a "super" team makes this interesting and I love it.
I loved Golden State, by the way. They built through the draft and signed one big free agent after already winning a title, so nothing held against them.
I did��
Westbrook to Houston for CP3? That's just dumb. Harden had the highest usage rate in the league last season. Do you know who was next? Westbrook. There literally isn't enough ball for the 2 of them. These analyst get on my nerves. I've heard them say over the past week or so, since this whole Harden/CP3 thing got out, that when Houston traded for CP3 they were wondering how it would work and thought that it wouldn't and now they're right. Give me a break. They forget that the first year they were together they had the best record in the league, a 3-2 game lead on GS in the WCF, and only lost because CP3 got injured. They forget that in games where CP3, Harden, and Capela started together they were like 33-1 or something like that. It didn't work this past season because Harden refused to pass.
If it didn't work with CP3 it damn sure ain't going to work with Westbrook.

I understand OKC wanting to retool, but they dumped a massive Westbrook contract for a massive CP3 contract. I think people are overlooking that one, so unless they plan to move Paul, its a weird move on the surface for that and the reasons you mentioned. Harden doesn't stat chase like Russ does, but man that team is about to be the most entertaining .500 first round playoff exit team of all time.
Oh well, I'm sure Eric Gordon will make enough stats to help Russ get those assist numbers up.
No, he just had coaches fired and got eliminated out of the playoffs until he had a team around him that was playoff caliber even after he retired.
But, sure, I mean think of all those great years the Cavaliers have had after LeBron leaves, it is JUST like the Bulls in '94 and '95. Right?
If I were Chris Paul, I'd be looking to go to the Lakers. I hate the idea of all top talent going to LA or NY, but it's probably the only place that can afford his contract and look at the weapons he would have. He can't be the #1 guy anymore, so how could it get any better?
I'm also a huge Lebron fan. I really want to see him unleashed as a scorer, even for just a season. Having Chris Paul can make that possible.
Oh, and Chris Paul has nowhere else to go. Those who can afford him probably hate his guts.
