7 additional picks over the next 7 years! Wow! Only way to attract players to OKC is to draft them. Smart in their part....How long before Russ and Harden get into a fight over the ball

I can’t keep track and can barely figure out what this means

all right that’s just pure fun as hell. whether your team was on the winning or losing end overall this insane offseason has to be fun for any nba follower.

Going to be interesting watching Harden and Westbrook work together in MDA's system....So while Harden is dribbling the air out of the ball, Westbrook, a 29% 3pt shooter, is going to stand in the corner? MDA needs to adjust his coaching style based on his current roster as opposed to trying to jam a square peg into a rectangular hole , but we all know, MDA doesn't make adjustments...Also, Westbrook has a strong personality, and MDA is non-confrontational...Like i said, going to be interesting.

excatly but the other way around will work

Wonder if CP3 will try to get Melo back to the Thunder. Can't imaginge Chris Paul thinks this is a good move for him since Thunder are in rebuild mode.

How? Who do we have that comes close to matching Westbrook's salary who is available to be traded? Besides, I don't think we wanted Westbrook anyway.

8 picks, according to a later post on this thread.

This will be an interesting test for those of us who believe the draft is the best way to rebuild.

As interesting the Westbrook/Harden chemistry issue is, where do the other 3 players on the court fit in?

You already have the pick and roll center in Capela, the other 2 should just be 3 & D types, I guess. No?

Wow wait till we trade portis/Trier and Frankie for two of those draft picks

I disagree about MDA. I hope he is still the coach. I think this makes Houston a real threat to come out of the west.

MDA made it work with Harden as the primary ball handler, he made it work with Chris Paul. He ABSOLUTELY will make it work with Westbrook.

I wouldn't mind Paul for a rebuilding team. I think he would make the team competitive.

I wouldn't want his contract - it's absurd.

If he gets bought out, which doesn't make sense, he will likely head to a contender.

Word on the street is CP3 is a horrible teammate. Probably not the type of vet you want on a young team.
