CP3 can't be relied on at a high level. His contract was unmovable. This may have been the one move you could make that gives you a high level talent.

CP3 has been hurt how many years in a row now? How old is he now? Okay, sorry. Westbrook doesn't suck. Washed Chris Paul is still a lot more effective on a basketball court than Russell Westbrook. If injuries were the concern then whatever, but I'd rather have Chris Paul on the bench in a suit than Westbrook on the court come playoff time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SalvadorsDeli Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Russ was arguably a little overrated during his MVP year but things have swung so far in the direction it's hilarious to watch people act like he's anything other than a friggin stud. Westbrook has never gotten to play distributor with a group of shooters like this before. This is such a huge upgrade for the Rockets. The West is so spicy. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockets have a window NOW in a KD-less Western Conference. I like the move. These boys are going to be super dangerous and right in it till the end. Bro I said First are overrated but.. @Utley and @seminoles1 swear they’re gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris is a better fit, obvi, but he can't stay healthy enough to be relied upon. Russ at least gives you another elite talent. but yeah the fit is rough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
