Westbrook and Harden played together since they were kids, they know how they play and they know their own styles as well, they are not worried about it so why should you be. Right now Westbrook knows that he is coming to hardens team and he won't be trying to be the alpha dog there for sure but even if he does their styles are super different from each other.

Harden is known for his unathletic smart skilled plays whereas Westbrook is known for his explosive physical style of play, one will do one thing and the other will do something else, since there is two people who are super talented on the team opposing teams will hard time doubling anyone, you could even focus on harden when Chris Paul was on the team but if you do that now than Westbrook will make you pay.

Paul is good PG, if we will compare him to westbook, we must need to focus on their rule and thought westbrook has some good stats but you can see how Paul will impact in the floor especially in though times. The previous playoffs when they face the Warriors in the WCF, the rockets had a better chance of winning if Paul was available in game 7, and prior to that, he help his team a lot as he is very consistent than Harden.

Westbrook is just after the records.

This is been exploited by a lot of people and can be seen through the plays he is making. In fact there are a lot of YouTube videos you can watch explaining and showing this selfish plays by Westbrook. I think that is the reason why Durant and Westbrook don't like each other. And well, Harden is a ball--you know what kind of a player he is.

That's what I think about Westbrook. The team management may have made a bad idea of bringing Westbrook to Houston though. Eventhough he is a good player in his position but Houston has James Harden who we know lead the team and I don't think Westbrook will follow the lead of Harden.

Westbrook has to follow if that's the team is design for, of course he can't replace harden as a main man in the team as the Rockets had the success with Harden, it's just that they are not a championship team and the Rockets management are hoping that they will become one by trading CP3 for Westbrook.

I'm sorry but I'm not buying that argument. Him and Harden are healthy this season but still GSW beat the without Durant on the floor. And CP3 and Westbrook are not comparable, of course both of them can bring impact to the team they play, but that's about it as far as comparison it.

If you wanted to compare Westbrook, it will be on Harden, two good ball players so chooses to seek more statistics under their belt but totally choke on playoffs.

I don't think either one of them will or can adjust. They both play similar so I don't know how it will impact Houston now.

I guess that's because Paul and Harden are not in good terms, the news just came late but I can notice that Paul has limited touches of the ball compared to the time they brought the series in 7 games.

How interesting the previous match it will be more fun and entertainment if anyone is like me then share your thoughts because I am not a complete interested person in NBA but the previous match was very interesting for me.

You are late mate, you just go go back read and see the discussions of the previous finals. Anyone read the news that OKC is looking for Paul to be traded ASAP?

https://sports.yahoo.com/report-thunder-looking-to-trade-chris-paul-as-soon-as-they-can-175335760.html

The report says that the potential team should be Miami, oh well, too bad for this veteran point guard, I mean he can still play but it looks like OKC just wanted to get rid of Westbrook. And then will trade CP3 to build a new roster for next coming years and definitely the ageing play maker is not part of it.

I feel bad for Chris.

What's up with that? He's still doing great. I don't know what to say, all I know is that obviously, with that big contract, deals will be hard to lay out.
Building a team needs to have a huge cap so if that's how OKC will deal to CP3 then he don't have any other options for that he just need to go with the flow and play to whichever teams he will be landed, who knows, maybe he can manage to takeover and make a good hype to his career playing to a new team

He can still play but I don't think he is getting the same treatment as others veterans in the game. Slowly they are going to exit and might retire unless he really finds a good team that will suit him the best.

And with the last contract on his head, I don't know if they are willing to take the risk. Because we all know that teams are looking for fresh recruit as their foundation on building a new team and CP3 is too old for that.

He was, that's because he has no teammate that is also after for a record, LOL.
Since they (harden and wesbrook) will be playing together, they should not be selfish, instead they have to share the ball in the court for the benefit of the entire team. They had been MVP already, they should go for championship this time and I think there's a high possibility.

With all his previous antics, It is becoming apparent that most team would not want Chris to lead their roster. The guy is also past his prime already and keeps getting injured. It's not worth it to keep his expensive contract.

I get it with the expensive price. But to say he is not worth it?
Cmon! CP3 is one of the best pointguards out there. Let us face it. He just dont have that right team to win a championship.
If healthy he's one of the best on the court but base on the Rockets decision and the Thunder's plan to off load, he might not be worth the risk. We can have a different opinion on whether or not he had the right team, he had a good chance to lead the clippers and also the rockets.

One more thing. He aint like Carmelo Anthony who will not play if he will just be in the 2nd team.
CP3 had already swallowed his pride and we can see it with his plays and minutes in the Rockets team.

He is willing to lead the 2nd team and a lot of 6th man have a large contract just like him. Besides, the Rockets team is the one who offered him that price. He is still good. Just being under rated by now for age and past injuries. Add the non championship record too.

CP3 didn't use his full potential when is with the Rockets because of Harden and now is traded already, maybe he can redeem himself. Remember when he is on the Clippers.

I think the Thunder wants to rebuild their roster so the traded Westbrook and find another point guard.

What match? You mean the recent NBA Finals?

It is not fun or entertaining for me. You know why? Players are getting injured and that is sad and disappointing, not only for themselves but also for their team and their teammates. It is not that they are to blame but that really is so sad. Even their opponent team are sad knowing that. At the other side if story, the other did their best and that is why they deserve the trophy.

It has been a while since I heard or read anything about the former no. 1 draft pick, Anthony Bennett. He will be playing with Harden and Westbrook next season. I hope the kid can really deliver with his new team.

That is Harden though. The statement here should be, I hope that Harden let Anthony Bennett play with the ball. I mean, he's Harden. Speaking of first pick, Zion is injured? It may not be that serious but I think that can be dangerous for the team in the future games.

What is next with the Rockets. A ball hog to another. It will be a mess. I just hope Mike D'Antoni could discipline this two.

This is what I'm thinking that is why I'm asking all of you if they will sync with each other. They are playing the same way. Shooting, Passing rebounding. 2 MVP caliber players in the same team has risk but if Coach Mike can discipline these two and make sync with each other, they can be a championship caliber and can go to the NBA Finals next season.
The Rockets management is gambling here, it's championship for these duo or another bust. With Paul and Harden, the Rockets did not reached the Finals while we all know how good  a point guard Paul is, so maybe this experiment might work well for the Rockets next season. This is not easy for these two superstars to change their game but for me they just have to continue what they do best and have fun and maybe this will yield positive result.
They have their chances, unfortunately, Golden State is too much for them and then those two superstars clash and one has to leave. Another negative for CP3 is that he is no longer young. As far as Houston getting Westbrook yes it is really a gamble for them, but we can't blame them are they wanted to make the team better(Huh).

CP3 seems to be stuck on Thunder for now. They are trying to find a way to get rid of him but it looks like it is not going to happen anytime soon because his contract is so big and he is the president of NBPA so he will not just waive his rights or get bought out so he will have to get traded in order to not count for the cap and that is very difficult.

OKC wants to get as many picks as they can and right now they have 14 first round picks and 4 pick swaps until 2026 plus god knows how many second round picks with it, if they decide to unload Chris Paul somehow then they would have to give up some picks as well and that doesn't really makes sense at all, if they want to rebuild they need picks so if they trade away picks to get rid of cp3 then what is the point of getting so many picks to begin with? I really wonder they will end up doing eventually.
