Just confirmed.

The OKC Thunder traded Russell Westbrook to the Rockets for CP3, first round picks in 2024 & 2026, and two pick swaps. I just see it on Facebook and did a bit of research and I think it is true.

I verify that this is real story, it's on the news. Sources are espn and bleacher report.

Urgh!!!! How could this happen!!!???
So, there will be another story after this.
I hope you all know what that is.
Just to make you remember. There is a this gossip about CP3 and Harden to be not in good terms. ESPN will be talking about this, I am sure about that.
They will not confirm that it might be true.
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.

Mike could not even discipline one ball hog, how could he discipline another? Cheesy

There are stories behind why this trade happened.
OKC wanted to trade Westbrook to the Raptors. He didn't like that so he demanded to be traded.
CP3 and Harden not in good terms as you mentioned and Rockets management found a good reason to offload CP3's expensive contract.

The way I see it, OKC are done with their championship hopes (for now) and just wanted to start again. I don't see them keeping CP3 either, he'll probably be traded to another team for draft picks.

Maybe the right word to say is Curry Helped him to take the MVP twice,and also the whole GSW

But I agreed that KD is not what Golden State Warrior needs to bring back the championship it’s more on Thompson that give the tram confidence in playing because he is the one who’s triggering the game when they are downing.

There you go and that is true.
They wont give that max contract to Thompson if they dont know he is the next ace player of the GSW.
Durant is just a passerby to them.

The thunder is better off without westbrook at this moment. Best of luck to the rockets with the reunion of James and Russell.

Meanwhile in New York, it appears they now have a meaningful signing in Marcus Morris stealing him from the Spurs.

But I think Westbrook in other team might adjust with another superstar, WB is better than CP3 if we based it on stats and no one can beat WB triple double stat padding. Both MVP are playing together in one team, it's interesting who will lead the team but it should be harden as he was the main ma before WB arrival.

I also think they can easily reach in the playoffs and they might just face a problem in the playoffs.

Seems like this will be the end year for GSW. Many teams are grouping their superteam. In fact, even james and kyrie want to have their year right now. Well, I always like GSW but the absence of KD will make them impossible to achieve the final conference. Let us just have fun in betting every team. Since the games are really unpredictable.

73-9 record was without KD. They dont really need him. What Green told him is just the truth.
He may have been the 2 time Finals MVP but that is because Curry let him.
That is what the good part of GSW is. They can make one star to have a championship and also an MVP.

Also, it is very strange that Kawhi accepted lesser money to join the Clippers.

Seen or already read this article that published just a few hours after Kawhi's decision?

(Don't focus on the title but on the content, it's really a click bait lol)

This is a long article but good to read for some additional references believed me.

(P.S Some thoughts are speculative so again, just considered those as references.)

This article is creating a story about Kahwi and a desire for a longterm legacy. That is a good storyboard, however, I heard he has made some strange decisions in the past like deciding to go to San Diego State instead of the finer UCLA.

In any case, I accept the he wants to be close to his family in LA argument.

What do you think about the Westbrook - Harden duo?? Both are shooters and passers. Do you think they will sync with each other or not??

Very surprise on this but an interesting move by the Thunder.

I did a research and it seemed confirm - https://nypost.com/2019/07/11/thunder-trade-russell-westbrook-to-rockets-for-chris-paul/

Good luck to the next season for these stars, this coming season is maybe one of the interesting season of the NBA.

But Lebron will be the main point guard here specially in dying minutes

Not only in the dying minutes, he just love to act as point guard and this makes the role of Rondo not so effective.
Lebron needs to trust his teammates more and let them do their role inside the court.

I remember him do almost every position each game that he has before so Lebron is just trying to be flexible and probably giving way to some positions that he's trusting with his teammates.

Quote from: Kasabus on July 11, 2019, 07:16:00 PM

I beg to disagree with that, Rondo as a point guard in Celtics has won championship in 2008, so we can't say he is not good.

You just made me remember my childhood when my classmate and I used to talk about it!

It's what I'm saying and it just happened last season that we've expected good about Lakers because Lebron was joining the team. But we know the outcome of his transfer because he's just with new teammates. Every team can be a powerhouse and strong team but the performance and on how long they can make it through the entire league is what makes sense. The trades and change of roster are very interesting but it's still just on the papers until we see them how they would connect to each other.

LeBron James is the only additional (core) on the Lakers roster the last yes so yes I've expected good for them but not to the point that "they will be very good". Warriors, Rockets and most team in the West, etc. it's almost too much for the Lakers even LeBron James was there.

And then as the game goes, we can see that their young guns, even playing for several seasons, didn't manage to improve at all. Mainly, because they have no strong leader on the floor. And when LeBron came, they managed to get a pretty good record on the first phase. Just didn't maintain it till the end so Lakers didn't make some playoffs appearance again for 6 consecutive seasons. I see that it's a good idea that those young cores split up and spread their talents somewhere else.

I felt bad to see them not included in the playoffs as usual it's Lakers and it's one of the best teams in the history together with a great player which is the king. But moving on, we've got some nice news for them and I think they really are working on their roster and they should start working on their chemistry so that they are not going to be shy communicating with each other. I just hope that there will be no longer gap between superstars and promising players on the team.

What is really missing with the strong GSW is Andre Iguodala. Without him the defense will suck. Klay is also one of best contributors in defense.
But let us face it. The great duo is still there. Green and Curry. Adding D'Angelo is a bonus and they still have Looney for D.
Klay will be back in February, if they managed to at least have the 7th or 8th seed in the playoffs then it could be a big turnaround with Klay playing again.

There is a reason why he took less years and less money, he is a fmvp player and he could go for 35% of all cap space type of contract on his next contract, he has been in the league less than 10 years so he can't get that supermax yet, he can get max which is 30% of all cap space which he did took from clippers but if he plays 2 more years then he will be eligible to get 35% of all cap space instead of 30% which will be significantly higher in multi millions. He has been in the league for 8 years though so why didn't he do a 2 year deal and then a supermax extension?

Well, because clippers needs to have 3 years to get his bird rights, if a team has the bird rights to a player they can pay him a lot more, which means if he plays for 3 years that will be 11 years so he can get the supermax plus clippers will have bird rights and give him even more.

This contract is looking like it is not ideal for him but he is just making a way for the next contract to be gargantuan for him. Like maybe 40+ even over 50+ by that time per year. Then he will sign a 4 year deal easily because he will be quite old in 7 years but clippers will probably pay him anyway if things work out.

We won't see the full power of Brooklyn Nets in the upcoming 2019-20 season as Kevin Durant might miss the whole season, not officially but a big possibility. Hopefully, he will return to his usual shape once he came back @ 2020-21 season (argh I feel old now) although I'm not expecting it 100% as a ruptured Achilles is a serious injury.

It's a gamble for Nets honestly as even they were able to sign Durant to a 4 year contract, the latter has an option to opt-out after the 2nd year. Meaning "for now", it's only 1 season that Nets will able to take advantage of Kevin Durant.

Kyrie might have a hard time lifting the Nets or to act as the main gun as compared to his teammates in Boston Celtics, we can see a big difference.

Current odds on NBA Futures @ Nitrogensports

Los Angeles Clippers @ 3.8
Los Angeles Lakers @ 4.6
Milwaukee Bucks @ 6
Golden State Warriors @ 12
Brooklyn Nets @ 23
Toronto Raptors @ 31

The result of what happened in the free agency. It's been a long time since Warriors have that odds. They are playing around to just @1 to @3 every season since 2015. Looking forward to that Los Angeles fever if they can live with the hype.

I want Clippers and Lakers getting hyped and being the Vegas favorite.
Once the game starts there will be a huge turnaround with this odds.

Then of course I will bet with GSW. Just want to see where it will go but I do have the idea that they can best the West. This team had still the best chemistry than any other team.
It will be the Denver Nuggets which will be a difficult opponent of GSW when it comes to chemistry.

But Lakers and Clippers will need a lot of practice to make that happen.

Haha, give them some time. I think that Lebron is thirsty to get into the playoffs, semi's and finals.
