    OK, Isaiah Thomas just said it was a good trade for the Rockets, so now I'm second-guessing myself.

    He's going to be Houston's new pg. Harden is dominates the more much more than Paul or even Durant.

    Disagree, George isn't near as ball dominant as Harden is..

    They got bounced in the first round when teams gameplanned for them.

    They’re gonna win a ton of regular season games, Harden and Westbrook will Destroy bad teams.

    He's not. But there are degrees to that. It's not an all-or-nothing proposition.

    Paul needs the ball in his hands offensively all the time, and he's not nearly as good as Westbrook anymore. It's not close.

    The post was about how Westbrook would co-exist with another star. He's not the one to worry about. If this doesn't work, it will be because Harden's ego is too big for it to work, that he won't share the ball.

    It would have to be a long term buyout...no way they are paying $41 mill over a couple years.

    At the beginning of the season...
    Westbrick will be 31,
    Harden will be 30.
