2 years. 2021 free agent class will be amazing. Could include Giannis, LeBron as well.Thats 3 years away though. GM and coach will have probably been fired by then.
Oh you mean their picks. Yeah 2022 the earliest one.

To be fair Kawhi and George will probably both get supermaxes in 2021 from Clippers and be still good for 2-3 years. Kawhi is only 28 and George is 29. At 30 and 31 they will still have a few years left at the top.It's both exciting and nerve-wracking wanting another franchise to fail miserably.
? Wouldn't giving up two first round picks indicate he had positive value?it does kind of prove my point about westbrook having very little value (negative IMO)
Ditto for me about Harden. Go win a ring!Btw every time I said Westbrook isn't that good I was just joking, he is obviously amazing.

not really. they took on a huge contract too? Wouldn't giving up two first round picks indicate he had positive value?
Please. Houston attached two firsts to CP3 (who expires a year before Russ) to get Westbrook.not really. they took on a huge contract too
Not much of a problem for Clippers. Both can play at 2, and I’d say both could play at 4 in the modern NBA. George does not really need the ball in his hands, Kawhi is good off ball too. Both tremendous defenders, both very good shooters, both adequate playmakers. They are literally perfect for each other.Now I get to ask how do the Rockets and Clippers work with 2 elite PGs and SFs respectively?
Those two firsts despite being so well in the future are quite valuable too. Rockets aren’t likely to be good in 2024 as that’s basically straight after Harden and Westbrook expire and they have zero young talent.Please. Houston attached two firsts to CP3 (who expires a year before Russ) to get Westbrook.
If it was a straight swap then Russ is a neutral asset. If OKC had to attach he was a negative (like Zach Lowe and others believed, which was crazy). Houston having to attach that shows either Russ was a positive asset or CP3 is a ridiculously negative asset - or a combo of both.
Yeah OKC would take that in a heartbeat I guess as a salary dump.jackson snell whitehead and a top 20 protected first for paul. lets try lob city again
i think chris paul has more value than russell westbrook to most teams. i also think russell westbrook had more value to houston than chris paul. the rockets could see it wasnt working and morey loves to chase stars. i dont think this will work either but it shakes things up. meanwhile i bet presti can get a couple of decent players or a late first for paul. so he really gets 3 firsts for westbrook and moves off the long term money. thus, presti is good, morey took a chance, westbrook still has very little value.Please.

It's because Westbrook is much younger.Please. Houston attached two firsts to CP3 (who expires a year before Russ) to get Westbrook.

Harden is the obvious leader of the team, he have to let him play his game, also I don't know how Westbrook would work with the Rockets 3 point shooting system.Westbrook didn't want to share shots with Durant, how does it work with Harden?
What does this even mean? Did you watch the Westbrook/Durant OKC team? Westbrook regularly deferred to Durant. He had no issue with it.Westbrook didn't want to share shots with Durant, how does it work with Harden?
True. Which makes him more of a positive asset than CP3.It's because Westbrook is much younger.
My apologies if that upset you. I didn't watch OKC but seem to recall plenty of chatter and highlights, perhaps exaggerated, on Westbrook jacking up shots in the fourth quarter, going hero-mode, while Durant was on the floor. If that wasn't the reality then my bad.What does this even mean? Did you watch the Westbrook/Durant OKC team? Westbrook regularly deferred to Durant. He had no issue with it.
Sorry for being rude. I just get tired of debating this point. There were definitely instances and moments where that happened but it has been exaggerated. Also, while Russ gets a lot of the blame for that it often happened because Durant wasn't willing to take the shot or make the play. Durant doesn't have an aggressive/confident personality like Westbrook so he often went into his shell and Westbrook just picked up the slack.My apologies if that upset you.

No idea about Rockets. Harden and Westbrook are horrific off ball.
