From an on-court perspective, it's a rough fit. Paul was at least a competent three point shooter and tried to defend. This seems lose/lose-y to me, I thought it'd be Dragic and some other guy from Miami.

Nice return for OKC regardless of what protections are on picks.

Good Posting Judge · Jul 11, 2019

With all these power duos throughout the NBA I’ve heard the new look NBA referred to as the NBA Jam era.

How would you rank the duos?

- LeBron James & Anthony Davis

- James Harden & Russell Westbrook

- Kawhi Leonard & Paul George

- Kevin Durant & Kyrie Irving

- Steph Curry & Klay Thompson

- Porzingis & Doncic

Long Ball Larry · Jul 11, 2019

Chris Paul was an original New Orleans-Oklahoma City Hornets guard during his rookie year after Hurricane Katrina.

Oh my-lanta Houston for CP3

:lmao:

For those wondering, source tells @TheAthletic that OKC does this deal with full anticipation that Chris Paul will be part of a good team that now has a treasure trove of future assets. Gallinari, SGA, Adams, Roberson, Noel core, and EIGHT new 1st rounders, as @Travonne noted.

The Oklahoma City Thunder have agreed to trade Russell Westbrook to the Houston Rockets for Chris Paul, first-round picks in 2024 and 2026, pick swaps in 2021 and 2025, league sources tell ESPN.

FADE ROCKETS.

Flip to Miami?

ShamrockPride · Jul 11, 2019

Big part is Rockets were able to keep Capela. Idk, I'll be honest I think Houston could surprise us. They could either get to the WCF, or it could burn in glorious fashion.

I was going to include them and Jokic & Murray, but I got lazy.

I mean, Harden and Westbrook sharing the ball? Cmon.

In the video game - with the Blazers against any other team - I'd be shooting 3s from 1/2-3/4 court and praying the whole time.

NutterButter · Jul 11, 2019

Now that makes senses. Never thought they'd move Westbrook with out getting some assets in return.

Moe. · Jul 11, 2019

This is so great

NutterButter · Jul 11, 2019

OKC's 2025 1st round pick is feeling awfully lonely.

Moe. · Jul 11, 2019

I mean, Mike and Dan is gonna kill Westbrook, right?

Moe. · Jul 11, 2019

We will find out if Billy Donovan is a good coach at least. Big year for him coming up.

In case you were wondering, one NBA team can hold up to 123 first-round picks (and 87 first-round pick swap rights) at any given time.

NutterButter · Jul 11, 2019

I love these teams going all in. And I'm liking the power duo model where you can have some talent around the duo as opposed to the trio model which depleted all your cap space.

Exactly. Could be a golden age of NBA basketball ahead.

Danny Green: Kawhi wanted own route, never wanted to sign with Lakers

In other words: Kawhi didn't want the media fondling LeBron while Kawhi carried

Woj saying Paul could get flipped to a third (miami most likely team) but up to okc. Deal done from Houston standpoint

LOL...They'll get another 2 firsts for Paul.

They probably would have to trade miami one of their picks back to take the contract.

I'd think OKC would be the ones giving up additional assets to move Paul, no?

ffldrew · Jul 11, 2019

NBA guards are circling the calendar for when they face the Rockets - gonna light up the scoreboard

Well I mean they did take on the second-worst contract in the league.

I'm not following. No schtick.

Long Ball Larry · Jul 11, 2019

Miami can’t trade any firsts because five of their 7 are owed to or impacted by protections to okc, but I guess they could alter or remove some of those protections to be more favorable for okc.

MAC_32 · Jul 11, 2019

Insein said:
Can Paul be bought out? Can't imagine him playing there for a rebuild.

Sure, but what amount would it take for him to agree to that?

ffldrew · Jul 11, 2019

Can Silver veto the trade?

They traded the second-worst for the third-worst, it's a total win!

He will finally get a chance to install this ball movement/motion offense we've been hearing so much about

Moe. · Jul 11, 2019

Screw making Miami better at this point. A Jimmy Butler injury (guy played for Thibs for the better part of a decade) and those picks look incredible

thecatch · Jul 11, 2019

Morey’s indignation about the Harden-Paul drama has aged poorly.
