Warriors - Steph and Klay Lakers - AD and Lebron Clippers - Kawhi and George Rockets - CP3 and Harden Nets - KD and Kyrie
Some major pairings there. Good for a bit of League parity. West is going to be a crazy season.
So that list is incorrect now. Rockets is going to be Westbrook and Harden!
[Wojnarowski] 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.
WB distributing to Harden is going to be seriously scary.
It’s weird how WB fits the Moreyball style of play and yet he doesn’t. Given his poor shooting, it makes sense that he dishes out to the better shooters (which he can do and has proven he can consistently). And yet, we also know a major part of his game is driving to the rim...just like Harden.

Will be a fun watch nonetheless.
Can’t really see it working. Harden’s going to be unwilling to let go of his dribble dribble dish style and where does that leave Westbrook? A catch and shoot guy when he shot under 30% from three last year?
And who would you rather drive to the rim, the flopper extraordinaire who gets more FTs than anyone else and who shot 88% from the line last year, or Russ who shot in the 60s?
If I’m D’Antoni I’m having one of them on the court at all times, but rarely both at the same time.
