This is one of the craziest off seasons ever, right? So much fuckery lol.
Didn't watch Edwards play at all, but man is his shot something else. Guy has been cooking in the summer league.
Need Smart to run the second unit and Edwards take half of his shot attempts..
haven't checked the odds for "what team will Chris Paul start the season with next year" but you should probably bet Miami
If he could play the Shane Larkin role that would be great.Honestly Smart is a near perfect fit in the backcourt next to Edwards, if Edwards can show a little more off ball than he's used to.
I'm at the point where I think Edwards could get some real minutes next year.
Sure, but Westbrook is a worse off ball player than 32-34 year old CP3. Rockets are really going to roll out their best two players being two guys who won't do jack shit without the ball in their handsNot that large, but I definitely think Westbrook is a better player than a 32-34 year old Chris Paul.
Its makes sense for Riley I guess.The Heat going after Paul makes Zero sense, stop that nonsense
Isn't he Rick Barry's son?As if the summer league Celts couldnt get more likeable and intriguing I totally forgot they have a dude who shoots free throws underhanded.
No it doesn't, he just let Westbrook go because OKC wanted their young core, so why would he trade with them for an older, less effective, and injury prone player when he passed when he passed on a better one
Id rather have someone who can actually play basket when we need him toSure, but Westbrook is a worse off ball player than 32-34 year old CP3. Rockets are really going to roll out their best two players being two guys who won't do jack shit without the ball in their hands
Grayson Allen is so damn mentally soft. Guy gets annoyed at the smallest shit.

So glad we got rid of his ass. Thought he was a terrible pickup in the draft and all last season proved that right.Grayson Allen is dirty and was consistently enabled by Duke. Can't get away with that garbage now.
Jazz second round pick Miye Oni has already shown me more than Grayson Allen ever did.
All of the analysis I'm seeing so far is about how this trade affects the Rockets offense, but between losing CP3 and Jeff Bzdelik that Houston defense is gonna be rough. Westbrook/Harden is the worst defensive backcourt of any ostensible title contender.
Feels like the Dubs are in a gap year, and the Blazers aren't title contenders in this universe. Going from Chris Paul to Russell Westbrook is a meaningful defensive downgrade.Curry and DLo? Dame and CJ? Westbrook and Harden are better than their reputations. Harden is pretty good defending the post and Westbrook at least tries (though he gambles too much).
Need to counter the 6ers somehowSo is the Knicks plan to roll out a starting 5 of all Power Fowards, or what?
