Russell Westbrook is in, Chris Paul is out. Rockets GM Daryl Morey pulled off the most surprising trade of the summer when he sent Paul to Oklahoma City for Westbrook. It’s yet to be seen whether Russ and James Harden will click but, considering their history with the Thunder, I think they’ll figure this out. It can’t be any worse than the your-turn-ok-now-my-turn style that Paul and Harden played.
Better. Adding in a player like Westbrook is obviously a big shakeup, but the rest of the roster remains the same.
